This 1969 SHelby GT500 fastback (chassis 9F02R482579) is said to have been bought new by the father of the seller, and was parked in a garage in the mid 80s after water pump and heater core trouble. Those issues don’t seem major, but apparently the seller was born around that time and dad was starting up a dental practice, so the car was left un-repaired. Titles back to 1971 are included along with the original maintenance book and a Marti report. Find it here on eBay in Houston, Texas with no reserve. Special thanks to BaT reader Chris P. for this submission!

The car was sold new in Virginia and then taken to Texas. The Austin area is light on rust, so there is a good chance that the underbody and rocker panels are dry on this car. The interior shows the car to be an automatic. With the red mats and the wheel wrap removed, the interior looks like it could clean up nicely.

The car has not run in years and the carburetor and air cleaner are offered in the trunk. The seller does a reasonably good job with photos.

The seller only has a feedback score of six, but Marti report and listed chassis number help give more confidence. We hope that the paint and interior can be saved and that the engine bay and mechanicals can be sympathetically restored to make this a driver once again. It is too bad that the seller can’t keep it in the family.
