He sold the car to a friend on the condition that he could buy it back at some point in the future? And he actually buys it back 35 YEARS later? 35 YEARS? What a perfect friend! To be there looking after this incredible car for all that time and then actually willing to let it go after all those years of ownership. So cool.
Yeah, I did that once with a rare watch I had and the friend traded it to someone. What's worse is he wouldn't even tell me who he traded it to so I could try to buy it back from him. So the buy it back doesn't always workout. I'm happy it worked out for him but it doesn't always workout that way. The excuse my friend gave me for trading it off was pretty lame too. He said "it was mine so I traded it".
@@Cartier_specialist I hate to admit it but I don't think there's many that keep up their end of the bargain. Sad but true.
Honestly, friendships like this are *extremely* rare not just in this age, but any age. Respect
My friend's Dad did a very similar deal with a friend and Co worker with his 69 Pontiac GTO Judge that he had bought from our downtown Defiance Ohio Pontiac dealer Shorty Derrow brand new We cruised it in the eighties and my friend was given the car by his Dad for graduation He then gave it back to his Dad later when he retired so he could enjoy it again
@@johnmoser2689 man, these are all so heart warming! Especially when it concerns very cool, very wanted, often very valuable cars. These cars must have been difficult to give back, especially so after many years of love and care. Shows just how incredibly strong some friendships are and that makes me happy (especially with so much craziness going on in the world today!)
Probably the best looking car made in the muscle car era. It looks like it’s going 100mph sitting still.
I would buy it today for $250,000 and never look back. Probably the prettiest and tasteful upgraded 67 Shelby I’ve ever seen.
I agree Austin, sitting here on Christmas Day, my armchair estimate is way closer to $300K, given history, double blower effect, and general 'COOL' factor.
I would make one for $10k!!
@@johndillian1018 Good luck finding a 67 mustang, let alone a shelby, for under $10k before even supercharging it.
Because of the him with Paxton history with Carol Shelby. I think it's worth more as it sits
Pretty sweet love how he even made the supercharger setup look vintage probably not making much boost with that flexi hose still cool as hell
Likely just a cover for that purpose...
This car is priceless , it will be an Million dollar car in the near future.
I love the in depth review and analysis of this series. This Shelby Mustang was awesome.
The first and original owner (RIP) had a good taste for cars! And the new owner did a great job to show this beauty with new muscles (while preserving the value)! What a beauty! 10:21 min Oh Boy 🤙🏻 (he waited for so long, he is NOT GOING TO SELL THIS CAR for 250k, not even for 300k or more) This car is going to be soon at 500k! (10 years ~)
The Paxtons are generally period correct so it's way different than some later-developed forced induction in aesthetic...that in conjunction with the presence of the #'s matching engine means value shouldn't be anything other than enhanced.
It’s a weird thing because I would love nothing more than to swap them for some modern medium sized turbos and a modern fuel injection/timing but I would never ruin this car by doing so.
@@negativeindustrial Even that wouldn't ruin the car so long as you built another new big block and kept BOTH current engines, the original and the twin Paxton. It's all reversible.
@@harryspeakup8452 True enough.
Great episode! I couldn't imagine how it would feel to drive that...feel that power... ripping through the gears...has to be incredible!
67 Fastback is my favorite Mustang...especially in Dearborn Green!!....
I would give you 1/2 a million for it. I completely love the car…
Shelby actually used this same setup in the car known as Little Red, it was a prototype at the time and was later bought and restored by the Jackson of Barrett Jackson
This is antiques roadshow for cool cars, love the premise and the video.
The dry “tire rubber” anecdote was funny. Well delivered.
Strange… that rubber on the quarter panel looked awfully fresh! 🤔😉😅
There are products that can make old rubber look really good on camera. In person, not so much.
That test drive was a little spicy maybe 😂
@@sublime929, my thoughts exactly!
