I have no idea why this story would come to my page, being a women who isn’t in to cars, although my husband is an auto painter, neither of us care for it as a hobby. That was so much fun to watch, the history and knowledge of it all. The man who assessed it really knows his stuff! The men who sold it were so nice and I wish you all the luck with your dream car! I hope I get to see it when it’s all done! I do appreciate a great paint job along with all the other work !

I was all of 16 years old in 1982 when I saw a Shelby Cobra sitting in a barn in Indiana. We were painting the barn and saw something covered with some blankets to protect it from the pigeon shit. As a curious kid, I went in and pulled back the cover......and I fell in love. The owners had parked a disk, plow and planter around it to keep it there. Always wonder what became of it.

I feel really lucky to have grown up with a favorite uncle who had a 68 gt350 from the time i was born. Not too many people ever even get to ride in a Shelby and i cruised around in one every summer until about 1997. He finally sold his mint candy red 68 Shelby and at the time $35k was a lot, but Gone in 60 seconds come out not long after and the prices of them went thru the roof because of Eleanor. Plus it was originally a 1 of 6 Raven black w/ black luxury seats car, so it would be so valuable today, it always drove perfectly.

I had 3 jobs to buy it and rebuild the engine, transmission and rear end... Lost a couple of girlfriends because I spent more time and money on the car rather than on the ladies...!!!! I love these old cars... My dad bought a Ford Fairlane for $400 in the late 70's , wrecked it and sold it for $400.. that Ford Fairlane was supposed to be my car when I got my driver's license...

I am from Nebraska and when I was young there were barn finds all across the state and the 60's muscle cars were ticket some had been wrecked, some had been put in storage from family members and some were it was my son's car he was killed in Vietnam and so on but once the the old became collectibles and drove the price up people flocked to Nebraska to scoop up the treasures. Not many left there anymore.

I have no idea why this story would come to my page, being a women who isn’t in to cars, although my husband is an auto painter, neither of us care for it as a hobby. That was so much fun to watch, the history and knowledge of it all. The man who assessed it really knows his stuff! The men who sold it were so nice and I wish you all the luck with your dream car! I hope I get to see it when it’s all done! I do appreciate a great paint job along with all the other work !
Well thank you so much for the comment. The restoration is going along swiftly and I am taking video of the steps with help from the restorer. I hope you will watch that too. I hope to have up part one in 2-3 weeks.
That's alright man. That's alright. Congratulations on your dream purchase. Please keep us in the loop on how it's progressing! I, for one, would love a whole new series of videos documenting the restoration. Congrats again, and big thanks to all your buddies for helping it all fall in place. 👍

Great find Jerry, congratulations!! You’re on your way now! Boy I wish I knew you well enough to be able to keep up on how the restoration process is going for you.

So, what was the selling price?
Nebraska!! I was recently handed down a 68 mustang that was won on a $1 raffle in 1968. These videos fuel my desire to get it restored. It's gotten me into classic cars more than I could have imagined. Nice barn find!
Must have been a hot car to be a raffle winner. What was this car?
@@thewriter2549 It's a Red 68 Mustang Coupe with a 289 2v & 3 speed manual and a radio delete plate. I've been told they raffled off 2-3 cars and this was the cheaper raffle car. My wife's grandpa got the call that he won, left home to go pick it up. They were so excited to get it home they ended up dropping it off the trailer and bent the rear bumper, the dent is still there.
Prices right can't go bad lucky monkey
"no wind, no draft, i still don't know what made that door slam" 😂🤣😆😂🤣😆
The spirit of the ‘Stang?
My dad bought '67 GT350 Fastback, with the 390- 4 on the floor, brand new back in '67. He said it was really too much car for the road back then. He said Alabama State Troopers wouldn't even try. I have ONE PHOTO of that car.
what he had was a S CODE mustang! GT350 never had a 390 in them. S CODE is the famous Bullit car I had one in 69
The GT 350 was a 289/302. They were never 390 cars.
I was all of 16 years old in 1982 when I saw a Shelby Cobra sitting in a barn in Indiana. We were painting the barn and saw something covered with some blankets to protect it from the pigeon shit. As a curious kid, I went in and pulled back the cover......and I fell in love. The owners had parked a disk, plow and planter around it to keep it there. Always wonder what became of it.
Is this the car that I wrote about "Cobra in a Barn" in my Rare Finds column in Hot Rod Mustang?
I remember lusting after these cars a a youngster. They are so ultra cool and beautiful, especially the red ones. I can't wait to see it when you have finished the restoration. I am happy you found the car you have always wanted.
I would also like to have an early Porsche Speedster, about 1955.
Jerry-good to see another Shelby Mustang saved from just sitting in a barn. I know it will take awhile to "do it right", but please keep us posted on your progress on bringing this old girl back to life!
I will for sure. Thanks.
Congratulations! What a find. My son is struggling to finish restoring a1969 GT 500 Shelby that his dad bought and had the car torn down to frame. He got sick with a rare cancer from Agent Orange and died in 2016. My son has been working on it ever since .
Good luck with that. Let us know how that goes and when you get it done.
Very sharp car
Sorry to hear that. Assume he was in Vietnam? If so, do you know when and what area?

