From dust to dust, people and cars come and go, but sometimes the old is reborn … and out of the dust emerges something immaculate.
A 1969 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 428 Cobra Jet is a mouthful to say but it will drop any car enthusiasts jaw. This particular garage-find was owned and perfectly preserved by a now-deceased automotive connoisseur.
Larry never washed the car for fear of scratching the paintjob or cause even the slightest bit of rust. Yahoo News estimates that the only time the car was ever washed was before delivery. Accordingly, the car is in absolute show room condition, except for a layer of dust.

WHOOOAAAAAA!
I GIVE MY LEFT,,,,
Good lord...
First the 1967 Corvette the other day, now this...
Oh man... beautiful.
...ARM...
You might want to ping.
It was only a couple of years that Shelby actually designed and built the engines for Mustang even though after he was gone, Ford continued to use his name on their Mustangs. I don’t think he built the ‘69 Mustang engine. I thought it was more like ‘67-’68.
Once the tires hit the pavement, the value drops 30%..
LOL, I think you’d be wrong. That’s a 4 speed brother.
Man, I love those NACA inlets.
Just wow.

Still, just another ford :-)
I could destroy it in less than a year.
A 45-year-old used Ford? Hunnert bucks, tops.
Auction houses are drooling over this find.
It's a nice car and all, I might be willing to give my friends left pistachio for it but I would stop short of offering my own.
Nice. Jay Leno, ping.
In 1969, I was commissioned into the U.S. Army, collected my $400 uniform allowance and went to downtown Fayetteville and put the money down for a brand new 1969 Mustang Fastback. Not all the bells and whistles that this one has, but nice nonetheless.
Two years later, I sold it a bought a Peugeot 504. My wife didn’t like that car, so I sold it and bought a Lotus +2S 130. We both like that one.
