"RacingJunk: This Dual Quad Intake And Carb Setup For A 1967 428 Shelby Mustang Has Never Been Out Of The Box!"

must be made out of gold...

You say that.... and sure, it is a ton of money for you or I....
But can you honestly say that you have seen a Medium riser shelby intake, bk/bj carbs, linkage, fuel log etc NOS in the box?
I have not, nor do I ever expect to again, so I say "Cool."

Definitely will need kitting along with new gaskets and borescope for spiders! LOL Even in the box, I am surprised that the choke arms aren't rusted and the throttle blades rusty. I have an original Shelby 289 8V set up, and no matter how careful I have tried to be, and kept in AC, etc., the carbs have aged and the patina has become splotchy. Joe-JDC

Everything does look suspiciously fresh, including fuel hoses. I bet it's been gone through...

I had an original ‘67 GT500 sold the whole car in 1979 for 1/2 of what he’s asking

40 years ago :P

In 1980, I bought a 1970 Shelby GT-500 Convertible SCJ/4speed for $8500.00 to go with my 1970 Shelby GT-500 Sportsroof that I bought new. Showed them in car shows along side my "69 Mach I race car. Sold the Convertible to a fellow in Cincinnati OH who spent $125,000.00 restoring it to concours condition, won three gold best of class awards, and retired it from show competition. The car was featured in Mustang Monthly after the restoration. Times are a changing! Joe-JDC

Yes, the times they are a'changing. LOL. In 1980 I had just joined the PD and my base salary was $10,000. Which, for me, was a big step up in salary from my old job, and I thought I was doing great by hitting the 10K mark.

Early 80's a guy just a couple blocks up the street sold a red 70 GT500 convert complete , plus a separate 427 SOHC engine for $3500... for both.
