Well, they owned it for 8 hours. Was trailering it home to Houston from the auction in Dallas when they were hit from behind by an 18 wheeler.

I'm no Mustang guy, so I don't know if the Shelby tagging is legit or not. Regardless, it is a nice old car and sucks that this happened...

This makes me sad.


But looking at the silver lining, at least now they don't have to feel as bad about painting it a better color.

Damn. If it is a real Shelby I'm sure someone will fix it.

Owner says it is totalled and they are waiting on the insurance company to pay them.

It's sitting at the Kwik Kar on Washington Ave in Houston. Owner of the Kwik Kar owns the car.

I'm assuming he'll get reimbursed for the full sale price he paid just 8 hours before the incident? I sure hope so at least.

He should. Easiest measure of value is what he paid.

Hard to tell from photos, but the damage doesnt seem terrible...assuming frame and drive train are OK.

It can't be a real Shelby if it was totaled. Even if the unibody is crushed, all the metal in that car is still being stamped so anything can be repaired for far less than the $120k+ value of a Shelby.
If it was an original metal car it would be unbelievably expensive to repair. Even though re-stamped metal is available (I have a lot of it on my Fastback) it would take away a lot of the value.

Small world! I went to MM countless times during my restoration when they were in Katy. Is Russell still around?

Can they take everything out and put into a repro/other body? Might consider taking a salvage claim instead of full.

As said earlier, it's a coupe so definitely not a real Shelby.

Russell moved Mustang Mania to Round Mountain, Tx.

The resident Vintage Mustang Expert has spoken!

I payed attention to the details this time and noticed a lot of weird things - definitely not a Shelby, and not even sure what year it is... 68 hood, 67 door handles, 68 dash trim... Also, A/C vents but no compressor or lines???

Sure, it's very common. Especially with a badass engine like the 427.
