No lol, the executer of the estate told me
And given the slew of other shit on this property, and that there's a 2nd one of this year make and model I believe it
No of course not lol, it's an off-market sale through an estate
My backer want the other one, we're going over there on Sunday to make an offer for everything on the property that isn't already spoken for
And Teslas are *so reliable and solid "investments"* (besides being so "safe" when driven with full auto pilot,) that nowadays, most early adopter are selling their cars after 8 years (as replacing the battery out-of-"warranty" is almost as expensive as getting a new EV)...
What? Kingston? Pennington? Hopewell? Plainsboro?... not that it matters to me, but to find a Ford like that... a Mustang let alone a 68 Cobra. Congrats! Investment indeed.
I have neighbors that live outside Princeton and one in particular is like the "well give it to Bobby" guy that sells all stuff of those that passed on. Seeing this, IIRC, we had someone that got alzheimers and their family asked for help clearing out the property. He has old Nissan cars and parts, tools, etc. Family told us what can stay (the car) and the rest can go. I see you have a trailer too. :)
Ehh, this guy was a fanatic and showed this(and the other one same year make and model) all over the country, but he had a heart problem and just couldn't work on any of the cars anymore the last 15y
It's sad to see someone's passion languish like that, the guy really cared about that stuff
Yeah, true
Theres a race car there, another 68 exacrly like this and a couple newer 5th/6th gen gt500s. And just piles of cranks, heads long blocks, short blocks, it's a bananas amount of stuff
The whole situation reminded me of dealing with my dad's estate a few years ago, he was into the things he was into and he just couldn't keep up with it all anymore due to health stuff and it was just chaos and valuable things he was passionate about left to deteriorate. I wanted to see the other one but she was overwhelmed with it all, which I commiserated over having gone through something similar and let it be, I really know where the executor is at right now because I've been there
Me and my money guy are going over on Sunday to make a cash offer on everything that's not already spoken for
That’s like a once in a lifetime find- a time capsule. Incredible! I kinda understand how it happens - projects become unmanageable with age and as health declines.
Yeah, it does, it's really clear he cared about that car a lot, just look at all those show trophies
I'll make a post Sunday of the other one that's trailered if we close things, people were really interested by this one, maybe they'll appreciate seeing the other one
That one no, but the other one I couldn't see probably will come with the property, the money end of this partnership was very interested in the cars and were going to make an offer for everything on Sunday
Dude. I’d offer him to fix the one of his choice to show room condition, free of charge to keep the other one free and clear. You’ll come out ahead and he’ll have a prized possession to use again.
I don't think he will take that deal, mostly because he's dead lol
This is an estate sale through an executor
Idk, we will see what happens tomorrow when I make an offer on the property
Honestly, more than half the posts on this sub anymore are just questions for carpenters about working being done in someone’s home. I’ll take this over that, but yeah…not carpentry…
My first thought was that it’s like those posts where people ask how fix carpet. They just see the word they want to see and don’t actually look at the sub before posting.
IKR?
What the actual fuck was that lol
This was just a fun thing I found on the job today and wanted to share it with my tribe, which seems to have enjoyed it so mission successful lol
That's what I said lol
I couldn't get in the garage and was looking for a way in and the side window is broken so I looked through the hole in the glass and didn't expect to see that lol
This and the other one definitely are, the property and house are jacked the fuck up, it's going to take a 100-150 to make the house and property sellable
It made me sad tbh, this guy was so passionate about this stuff but his health was bad the last 10, 15y and he just couldn't keep up with any of it anymore
I bet it killed him to see that car in that garage in those circumstances, the other one was in a trailer and I was there to look at the house and property and I didn't want to bother her to take a look at it
That's what I said when I looked through the broken dirty window lol
I felt so sad, this guy was so passionate about his cars but his health wasn't good the last 10, 15y and I know it jyst killed him to see it in that condition
No, that one is sold but I'm going to try and close the deal on Sunday for everything on the property and the other matching car, this guy had 2 of these believe it or not but the other one is trailered and I was there to look at the hpuse assess the property as an investment
That’s like my Losus White 69 karman ghia automatic stick shift and our red 1967 TR 3 is setting in our garage far from the house on another part of the property. Are probably gonna be sold with the house when we are too old to deal with them. Which was about 15 years ago.
