Unrestored 1969 Shelby GT500 one of many classic barn finds going to auction - Autoblog (blog)

this is the holy grail of muscle cars. and i don't really like muscle cars, but this car makes me very emotional. i want it really, really bad. i've never wanted an american car as much as i want this. I was a proud owner of a '69 Mach 1, 'Candy Apple Red, with the 351 cu. in. Cleveland engine, 4 on the floor. And, now that I'm almost 70 years old, and though I've had many other cars, I've got to say, my '69 Mach 1 is still my favorite car, and probably one of the best looking American cars ever.
