No lower blackout on the rockers. Of course what Coralsnake mentioned as if inner doors got repainted it's a given the body did which is no big deal but not original paint like you claim. The window stop plate bolts should be cad plated and not painted body color. Why is the dash vin plate scratched up and no screen border on it? Now the inside of the trunk appears to have it's original paint and sound deadener on it which is cool. Both eye brow to bumper molding rubber are missing so the moldings and/or bumper have been off the car. No ROAD RASH you would expect to find on an original paint car.

The car built to honor Shelby\u2019s 98th Birthday plus it was Shelby\u2019s Team Race number plus it was the last one built of 98 cars! \r\n But I don\u2019t know a solid unrestored car? \r\n Like I keep saying. This car isn\u2019t even mine and I can\u2019t tolerate the negative remarks. \r\n A restoration and a preservation are 2 complete different things ! \r\n This car has 107,000 miles and was driven and maintained and enjoyed. Not raced , wrecked , junked and rebuilt like most old race cars were ! \r\n I guarantee I was the 3rd owner and that my friend that owned it since 1994 was the second owner and he bought from original owner. \r\n The seller fails to mention that that gave all paperwork from new! \r\n They have copied of the original title being transferred to my friend , the 2nd owner and from him to me the 3rd owner. \r\n Over its Life it has had a few body repairs and Engine and trans were pulled in 94 and detailed and resealed and put back in car. \r\n I obviously saw the door latch screws being orange and the door tags mask marks but I figured to leave its line since I have no idea if it left the dealership that way. \r\n As the other comments say, fiberglass parts were painted at separate facilities and different temps etc and the colors may have been off and the whole car resprayed?? \r\n Who knows as none of us were with this car while being built! \r\n As far as no orange peel , YES, in 1994 this car was professionally buffed out as it was sitting in the desert heat under a car port for a few years before the second owner bought it and detailed and cleaned off 2 years of desert dirt. \r\n If anyone would go in person and see all the paperwork and look at the ORIGINAL INTERIOR THAT HAS NEVER BEEN OUT OF THIS CAR you would know what a gem it is. Just like the Mustang Monthly article from the 90\u2019s say it is!", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1678808610, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 10946451, "authorName": "shelbymann70", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/shelbymann70/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@john006429 does it really need a repaint? It appears it doesn't? Coralsnake is right in that depending on what you want to do it can vary greatly. Say you want to shoot for SAAC div II concours gold then one thing I bet this car is missing is a correct date coded button top fuel pump. 400-600 dollars these days. I just mentioned that as a thing most would not even consider. Are you doing the work yourself or paying a top notch resto shop to do it? Like Pete said it is a great looking car to be enjoyed and driven. If you are handy many things wrong with this car can be corrected relatively cheap with some time and elbow grease. If you end up with the car many great people can help you to bring it up to a higher level on the SAAC forum. It's a 4 speed, great colors.
