Chassis #8T02S11360700101, Sunlit Gold with white over black vinyl. 428cid, Conelec throttle body fuel injection, Ram Air fiberglass air duct, automatic, limited slip axle, air conditioning, 5-spoke alloy wheels, fog lights, woodgrain steering wheel, power brakes, AM radio.

Evolution: Special pre-production test car with numerous special features, most importantly the fuel injection system. Restored to concours condition and has the awards to prove it.

Bottom Line: A bit of Shelby development history albeit down a dead-end diversion with Conelec throttle body fuel injection. This result is at least double the value of a standard GT500 Fastback, a significant but not unrealistic premium for its history and unique features.
