Mr. Vader, your car has arrived......

Made it home to California safe and sound. Will have to wait for a sunny day to take this "Beast" out to the coast. Spin out the tires on my damp driveway.

Again, congrats. I need your help in verifying something. Does your (lack of) stereo look like this?

Can you snap a photo of your chassis plate?

 

[ltcolton]

Attached are the photos requested.

Tom does that mean you did not get the last Base R since your chassis number is lower than 394?

 

[Tomster]

That appears to be correct. Itcolton, it appears my source is incorrect and you have the last base R. You have a piece of automotive history. I ask that you please take good care of her.

Tom can you unwind your deal since you have not taken delivery?

Why would I want to do that?

I still have 1 of 135. I also have HR871 (electronics). I am getting a 500 carbon track package.

I'm happy for the guy, I hope he understands what he has. Congrats.

Since you already have 2 Rs and I thought you bought it because it was the last base R but obviously it is still a rare beast!

I bought it for the rarity of being a base R. I was told during the process that it was the last. Bonus.

What's the point of two electronics R's? I have said it before, I regret not doing this sooner.

Will pass this along. I am familiar with the 69'70' mustangs & formost the70' Boss 302 as having restored one. During that time period using the VIN #'s didn't really have a bearing on first/last production. Reaching back several years here with memory, A car was serialized # & then a buck # & for whatever reason( that I can't recall at the moment) did not hold true as they came down the line. That was 50 years ago. I have no clue how Fords system would work with todays technology. Guess this is a"for what's it worth" statement.

I plan to look into that, but I was told that the chassis number is designated as they leave the line. That is not a perfect science, because my source had explained to me that he saw cars leave the line without a chassis designation (that was assigned after the fact). So the only real way to put this one to bed is by going through ford performance.

A lot of people probably think "who cares", but for such a small batch, the first and last are historically significant. I can't fathom this car going through the engine swap process.....

It doesn't change my course and I feel fortunate to be part of the base R club.

Again, congrats to ltcolton.

I have owned several of these cars. To give a value is not really possible. They vary too widely and depend on condition, color and options. As of lately, they seem to bottom out in the high 40's and can reach 90. The problem is prices are pretty dynamic on the high side. May want to give a bit more information

1Bad_ShelbyR, Just found your post. Would definitely agree with svttim. The car you speak of certainly has A LOT going for it! If it were to be a Drag pak car that should add some $$ to it. Along with shaker, deluxe interior, slats, Magnum 500's. Just a lot to weigh on determining a buyer/seller price. But remember this, a car as you describe doesn't show up that often. Hope it works out for you whatever you decide.

If you land it I'm sure many of us here would enjoy a picture or two. Cheers! Rex

Ok guys ....... here’s the complete story on how this all started

I wasn’t even in the market for another Ford Mustang, heck my ShelbyR (JR257) only has

about 250 miles on her since taking delivery about the same time as Muligan, this past Spring

2018.

I was actually looking for a a 1970 Challenger R/T, “V” code (440 six pack) with a Dana rear

and 4 Speed shifted by Chrysler’s famous “Pistol Grip Shifter “

For whatever reason, I decided to see what 1969-1970 Mustangs were out on the current market for sale.

As soon as I saw this one,

something clicked, actually it’s what this 1970 Boss 302, does not have, that’s got me really

wanting this Boss, almost like Muligan, Tomster and other forum members wanting a “base”

ShelbyGt 350R

She has a Flat hood
No Shaker
No rear window louvers
No drag pack
No console

Medium Blue
Black interior

I’m driving to see her early tomorrow morning and hope to come to a satisfactory agreement for both sides.

Hopefully,

I can watch the Super Bowl tomorrow night knowing that the Boss will coming home

soon !!!

As soon as I can, I’ll upload some pics for you guys to enjoy

Cheers

and enjoy the Game tomorrow night !!!
