It's a true survivor and barn find. Harold Brewer, a collector and car dealer out of Ohio, purchased the car from the original owner in the late '60s when this Shelby was still fairly new. He enjoyed it for a few years. He sold it in '74 only to get it back shortly thereafter. Harold passed away suddenly in 1975. His widow Betty stored the car in an enclosed shop/garage on their property. It would remain nearly frozen in time for four decades with less than 3k miles added to the odometer during that time. In fact, most of Betty's family didn't know the car existed, and her nephew only discovered the GT500 when Betty had him go through the storage on her property. Once she passed, the nephew put the GT500 up for sale, and the person who came knocking was Richard Rawlings of Fast and Loud. So if this Shelby coupe looks familiar, it's because this barn find is also a TV star... (Full write up with specs and high definition photos posted on our website!)
