Thanks for the quick replies. I'm fairly certain it's fact, not fantasy, as I remember when she purchased the car back in 1965. I was appalled at what she paid for it: $6,900, which was a lot of money for a car back then.

I'll see if I can get the CSX number from my cousin and post it. I know she gave all the info to the person she talked to, who got back to her with essentially the complete history of the car, including the dealership in California from where she purchased it. He didn't give a value to my cousin and is pushing her hard to put it in an auction that apparently a club he's in runs. I just want to make sure we don't get screwed on the price. I know that fully restored original Shelbys from the mid-sixties can easily go for the mid to high six figures. This one, of course, as a barn find, is another story.

I'll see if I can get the info and post it.

Thanks again for the replies.