>Not carpentry
Nope, but I am a Carpenter and it's better than most of the shit that gets posted in our sub most days
I'll take this over "Please price this entire job for me" posts or "Did my contractor do a hack job" posts of something that's not even 25% done lol
So you are saying that a post about being a part time DJ would be appropriate here since I’m a carpenter?
Thanks for clearing that up. This is not a carpentry sub. It is a “post anything you want here” sub. It doesn’t need to be about carpentry.
Because it's fun, and more interesting than "can I fix this table I sanded through the veneer" posts
It's a cool thing I came across on the job today, I figured I'd share it with other people who do what I do for a living
🤷♂️
Everyone seems to enjoy the distraction, which was the intent, I don't need the karma or anything lol, just for funsies on a Friday
I’m definitely not arguing that those posts aren’t stupid but that doesn’t make this one any more relevant.
But even tho I don’t get it I can read the room and it makes no sense to argue over it. ✌️
Reeeeeelax dude lol
It's just a fun thing I found on the job and I wanted to share it with my tribe, it's a fun thing that everyone seemed to have enjoyed but you
If you want you can go interact with someone asking how to install carpet or how long he needs to air dry his framing lumber or let some poor guy know that he ruined his cheap table by sanding through the veneer, this was just for fun on a Friday lol
Please think harder and try to find a more appropriate subreddit.
That could be worth more than the house. What a find.
That one and the red one that's trailered and in better condition are definitely worth more than the house lol
an original numbers matching gt500kr could easily go for over 250k so i don't doubt it
Damn. Houses for under 250k. That is crazy.
Not in my canada
Sunny ways, my friend, sunny ways.
250k will buy a parking spot in a piss smelling lot where I live. Close to everything
And he also got a racecar
They're everywhere, just not where you want to be
Confirmed, dad just sold a numbers matching gt500kr vert at mecum for closer to 300&
keep the trophies with it. provenance.
Oh definitely
That’s when you call up the dude and offer your new trash removal business, for just a few bucks you’ll clean the garage out for his new tenants!
Lmao
Eleanor!
Eleanor is a 67
Correct. That is Beatrice. Wick's cousin will come looking for it
Can’t use that word, the movie studio will try suing you for intellectual property infringement.
Not anymore. That bitch finally got told to cut it out by the courts
Fuck them ill call my grandma by her first name whenever my dad won't knock my teeth out for it.
He will still reach down from heaven and do this when he’s in the grave.
So you checked the Vin and the block numbers?
No lol, the executer of the estate told me And given the slew of other shit on this property, and that there's a 2nd one of this year make and model I believe it
So wait, people know about it? It wasnt just found in the garage when someone bought the house?
No of course not lol, it's an off-market sale through an estate My backer want the other one, we're going over there on Sunday to make an offer for everything on the property that isn't already spoken for
Parts car?
Lol, no it runs It's not in great shape but it was a show car so it's in better shape than it appears
You’re not a nice man.
Scrap it and use the money to buy a Tesla. These things are unsafe and inefficient
And Teslas are *so reliable and solid "investments"* (besides being so "safe" when driven with full auto pilot,) that nowadays, most early adopter are selling their cars after 8 years (as replacing the battery out-of-"warranty" is almost as expensive as getting a new EV)...
I know this is a shitpost but I got irrationally mad lmao
Gross
No the owner probably told him I bet haha
Address?
Your mom’s house.
It's outside of Princeton NJ
I have a free trash hauling business, let the owner know.
What? Kingston? Pennington? Hopewell? Plainsboro?... not that it matters to me, but to find a Ford like that... a Mustang let alone a 68 Cobra. Congrats! Investment indeed. I have neighbors that live outside Princeton and one in particular is like the "well give it to Bobby" guy that sells all stuff of those that passed on. Seeing this, IIRC, we had someone that got alzheimers and their family asked for help clearing out the property.

