Just curious what others think about this...I did a quick scan of the sold cars (so far, thru Friday) and my read is tat values for the older vintage shelby mustangs has softened considerably comared to a year or two ago....wondering if all the new offerings and hype asociated with the GT, Hertz cars, GT500, KR, SS, etc. (and now you can even get a "restomod" terlingua mustang with a Shelby VIN and in the registry??) is hurting values of the classic shelbys.

We'll know more by late afternoon on Sunday. My guess is the higher valued Shelby's will appear on Saturday afternoon and run through the evening.

Good question
It may widen the margin on the restos and recreations but I don't think it will hurt the originals IMO
The economy may play a part \also if you look at the amount of rare Shelby's vs the low number of other "Rare" muscle cars, the Shelby's are quite plentiful, I think that may drive the valu down a bit

Due to the worsened economy you will see that the value of ALL cars will be substantially lower this year compared to last year. I don't believe the new Shelbys will have any negative effect on the value of the older ones.IMHO

After watching every single hour so far this week, the MOPARs & HEMIs have lost value & even the SPEED TV folks made comments that the FORD MUSCLE CARS are holding up or even going up more in value as to years past. Remember the Best & Rarest cars are saved for Friday & Saturday when they (BJ) know the BIG Money shows up play

I have video-taped the last five years of B.J. and kept highlite tapes from all years. It is interesting to go back and compare. I did notice a California Special that sold for $40,000 this year sold for $49,000 a couple years ago. It was the very same car, it looked like a light green car with Shelby 10-spokes on it.

With all the great new Shelby's offered, why buy an old one if you plan on driving (racing) it?

Interesting note...I may be mistaken but I think the highest $$ auctioned car from the weekend was a '67 Shelby GT500 Fastback. $190,000
