This car was owned by a Californian collector for some 30 years and six years ago he decided to embark on a full $200,000 restoration; sadly upon nearing the completion he passed away. The vendor recently completed the restoration upon its arrival in the UK, which included a new hood this year and more than £10,000 of bills from Speed Shop and Mustang Maniac are included. It is believed that only 194 Shelbys from 1969 exist and this is one of those few produced before Shelby left Ford. There’s also a Marti Report in the history file. Estimate: £90-£110,000.