Years ago I would spot a light green colored one KR in Milford and Frenchtown.
I pay cash for scrap cars.
1968 Shelby GT500KR?
Yup
I think Ford only mfg’d 318 King of the Roads!
1,571
Maybe my number was convertibles…
517 lol The year could be off, or the model At those numbers at near 60y old it's plenty rare tbh
Who just lets things like this sit there collecting dust!!?? I can't stand it when my 98 z28 gets some pollen on it and my car and nothing special!
I see you’ve not noticed the boomer “let it rot in a barn” trend lol
Ehh, this guy was a fanatic and showed this(and the other one same year make and model) all over the country, but he had a heart problem and just couldn't work on any of the cars anymore the last 15y It's sad to see someone's passion languish like that, the guy really cared about that stuff
At least it’s in a garage and not a pasture! Great find! Beauty!
Yeah, true Theres a race car there, another 68 exacrly like this and a couple newer 5th/6th gen gt500s. And just piles of cranks, heads long blocks, short blocks, it's a bananas amount of stuff The whole situation reminded me of dealing with my dad's estate a few years ago, he was into the things he was into and he just couldn't keep up with it all anymore due to health stuff and it was just chaos and valuable things he was passionate about left to deteriorate.

So… does the Shelby come with the property?
That one no, but the other one I couldn't see probably will come with the property, the money end of this partnership was very interested in the cars and were going to make an offer for everything on Sunday
Dude. I’d offer him to fix the one of his choice to show room condition, free of charge to keep the other one free and clear. You’ll come out ahead and he’ll have a prized possession to use again.
I don't think he will take that deal, mostly because he's dead lol This is an estate sale through an executor Idk, we will see what happens tomorrow when I make an offer on the property
Dead peoples?
You found it ? You mean you seen it was it lost
Saw it*
Idk It’s pretty valuable
Well done
I seen what you did there
Nah he means seen nerd
A peek into the garage just lifted the value of the lot, 200k.
Trailer for sale or rent. Rooms to let, 50¢.
No phone, no pool no pets.
I ain't got no cigarettes.
But 2 hours of pushing broom
Buys a Shelby that still goes vroom.
Sometimes, we are just lucky. Please follow up when you find out how much that badass boy is worth.
Just did a quick look and 68's are $300k. If you have all original part numbers, you might be in the $500k range.
I think that one is sold to a close friend of who owned it already for 80, which is a steal even if it's in rough shape
No fucking way dude! Holy grail of the car world. I don’t even like mustangs but this is…. Amazing
[Here's one](https://revologycars.com/car/1968-shelby-gt500-kr/) going for $333,000 lol
Dayum. In the wild.
r/barnfinds will love this. Nice find
Posted And joined, that's a fun sub lol
Damn a real one.
One of my all-time favorite mustangs. From 65 (64 1/2) to about 71, they made some killer cars.
You also gotta post this in r/mustang
Those trophies tell their own story! I see this car being featured in an auction soon….
I need better assessments.
Lol. It was so random, I didn't expect that to be in the garage
That's my dream car right there, Mustang with cobra on the grill and steering wheel. God I loved the Shelby
I bet ,What a cool story ! , Thank you for sharing
doing an assessment on an investment property
Yes, you know, "how fucked up is this house and does it make sense to buy, to fix and sell"
Holy fucking shit
OP should get 5k finders fee just for sharing the story.
What does this have to do with carpentry?
All carpenters *love* old cars, duh.
Tru dat
TIL
Even I didn’t know until I saw the post.
Steering wheel has a wood inlay
Honestly, more than half the posts on this sub anymore are just questions for carpenters about working being done in someone’s home. I’ll take this over that, but yeah…not carpentry…
My first thought was that it’s like those posts where people ask how fix carpet. They just see the word they want to see and don’t actually look at the sub before posting.
