4 15 June 2016 Are Shelby Mustang buyers more shrewd than most? From Hagerty Submitted by Bob Morgan By: Rick Carey Theyʼre only original once is a mantra enthusiastically parroted by auctioneers and dealers. It seems to have caught on with collectors, too, as some original, unrestored cars of top quality are bringing significantly higher prices than even freshly (and accurately) restored examples. Cars in scruffy, neglected condition non-running barn-finds, essentially have commanded startling premiums. Dirt, grime and rodentsʼ abandoned homes seem to have value among some collectors. With that in mind, it was with great fanfare and hopes for a headline result that Bonhams offered 1965 Shelby Mustang GT350 (serial number SFM6S163) at its recent Greenwich, Conn., auction. After all, the barn find fascination has produced results like a Mercedes-Benz 280SE 3.5 Cabriolet at Auctions Americaʼs Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., auction in April. That faded and neglected apparition, with poor clearcoat on the paint, sold for $269,500, the value of a cosmetically restored and well maintained example.

5 In Scottsdale, Ariz., in January, Gooding & Company featured three barn finds, all with carefully preserved dirt and bird droppings (woe to the future curator). A Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster brought a relatively modest, but still expensive, $792,000. Its garage companion, a 190SL in somewhat worse condition, went away for a seriously optimistic $74,250, selling into a decidedly weakening market for the model. The cream of the crop there may have been a ʼ62 Maserati 3500GT Vignale Spider that sold for $473,000. Not only were its doorsills rotten and lumpy, it didnʼt have the original engine. Engineer Fran Grayson purchased the aforementioned Shelby GT350 in Before he bought it, the Mustang had been raced and used for promotions by two related Ford dealerships in Massachusetts, Harr Ford and Natick Ford. It served as a daily driver, too, as its badly rusted right side proclaims, until 1976, when Grayson tucked it away. It remained in his storage building until recently. SFM6S163 was one of the 252 so-called carryover ʼ66 Shelbys, built from late 1965 Mustangs using the ʼ66 grille, quarter windows and GT instrument panel, among other details, but retaining the performance features of the ʼ65 cars. Its originality was uncompromised, but it also came from a meticulous home with a thick folder of literature and records as well as parts and service invoices. Its body was a bit more compromised, though Bonhams specialists were quick to point out that theyʼd been under it and the floors were, with the exception of the right rear footwell, solid. Modestly estimated at $80,000-$120,000, it was highly anticipated when it crossed the block late in the auction and sold for $159,500. In the context of recent sales of the desirable carryover ʼ66 Shelby GT350, this represented a realistic, even modest, value for a potential Preservation class show winner. Russo and Steele reported selling SFM6S213, restored to pristine, show-ready condition, at its Monterey, Calif., auction last year for $313,500. Why no originality premium on SFM6S163? Apparently Shelby Mustang buyers have more sense than to read something into the tea leaves of dirt, animal scat and grunge.

6 Cool Stuff by Bill Coerver Eighth Generation ( ) New sharply creased fenders and revised front and rear fascias appeared on the 1999 Mustang while the windshield and roofs carried forward unchanged. An appreciated touch with the new styling was the "corral" around the galloping horse in the Mustang's grille. In fact, most of the interior and chassis was also unchanged, so it might be best to think of this as less a true eighth-generation Mustang than as an aesthetic development of the seventh. All 1999 Mustangs also got special 35th anniversary badges on their front fenders. Significant revisions to both the base Mustang's 3.8-liter V6 and the GT's 4.6-liter V8 seriously increased their horsepower ratings for '99. The V6 was now pumping out an impressive 190 horsepower and the V8 a stout 260. Transmission choices remained either the five-speed manual or four-speed automatic. Intended to be the pride of the Mustang fleet for '99 was the seriously revised Cobra. The big news here was the first independent rear suspension ever offered under a Mustang; basically a trailing arm system incorporating lightweight aluminum control arms, that rode in its own cradle, which bolted in place of the solid rear axle still used on other Mustangs. The rear suspension worked well, but the revised 4.6-liter, DOHC, 32-valve V8 would wind up an embarrassment to Ford. Originally rated at 320 horsepower (up from 305 in previous-year Cobras), many owners were distressed to discover that their engines were often making less than 300 horsepower. Fueled by Internet bulletin board postings was a class-action suit by Cobra owners demanding refunds or new engines, Ford desperately trying to satisfy them and the suspension of Cobra production during the 2000 model year. While 8,095 Cobras escaped Ford during '99, only 454 made it out during 2000.

7 Except for new fender badges and the usual minor tweaks, the Mustang carried over for A limited run of 300 "Cobra R" models were produced this year powered by a 5.4- liter, iron-block version of the DOHC, 32-valve engine rated at a massive 385 horsepower. Stripped of such niceties as air conditioning and a backseat, and carrying a $55,845 price, the Cobra R sold out in no time at all. For the first time since 1989, Ford sold more than 200,000 Mustangs a total of 215,393 found homes in The Cobra returned for 2001, but the big news that year was the special "Bullitt" edition Mustang GT coupe designed to evoke memories of the '68 Mustang driven by Steve McQueen in the 1968 film of that name. The Bullitt, based on the regular GT, featured a lowered suspension, new five-spoke wheels evocative of the classic Torq-Thrust design and such neat exterior details as a fuel-filler door designed to look like that of an aircraft's. The interior was also redecorated with special graphics on the instrumentation and special upholstery, both reminiscent of the 1968 GT, as well as aluminum-finished pedals and an aluminum ball shift knob. A larger throttle body and other revisions to the engine pushed output to 265 horsepower. Available in blue, black or, like the movie car, dark green, the Bullitt was an immediate hit and all 5,000 sold out quickly. The gorgeous wheels from the Bullitt made it onto the regular Mustang options list for 2002, but the car was otherwise unchanged. The big news came for 2003 with a reborn, radically more powerful Cobra and a new limited-edition Mach 1 model. The new Cobra uses a supercharged version of the 4.6-liter, DOHC, 32-valve V8 making a stupefying 390 horsepower. With that grunt traveling through a six-speed manual transmission, the latest Cobra is the quickest and fastest Mustang ever built by Ford.

8 Meanwhile, the new Mach 1 is almost mechanically identical to the 1998 Cobra in specification and uses a normally aspirated version of the 4.6-liter, DOHC engine now rated (again) at 305 horsepower, a solid rear axle and five-speed manual transmission. But it's the eye candy, which includes a flat black painted hood, 17-inch versions of the Magnum 500 wheels from the '60s and, most prominently, the return of the "Shaker" hood scoop, that make it such a special machine. To celebrate the Mustang's 40th birthday, Ford stuck a 40th anniversary badge on each 2004 Mustang. An optional anniversary package could also be ordered that included Crimson paint, Beige stripes, Beige wheels and monogrammed floor mats. Knowing that an all-new Mustang was set to debut for 2005, other changes were minimal at best.