Someone tell Paxton to bring back this Supercharger model for FEs I neeeeeeed one
That's a chevy/mopar eatin badass!! Damn that's a nice ride...🤘🏻🇺🇸
Great car and another great episode. It’s not just the appraisal, but the respect for car and owner that appeal to me. Oh, and the dry humor, several laugh out loud moments. Thank you ~ Chuck
Thanks for watching, Chuck! I’m thrilled the dry humor isn’t lost on the entire Internet 😁
What a winner!
That is what an Eleanor should have been! The color is Home Run! The 445s are really tough. They are usually a 391 truck block with the triple bracing and if you only bore the bores to 4.08, they are very thick and really good metal. The 4.25 stroker crank can take 1500 hp as can that block with cross bolted mains. That car will live in my dreams forever! Twin Paxtons with Gilmer tooth belts, that 750 is easy and can run to 6200 rpm’s as long as you want. The internals of any FE from a stock 2 V 390 can take 750 hp, he could boost it up to 1000 hp if he wants to. I would not street race him. He would embarrass any Mustang of today, and the Scat Pack cars are so heavy, I believe he would walk them going away with no sweat. Beauty, and Muscle! I have built many FEs in the 50 years I have built them, and this one is the best combination I’ve ever seen! A 427 gets a lot of glory, and the 428 in 67 was a Police Interceptor with less power than the 68 up Cobra Jet. This 445 is a wonderful example of how the FE becomes Godzilla!
Fascinating input, you know your stuff bro. 👍
My god those twin superchargers are so beautiful. The car that surrounds them is also pretty cool. :) Excellent video and makes me happy to be a Hagerty customer. My old beat up Buick is still covered by the best.
Lyons Museum next to John Wayne Airport. Beautiful aircraft and they have numerous car shows throughout the year.
Excellent car and the great owner clearly knows what he's doing. I would never sell that thing either.
This is not meant to be a criticism of the nice "appraiser" as a person or the awesome Mustang. But I am stunned that this is what passes for an appraisal video... meant to cause people to want to get a similar appraisal done by this company. So many problems & deficiencies. He says his examination would be "invasive" as he would "make the sausage". This was anything but thorough. Didn't see any sausage. We didn't see a single pic of under the vehicle. It has oem type batteries & hoses but he doesn't mention those type factors. He doesn't go around & educate the viewer on looking for signs of body repairs or whether bolts such as fender bolts had been turned or moved, welds where body panels were put together, edges of door jambs & other panels to see if they had tape lines or dry areas that indicate paintwork. He does mention a flaw in the paint on the quarter panel but just makes the incorrect assumption that the paint is original when you can zoom in on the pics & see specs of trash & fisheyes & sand marks & repair areas & overspray & poor fitting panels all over the car. The appraiser asks if it has original paint etc. That's his job to figure out if he was supposed to be evaluating the vehicle. I easily zoomed in on my phone from my couch and could see countless flaws in the paint that make it clear that this car has been painted. Still an awesome car. But this was the most useless "appraisal" ever. And then he first asks the owner what he thinks the value is. He says you're kinda foolish for bringing your car to me to get it appraised. Now he was right about that. If it were my video I'd pull it down & redo it right to actually show people what makes the difference between an average good looking old car like this one with obvious paintwork & a car that's been taken to the level that this video tries to pass this car off as. Zoom in to look at the visible damage or repair area on the A pillar at 3:12. Zoom in to see the crud around the vin# plate at 5:21. Look at 6:01 where the front fender is pretty damaged from rubbing the tires that are too big. Look at the very rough looking quarter panel welds at 6:50. Not factory. Zoom in on left quarter terrible sand marks under the paint at 10:24 & zoom in on the corner cap that joins it to see some terrible paintwork. Check out the very poor fit of the trunk lid & hood, which those are the Shelby fiberglass ones so maybe they always fitted poorly. There's a huge difference between an original paint car and one that's had body panels welded in poorly. That's all cosmetic stuff, but what about that clear knocking noise at 3:34? It could be something else, but it sure sounds like the engine knocking! No mention of that!? Just zoom in on any panel to see multiple specs & fisheyes. The factory could have left one or two, but not that many. Every panel I see has several & several places like where the valance panels meet the fenders & quarters are not fitting like a very low mileage original paint car should fit. And it may just be me but the front fenders seem to both be a shade lighter than the doors. If the car were carefully wet sanded again & buffed properly a lot of the telltale signs could be improved so much that it would take the car to another level. Being such a special & beautiful car it deserves it. So I hate pointing out negative stuff about anyone's car, but this "appraisal" just failed to do it's intended purpose. Good or bad, an appraisal of a car this special & valuable needs to be way more detailed, honest, and accurate than whatever this was.