Noticing that the Fenders were replaced without obvious damage mean that the famous Midwest road salt must have been at work. Good luck with the restoration. Keep a video journal of the restoration such as Jo Daddy's Garage does with his restorations. It would be a blast to see this project come together.
I feel really lucky to have grown up with a favorite uncle who had a 68 gt350 from the time i was born. Not too many people ever even get to ride in a Shelby and i cruised around in one every summer until about 1997. He finally sold his mint candy red 68 Shelby and at the time $35k was a lot, but Gone in 60 seconds come out not long after and the prices of them went thru the roof because of Eleanor. Plus it was originally a 1 of 6 Raven black w/ black luxury seats car, so it would be so valuable today, it always drove perfectly.
Too bad he sold it. Whats it worth today a couple hundred k.
@@wolley2012 easy
I remember buying that same exact car when I got back from Vietnam.. Shelby GT500. Super Shake with a 428 Cobra motor..Got the 4-speed. I believe it was close to 360 HP.. I went right to the dealership I believe I paid $8,000 for her..Brand new..Big Bucks for 1967..I had the Need for Speed at the time that was the car to get. That car was definitely a beast.. beautiful collection of Mustangs you have there I know the convertible is very rare that was also expensive when it first came out..👉🏻👍
Great memories for you! I’m one of the many who has never been in a Shelby Mustang. I did get a memorable ride in a 427 Cobra though. I couldn’t peel the $20 off the windshield until he let off. It was worth it! lol best wishes y’all
Great barn find here!

Jeff is a walking encyclopedia of Shelby's! After all these years, people are still finding these hidden jewels! Back in the early 70's, there was a '65 or '66 Shelby sitting in a backyard in Seymour, IN. I don't know whatever happened to it.

Men doing what they love. We should all be so lucky!
The amount of knowledge this man has on this car is so incredible. Talk about someone who's devoted to such a beautiful creation.
Congrats Jerry. I REALLY enjoyed watching the parts being uncovered. I feel that since it's not numbers matching, it can be driven a lot more and enjoyed. Jim Wix probably has the original engine. Lol
I agree completely! But then, I would probably drive an original numbers car and to heck with worrying about the price.
Congrats Jerry! I think that Shelby has been waiting 41 years for you to come get it! That will be one sharp car back in stock colors! I enjoyed the video Buddy👍
Thanks, kind of feels that way and to think it was still there after all those years. I am still stunned so much that when I see the car in Jason's shop I can hardly believe it is mine. I do need a 428 Police Interceptor engine and a set of those dual fours and the oval air cleaner assembly.

As a young man, I owned a 1976 Chevrolet NOVA SS with a small block 400... It was white with red racing stripes and red interior... I miss that car and I regret selling it... I had 3 jobs to buy it and rebuild the engine, transmission and rear end... Lost a couple of girlfriends because I spent more time and money on the car rather than on the ladies...!!!! I love these old cars... My dad bought a Ford Fairlane for $400 in the late 70's , wrecked it and sold it for $400.. that Ford Fairlane was supposed to be my car when I got my driver's license... Unfortunately I never got it... I remember it looked similar to a Mach 1 and that's why I loved that Ford Fairlane...
I love these kinds of restoration videos, since I have owned many of the 60's classic cars when they were brand new with that new car smell. Unlike today, back then they were all very affordable when brand new.
Congratulations on getting the Unicorn!!! Looking forward to following along the journey of getting it back on the streets! Very cool stuff Jerry. It's great to have friends that share an incredible passion for these cars - and even better when they help do things like this!

I had a 64&1/2 - 65 289 with 2 4 barrels & 4 speed FastBack (Black/White interior) with the round Enameled Cobra Snake in each Front Fender. I owned it From Sept '68 to 1978-9. Sold it to a 15 year old boy who wanted to restore it, For $100. 2 years ago I stopped where I had Delivered the Mustang, but the People didn't live there anymore. The gentleman that now owned the house in Sussex WI. mentioned he had Bought it 7 years ago and when he first looked at the house he remembered seeing an Old Black Mustang in a Lean To next to the Garage. Didn't pay any attention if it was restored or not.
Considering fastbacks didn't come out til 65, a 64 1/2 is rare.

So cool. I’m glad to see this car go to someone who really wanted it. I hope it comes back and is loved and enjoyed.
Cobra love at its finest Jerry word of advice has long as you are working on the car try to do whatever one thing every 3 or 4 days so the build won't get stalled out one friend of mine is almost done with the Camaro and I sold another friend to Trans Am about 5 years ago and he hasn't done anything with it it's sitting outside in his yard right now stalled out I told my buddy with the Camaro just every few days to one thing and you could sleep good at night great story I have a 93 Cobra I bought brand new with 93 36,000 MI
Congrats on your find! Perfect starting point to build the car the way you want and have something you can get out and drive and not have to worry about everything being factory correct, numbers matching, low mileage, etc.
Considering the low mileage and completeness of the car and parts, it would be a shame not to bring it back to stock. It is a Shelby so drive it like ya stole it and then fix it as needed. They were meant to be driven and enjoyed; seem reasonable to me!
Great to see another one saved! Congrats on the car Jerry! Please keep us updated on the restoration progress.
