When this Shelby left the Metuchen plant on 5/24/1968 it was Highland Green. It was changed to Acapulco Blue when it was painstakingly and meticulously restored.

HISTORY:

Janet Weaver from Malvern, PA. inherited this Shelby from her Father when he passed away in the 1970's. Her Dad had purchased this car new in Horsham, PA. in 1968.

In 1978 Warren Perkins of Downington, PA. bought this Shelby from Janet Weaver and Warren owned it until 1989.

Warren sold it to Rick D'Antonio of West Chester,PA. 1989 and Rick then sold the car to Mark Theisen in 1992.

Mark brought the car to Florida and had it completely restored over a two year period with Classic Mustangs & Shelbys in Orlando, Florida.

This is the finest and most optioned 1968 Shelby GT350 I have ever seen, owned or driven.

It is fully documented by not only the Marti report but is listed in the Shelby World Registry (1997 edition) on Page 971 and page 896.

I have taken every conceivable photo in an effort to show how absolutely amazing this Shelby is...but unless you see this car in person and drive it...it's hard to appreciate how nice it really is...so we are suggesting and urging you to either come in person or to hire an expert Shelby inspector to inspect this car for you prior to placing a bid or purchasing this car.

I can guarantee you that this is a NO disappointment, very, very rare piece of Shelby history.

In the coming months and years it can only increase in value!

It really is a Platinum investment grade A Shelby. They don't exist or come any better than this!

The mileage is correct . In 2001 it had 49,430 miles. It's last owner, Mark Theisen, sold it to us with 49,989. This Shelby has only been driven a few hundred miles since the total restoration.

Please look at the receipts for the work done by Classic Mustangs & Shelbys in Orlando, Florida. The restoration began in 1993 and was completed sometime in 1994.

Since that time it has been used as a "show Car" which most refer to as a "Trailer Queen"

If you are interested, please call me and I'll stand next to the car and go over everything with you in great detail...there will be NO surprises...or better yet...come and inspect it yourself. Please...do not e-mail us and ask "What is your reserve" just call us and we can discuss money...the car...a trade...or whatever is on your mind.

We are all car guys that are very easy to speak with...no Prima Donnas at this end...just car lovers that do this for the fun and passion of loving our hobby...for the past 48 years!

We really do love the cars...a lot more than the $.

How you can protect yourself when buying a car on the Internet? If you follow these steps….you won’t be a victim of a scam! June 21, 2007 by carsofyesterday 1.Know who your dealing with & who your sending money to! A. Ask the seller for the physical address where the vehicle is being stored. Find out when you or your inspector can come and inspect the car…Get the physical address of where the car is located...if they are reluctant to let you look at the car prior to buying it…this is a red flag. B. Ask the seller for a faxed copy of the FRONT & BACK of the vehicle’s title. Check the vin number against the vin listed in the Ebay auction. See if he or she actually owns the vehicle you want to possibly purchase...or if it is someone elses car they are brokering. C. Ask the seller for ALL of their phone contact numbers. If they are reluctant or only will give you a cell phone number, this could be a red flag. If they refuse to give you their home telephone...be careful! If they are asking for money, ask the seller for the name & address of where they banks and the name of an officer at that bank that you can call. Always check the number you receive against the number information has for that bank. E. WARNING! Never send money unless your sure who is on the receiving end… The safest way is thru a Bank wire transfer but ONLY after your bank has spoken directly with an officer of the bank your sending money to. It’s a good idea to find out how long the seller has been at that bank and if there have ever been any complaints against this individual or company. F. Remember…if it sounds too good to be true…it probably is! The following is an actual incident that happened recently to an Ebay bidder…..They noticed a gorgeous vintage convertible that we were running in an auction on Ebay with a posted “Buy It Now” price of $32,888. A short time later, they saw an auction showing the same car & same pictures with a “Buy It Now” price of $7000. They hit the “Buy It Now” price of $7000 thinking they had just got the deal of a lifetime! Remember…”if’s it sounds too good to be true…it is!” They wired the money to a bank in Croatia $7000 as instructed…and that was the end to their $7000! If they had taken the effort to get a copy of the title, if they would have gotten a physical address of where the car was, if they would have had the seller checked out at this bank, if they would have gotten some verifiable phone numbers…they wouldn’t have been scammed out of their hard earned $7000. This is not a unique story…it happens many times EVERY day all over the world. 99% of the sellers & buyers on Ebay are honest, wonderful people…but it is that 1% of the “Rotten Apples” that you must be on the look out for! We are proud of our reputation…We have been selling great cars on Ebay since 2000 and are a power seller ranked in the top 50 sellers in the world on ebaymotors! Every single buyer who has ever purchased a car from us received the vehicle and the free & clear title…so please…be careful and know who you are sending money to! We have shipped fabulous vintage cars to more than 30 countries around the globe. Thanks...be cautious.... and best of luck! If you have ANY questions…call us at 1-800-930-4002 if your in the U.S. or if outside the U.S. call us at 954-895-7940. Our E-mail address is luvdg@aol.com

Once you speak with us...you'll agree...we are sincere and dedicated to this eternal love affair with the automobile...in our collection is the world's first car...a 1886 Benz (not for sale)

The reserve is set at a fair number...if you wish to discuss the amount...please don't write and ask "What is the reserve price"

Instead...please call us at 1-800-930-4002 (within the U.S.) or at 954-895-7940 if your outside the U.S. Anytime between 10:00am EST and 7:00pm EST would be great. As with all of our fine cars...we invite your and urge your person inspection...even better come by yourself to "car Heaven" in Ft. Lauderdale,FL. Our E-mail is luvdg@aol.com

We can be reached at 1-800-930-4002 or outside the U.S. at 954-895-7940. We welcome your questions and in person scrutiny and inspection.