You’re talking about a three hour video. This is what you get for thirteen minutes.
Great episode, what a fantastic car. Love the modifications, you'd think by looking under the hood that it was factory to the untrained eye.
I didnt see the dash signed by shelby that right there has to make it rare. Shelby loved to sign things Ive never seen a shelby on youtube that didnt have his signature on the glove box. What a beautiful car
Fun stuff. So many of us had cars from our younger years we wished we’d held onto. This guy got to buy his back.
I like Colins subtle humour
Beautiful piece of art well done
It`s a time capsule, love the originallity of the paint and all the rest, his wheels he made are beautiful, I love magnum 500`s on any car, a 1/4 million, incredible, I wonder what he sold it for, and the buy back cost? It`s stunning and I am a Mopar guy 68-70.
Absolutely awesome car, great job with it!.
I wonder if the rubber on the fenders was from tire rub. There wasn't much room there, sitting still. Go down the road and add some bumps you'll get tire rub.
Thank you for bringing the car No problem😎
Awesome car!! Love Shelby's, Love the Green and love the Paxtons.
British racing green 🤔
Perfecto... love that kind of modifications (Bolt on Bolt Off) and keeping what looks like factory. The Wheels are awesome Cam-Am. She looks like it wants to Road America or Laguna just slap a number on it.
Great car, great owner 👏👏👏 I would never sell this car ♥️👍
I had to read that title twice- then I genuinely smiled... 😁
Sweet ride!
Simply wow.
This is carfection ! I would rather have this than any supercar . Just my fave muscle car of all time with the extra icing of those Paxtons.
Not only was that appraiser born in 1977 he was already walking
What a beauty!
Beautiful
excelente…ahora sus videos con subtítulos en español👍👍👍👍👍 saludos desde chile.
Wow, what a beautiful car.
Great video! BUT... Really should of lowered the background music while he was test driving her... That was a tragic mistake.
These were the coolest of mustangs.
Sick Shelby
My dream car.
It is a beauty.
I love everything about that car.
Man it's so cool
What kind of watch are you wearing its nice
What happened to the 400 HP Lincoln going to the track???
Talk about a mustang fans wet dream...it's the heart of the actual super snake(twin supercharged cobra) dropped in basically Eleanor painted up like the Bullitt car hahaha 😆 😂 damn!!!
what a beauty
Beautiful....
In Australia there’s one original 1967 GT5OO Shelby cobra 🐍 Fastback price is $ 500.000.00 ( half million AUD dollars ) those cars always worth more overseas in Brazil 🇧🇷 probably worth even more !
Hot 🔥 ride. I'd like to have seen the owner wind it out a tad n run through the gears though. Such a tease not doing so .
such beauty.
I came to watch a car video but had a hard time concentrating on the Mustang because the airplane behind it (the one with the yellow tail) is a B-17 Flying Fortress that used to be owned by an air museum not far from where I live in NY. Saw that plane fly several times, have actually been in it too. Sadly the museum had to sell it to pay debts like 15 years ago, and here it turns up in an auto appraisal video...
