Looking to buy a 1966 Shelby Gt350

[Kitto008]

Hi guys i'm new to this, but i'm thinking of buying a 1966 shelby gt350. What should i look for and what price range should i be looking at. This is my first mustang so i am really excited but need information. Im from Brisbane, is there anywhere in Queensland that sells reliable Mustangs for cheap?
Thanks

1966 Shelby GT350 and the words "for cheap" have NEVER been used in the same sentence.

I think there is one or two for sale here ,not to sure of prices .In the usa a fairly good one pulls around 120,000 to 160,000 us dollars . So here with luxury tax you should get change out of 200,000 dollars what a good deal .

Hi Kitto

In think there is a 66 hertz for sale on Car Point for around 140k but you could the contact MOCA Qld to obtain the details of a reputable place to buy a Mustang.

Its quite funny you can buy a classic shelby mustang 65/70 models here in aust as cheap  sometimes as  in the usa . We just dont have the big buyers with that sort of money . Buy the time you buy one in usa ,pay freight and that one would be in its own container pay gst and duty/tax  it adds up big time .

Hi if you give Sean at Bosskraft he can give u that information he is in NSW but they are not cheap more now that Carrol Shellby hase passed away hope this helps you

The Mustang club are having the annual concourse at Pelican Park Clontarf today.  I don't think there is anything for sale that you describe but you never know unless you ask.  Members are really easy going nice people.  Why don't you go along and look around and ask a question or two. Good luck.

.........hell yeah!........
don't rush into anything, have a good look around at various years and models etc & work out exactly what you want.......is it a real Shelby you want or a nice Tribute?

[BossKraft]

Depends whether you want a project, complete, apart, numbers matching - non numbers matching, stick or auto etc etc. Many more questions to be asked before indications of a price range can be applied.

Welcome Kitto, hope you find one.

Kitto, you should  visit the SAAC website. Get to know these cars before even thinking about buying. When you finally get one you will not be mereley an owner but a curator. This link from the SAAC website might be useful. Goodluck. http://saacforum.com/index.php?topic=9440.0

I have a feeling Kitto was maybe not expecting to see those types of $$$. No where near cheap aye!

What happened to kitto ,sorry pal for all the crap ,maybe you only meant a 66 shelby coupe clone .Even under 20 grand you will be pushing shit up hill for a nice car ,but good luck .

he hasnt been back on since his original post

[Kitto008]

wow thanks so much, ive had a look and pretty much all mustangs that even look like the fastback are pretty expensive. Can you guys offer me an alternative, like what model/year should i be looking at for that fastback look?

[66 Hertz]

there are three types of Mustang's
Coupes, Convertibles & Fastbacks/Sportsroofs
only the fastbacks look like fastbacks

the cheapest will be a nice coupe............all depends on you budget Kitto008

[GLENN 70]

 kitto008 where have you been ,a classic mustang pre 71, are not cheap .For around 20 grand you may get a ok coupe but not a fastback ,have a look around and when you see one you like ask here and get advice on that car . cheers GLENN 70 .

[mwizz]

65 or 66 fastbacks are a good place to start. They have the classic mustang fastback look.

I just imported a 66 FB from Cali. 24k all up. I estimate another 25k to restore it like a Shelby...I intend to invest 5k a year over the next 5 years to do a full rotisserie resto on mine. I could probably do it in 2.5 years, but I have other investments and ambitions etc...

if you want the next best thing get a matching numbers GT K Code in my opinion.