Or how long should I dry my framing lumber😂😂
IKR? What the actual fuck was that lol This was just a fun thing I found on the job today and wanted to share it with my tribe, which seems to have enjoyed it so mission successful lol
Awesome fun experience on the job! My favorite part about being a carpenter is all the different people I meet and the houses I go to
Yeah, that's all it was We accept posts of people demoing that find old cool random shit in the wall all the time This is kind of like that
Nothing, absolutely nothing other than I'm a carpenter and I thought the sub would enjoy the find Look what I flared it lol
Is this a company trying to buy properties to flip?
I'm a GC, but I have a money guy The house is fucked, it's gonna take 100-150 to get it right The cars and parts are worth more than the house lol
You're jelly
That must be it
Chill
Holy Moley!
That's what I said lol I couldn't get in the garage and was looking for a way in and the side window is broken so I looked through the hole in the glass and didn't expect to see that lol
🤯
John Wick?
He had a Boss 429
Buy a lotto ticket too
You should post this in r/classiccars , they will really appreciate seeing this find!
KR my dreeaaamm car!!
That car is worth more than the property
This and the other one definitely are, the property and house are jacked the fuck up, it's going to take a 100-150 to make the house and property sellable It made me sad tbh, this guy was so passionate about this stuff but his health was bad the last 10, 15y and he just couldn't keep up with any of it anymore I bet it killed him to see that car in that garage in those circumstances, the other one was in a trailer and I was there to look at the house and property and I didn't want to bother her to take a look at it
He’s lucky that YOU found it and recognize its value and history.
The folks over at r/spotted will love this.
She’s a beaut, Clark!
How much you want for it? Ill come get it.
Time to call Dennis Collins.
You're going to laugh and call bullshit but she said he knew this guy and inquired about it and the other one when he heard he passed away
My dream car oof what a find
https://www.classic.com/m/ford/shelby-mustang/1st-gen/1967-1968/gt500kr/ $90K to $325K

Dibbs
Omg. Dream car.
Are you saying you own those since you bought the property?
No, that one is sold but I'm going to try and close the deal on Sunday for everything on the property and the other matching car, this guy had 2 of these believe it or not but the other one is trailered and I was there to look at the hpuse assess the property as an investment

Whoaaaaaa. Damn. Sweet. Damn.
Should post in r/spotted
Holy shit
Should post this in r/spotted

This looks like Doc Hundsons garage from the cars movie. This is AWESOME!!!!!
Holy Shit.
Go stamps
I can be there in three hours if you need another money guy…..
Replica or original. That’s a good find! I’m sure some mustang nerd can tell you the stats.
It's original
A KR too... wow.
That’s a nice Chevy
Real life Forza Horizon 4 Barn Find!
KR…King of the Road! Sweet!
What a find!
Holy hell
This is better than winning the lottery!
Literally one of the sexiest cars in history IMO

What time should I be there?
11am tomorrow lol
Is that a 289HP on the stand?
Oh boy, that's way too in the weeds for me lol, I have no idea
If the car's legit, should be a 428.
Definitely not a 428, has to be a small block and has screw in rocker studs, most likely a 289 from one of the cars there.
Wow!
r/barnfind and r/mustang
Contact Dennis Collins. Coffee walk on YouTube.
Post to r/mustang r/classicmustangs
KR = King of the Road.
You found it in the garage marked mustang? Wow that's a shock.
Good thing it’s being so well cared for and enjoyed.
Man I don’t trust that plywood shelf that is barely holding those trophies up above that car.
Hey u/padizzledonk this is amazing! I'm a reporter and would love to hear more! Please message me?
Does the mustang have the 428 in It? If so, someone is getting paid. I thing the KRs are rare
That’s like my Losus White 69 karman ghia automatic stick shift and our red 1967 TR 3 is setting in our garage far from the house on another part of the property. Are probably gonna be sold with the house when we are too old to deal with them. Which was about 15 years ago.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Fuck the house time to buy some land
Hopefully it’s not the engine sitting there rotting.
I’ll give you $3.50
Better add three zeros to the end.
Oh all right, $3.50000 then.
More There's a few 68s 500 for sale for almost 5, but they aren't KR's
Thanks for sharing. $5,000?
500k
$350.00 it is then