B-25 Mitchell…single engine on each side but she does look good 👍
Nice!
All time dream car right there. If I ever win the lottery, I'd hunt one down and import it into the UK.
All the beautiful cars and planes like what's in that museum are some of the few things I will miss about California when that big 10.0 hits and half it rolls into the ocean. Because the rest of California, as of right now, well....
I was born in 1977 the appraiser dude is younger than me no way!
Beauty Car
What kind of mufflers were on it?
I see this car as a piece of art, but is it possible to ever drive it out on a road somewhere fesable ?
They should show us the 1000hp 959 that was built when the car was being tested in the states
I think that car is criminally underpriced, with inflation the way it is, cheap credit available to the wealthy, being an unrestored 67 GT500 fully documented, immaculate and having ultra desirable period correct mods that have all been sorted out by a professional to be 100% usable, street able, reliable, just the labor and expertise the man put into the car on top of the fact you probably couldn't replicate the car with all those original Shelby parts and zero labor costs for half the estimate and have it truly indistinguishable from the real deal. Then it has a great story, attached to a veteran who didn't make it home from Vietnam and a lucky kid who answered an ad for a Mustang in the pennysaver. I bet it's a hell of a lot more fun to drive and own than an all original 426 Hemi car.
Beautiful car, I wouldn't change a thing. I came in at 225K.
Ok 445ci engine still an FE I’m assuming ?
Hegerty can you please do a revelations for the BMW M5 E60
Ok I love the car and this might be a dumb question but doesn't the after market supercharger make it less value I may have heard wrong but he did say he put them on after he bought it right?....ok nvm it's a spare engine smart man get the og in a safe place no new miles if it can't run lol
Dream Car
Golly, what a wise guy! Last year pics for sure. 😁
That excess tire rubber sure is odd! 😂
@Jimmy Two Times which part was that?
@@SharkAttackSkinderDeez nuts
@@7kAndyy walked right into that one lol
I want that car!
@MichaelHagerty. sure thing
the story of this car!!!
The ultimate mustang.
nice to see a 60's shelby without the stripes
aaaaand THE unicorn has entered the building ! 😲😲
does that price include the original motor in the price ? then yes I would agree
@jbphilly1234 technically it is “deez nuts.” You’re welcome.
Ccaa RRRRR what a Ccaa RRR,im from new england and woow what,we go from not saying R’s to sounding like a pirate
That car would do a million dollar or maybe well over it.
Gone in 60 seconds go baby go. This is an Elenore with Bullitt paint.
So Im listening to this- Thud- thud- thud- thud- thud-
❤
I wonder why he didn’t use the 427 instead of the 428? Considering he went Thru all the trouble and expense. Otherwise I think it’s awesome 👏
more air he said
They actually put 427’s and 428’s underneath the hoods of 1967 Gt 500 Shelby’s. Check it out, cool info
@@gearhead682010 There's never been a documented 427 in a 67 GT500. They were simply too expensive for Ford to make them standard in a Mustang as opposed to the 428 which was in mass production at that time.
Is this Craig Conley of Paradise Wheels?
What makes this car so special is that -- in theory -- it could have been modded like this in 1967. And I bet it's an absolute track BEAST.
8:05 LOL
That start-up was as startling as a gun shot.
Those won't actually make positive boost pressure just more volume of air its basically all motor still
Craig is the best owner for this car
Very cool. 😍
Always look forward to these. Colin is the appraisal Master for sure! Love to have him do my ‘69 427/390 4sp Corvette! It’s insured through Hagerty of course! Great to deal with and cheap! Thanks for these. Really well done. Cheers Hagerty! (Awesome place to film btw! Wicked cool museum I assume!)
W O W
1977 is not that old my friend!! 😅
This is a '67.
Grandpa has a 37 ford coupe in the garage, now thats old
@@XploreAz 1:30 "1977 I wasn't even born..." that is what he said x'D. In fact the pony is 1967 😌.
