ONE Of TWO Prototype Ford Mustang Shelby GT500s FINALLY Found After YEARS Of Searching...Worth Millions?

Seek and ye shall find. Eventually.

A legendary Ford Mustang that many thought was destroyed 50 years ago has been discovered rotting away in a Texas field. And it could be worth millions.

Affectionately called Little Red, the 1967 model was an experimental car that Ford loaned to Carrol Shelby to use as a test bed for the development of performance parts. Little Red and a later car, unofficially known as the Green Hornet, were the only two Shelby GT 500 notchback coupes of their era, each sporting a snazzy vinyl roof.

Restoration should be easy, relatively speaking. This isn't a barnyard Iso Grifo project.

"Supercharged 428" caught my eye though.

@MD What good is it without the engine? Sure you could put a new crate motor or find a period motor but it won't be a numbers matching car.

I wonder which collection museum that car is going to go to.

The better question is which restorer will this car be going to.

Definitely a cool story. I hope they post regular updates on the restoration process, or better yet have a few webcams.