We are NOT a broker and hold a vaild Florida Dealer's license in good standing.. We own all the vehicles we offer for sale on EBay. In a rare instance, if we do not own an offered vehicle, we will state so in our auction copy.

This vehicle is being sold without a warranty, unless it is a relatively new vehicle which in that case is covvered by any and all remaining factory warranty.; If the factory warranty is expired,it is sold AS IS and WHERE IS. The description above is for informational and narrative purposes only. Information contain regarding serial numbers, engine numbers, trim numbers and other codes with reference to the authenticity of any vehicle offered is guaranteed to be the same as contain within a vehicle's ID plate or trim plate or any other numbers as stamped into a vehicles engine block, cylinder heads, transmission, differential or other mechanical components which make up the vehicle.The seller has made a diligent effort to accurately describe this vehicle but does not expressly or implicitly guarantee the accuracy of the above description. Bidders and prospective purchasers are urged and cautioned to conduct their own due diligence, including a physical inspection in person or through a qualified third party inspector or appraiser, before contemplating a purchase or making a bid on this vehicle.In fact, we would welcome and encourage such an inspection, and will make every effort to make the above described vehicle available at a time convenient to the perspective purchaser or their agents.

We do NOT charge any type of fees....NONE! We reserve the right to notify bidders and cancel this auction. We shall not be held liable for any such cancellation and/or closure. We reserve the right to cancel bids from those with excessive negative feedback. Placing your bid on this auction constitutes your agreement and acceptance of these terms and conditions. We have received many e-mails and phone calls over the past several years wondering why we are running private auctions, which conceal the identities of our bidders to the general public. The answer is simple. We become aware that unscrupulous individuals have been attempting to save auction fees by soliciting other sellers' bidders via unwanted, and sometimes offensive, emails. In order to protect our customers from this illegal and annoying practice, as well as to protect our auctions from such interference, we have elected to use eBay's Private Auction feature, which was designed to alleviate this exact problem.

A little about Cars From Yesterday.......

We have been collecting, buying, selling and trading vintage cars since 1960.

With a collection of just over 100 cars, the Cars From Yesterday Auto Museum was opened in 1993. Today we have a total of 421 great cars in the Museum. These cars are NOT offered for sale.

Some of our business policies.

We try very hard to describe every car honestly and correctly. We openly encourage every potential bidder or buyer to have the car of your choice inspected prior to winning an auction or to using the buy it now feature.

We are located just 10 minutes from the Ft. Lauderdale International Airport and would be happy to pick you up whenever possible.

If you have a private plane, we are only 1 minute from the Executive Jet Port in Ft. Lauderdale....we keep our plane there. We will pick you up in our Golf cart. We're that close!

Any new car or truck we offer, is covered by the remainder of any existing factory warranty. There is no charge from any manufacturer to continue the warranty when a vehicle is sold to another party when the warranty has not expired.

There are no warranties on any Vintage cars or cars when the manufacturer's warranty has expired.

If 10 different people look at a vintage car you can bet you'll get 10 different descriptions. I have purchased many, many cars over the Internet and off of EBay and for the most part have been pleased. Probably because of the fact I am a true car collector and realize there is no such thing as PERFECT!

If you buy a car from Cars Of Yesterday and are not happy with something, please call us and let us know. If we feel it's our fault, we are only too happy to make an adjustment on the price...even though the vehicle has already been paid for. This is not because of any guarantee or warranty...because there are none. It would be strictly a goodwill gesture on our part. We really like everyone to be happy & pleased.

If you opt to leave a Negative Feedback first without contacting us initially to try and resolve any problem, most likely we will not be able to assist you.

We believe a SALE is only a one time occurrence but a "CUSTOMER" is for life! We love to make everyone a CUSTOMER!

I have found, however, that no matter how hard one tries, it is impossible to please everyone! Unfortunately some individuals are happy when they are unhappy...fortunately those individuals are few and far between.

Over the 6 years we have been selling fantastic late model Luxury cars and Gorgeous vintage cars over Ebay, we have been a subscriber to Square Trade. We are proud to be a member in good standing. If a problem arises and we cannot work it out to our mutual satisfaction, then we can arbitrate the problem through Square Trade.

If you have any questions on any of our polices, please e-mail them to us at luvdg@aol.com

We charge NO fees of any type. NONE!

We will help arrange to have your vehicle picked up on a bonded, licensed and insured carrier.
