A Shelby question
I came across one for sale, and I am not that familiar with the Shelby's. It's a GT-350KR that has sat outside for awhile, paint/interior is shot and it hasn't run for a few years.
Supposedly the reason it was parked is because the rear diff went out of it. It looks like it has had some hard miles on it. The guy is wanting 6k for it, I dunno.

Alan, there were no GT 350 KR cars. The KR cars were 68 only and all had a FE engine, 427 or 8. These cars can be worth some serious money but you can also spend a fortune on them restoring them. Nogo73, neither of your statements are true. All Shelbys were v-8s and some were built in Detroit. The early ones were built in Los Angeles. That information is just a mouse click away, if you'll look for it.

66 ranger you are correct. My Shelby is titled as a Ford 2Dr. If you think this helps out on insurance just wait till the insurance co has to pay out on a Mustang that's worth that much. Better get collector car insurance and not hide anything. As the same with a Saleen Mustang is also titled as a Mustang GT. Be careful as there is a big difference between the two.

Well you can title it as Ford Mustang and the insurance will be a lot less but then that means if you get in an accident you will recieve less from the insurance company. If you have the money and the time to do all the restoration and what not go with the insurance as a Saleen. You will be paying more but if you plan to sell it eventually, it is well worth all the money you put into it.

A Shelby question
I stand corrected. There were Shelby's made on cars of another manufacturer. I am a true blue Ford fan so I never considered the other 'Shelby' cars as being on the same plane as the Shelbys manufactured using a Ford car (or an AC with a Ford motor). My crystal ball doesn't foretell the Chrysler based cars as ever having the collector interest as the Mustang based car. I may be wrong and am big enough to admit it if I am so proven.
As to the insurance, you are right about the insurance company not wanting to pay to fix a Shelby when it was insured as a Mustang. All I carry on my car(s) is liability. I'm not worried about my ability to keep from running into something, I am concerned about getting sued. It's been my experience that the insurance company is going to do it's dead level best to screw the insured, no matter what the circumstances. They wouldn't pay what it costs to rebuild a Shelby even if they new they were selling insurance on one. I try to drive carefully.

The Shelby would be titled as a Ford. It goes by the VIN. Shelby also put a serial number on each car produced to prove authenticity. CSX I believe is the first three characters on a Shelby's ID #. However, a word of caution, when around Shelby owners, don't refer to the cars as Ford Mustangs, but as Shelby Mustangs.
