RICK HARRISON: You've got to be kidding me.
Shelby GT 350.
Gone in 60 Seconds, the movie.
Eleanor, I get it.
[rick laughs] How's it going?
Good, how you doing?
This thing is nice.
This is the real thing, not a clone, huh?
The real deal.
This is it.
'67 GT 350?
Yup.
Only 1,175 made total.
Me and my tennis racket.
It's Wimbledon white, right?
It is Wimbledon white.

Carroll Shelby was a great race car driver as well
as a great builder of cars.
And that's why Ford got involved with him to begin with.
I got it here in Las Vegas about 12 years ago.
It's a treasure to own.
What made this car famous was the movie Gone in 60
Seconds with Nicolas Cage.
They nicknamed the car Eleanor.
That's why the car is worth more value today.
The '67 is the best period.
I appreciate that.
It really is.
I mean, this was the way Carroll Shelby envisioned the car, OK?
And he worked on it, his guys worked on it.
It wasn't guys at a Ford plant slapping it together
who didn't give a [bleep].
Exactly.
This is one of the quintessential cool cars
of the 1960s.
There was right around 100 modifications
that Shelby did to a Ford Mustang to make the GT 350.
It improved its performance, its handling, and its style.
Needless to say, this is about as cool as it gets.
And I would love to have it This is clean.
This is really nice.
It looks all beautifully stock.
That's what I like to see.
PAUL: Yup, original four-speed top loader.
Got 62,000 original miles on the car.
RICK HARRISON: There's no gauges.
I'm sure the upholstery has been redone.
Just the inserts in the seats actually have been redone.
Well, that's expected to be done.
Just as long as it's done right. PAUL: Right
And this all looks right.
And he signed the glove box.
Always charge like a couple hundred bucks,
you just had to give it to his charity, right?
Yup. That's the way it went.
That's definitely a plus far as I'm concerned.
So how much are you looking to get out of it?
Well, my asking on the car is 125,000.
I've done my homework on this car.
I know the value of it.
I feel it's a fair price what I'm asking for the car.
OK.
I'm going to call up a buddy of mine
and have him come down here and help me figure out the price.
I mean, it's just it's an expensive car.
There's a million little things that raise and lower
the prices on these things. - OK.
- OK? - All right.
So let me get him down here.
He will know every single thing there
is to know about this car.
Terrific.
OK?
Nice.
There it is.
The hypo 289 man.
It looks like it's a pretty well-kept engine bay.
This is definitely a car that's been cherished,
I can tell that.
[music playing]
What really makes the difference right now is the test drive.
[laughter]
That's the only way to validate whether it's a real Shelby.
I think it's the real deal, guys.
Do you mind if we take it for a spin around the block,
make sure there's no problems, everything's running right?
Yeah, that's OK. That's fine.
RICK HARRISON: OK. So I promise I won't break it.
PAUL: OK, you promise.
[music playing]
[car starts]
The hypo 289.
Let's do this.
Be careful with my baby.
[music playing]
Back in '67, when you were driving this
car you were kind of a baller.
I mean, this was paying a lot of money to drive a Mustang.
And you can drive a Porsche for the price of this car
back then.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, she's nice man.
She's real tight.
The test drive was awesome.
It's a solid car. It felt good.
It's got really good power.
You know that car would get the goods
when you lay on the throttle.
What do you think it's worth?
Well, it's a solid car.
Runs and drives good.
So I'd see it anywhere between 100 to 110,000 bucks.
I appreciate you letting us take it for a nice, easy
meander down the road.
I appreciate what you said, and we'll talk
and we'll see how it goes.
You got a great car, man. Great car.
- OK, appreciate it. - Rick.
Thanks so much.
See you soon.
Good luck, buddy.
So what do you think?
I think it's a great car.
And I rarely do this, but I'm not going to negotiate.
I will give you 100 grand.
There's no money past 100 grand. None.
Is it feasible that you might be able to do 105?
No.
Anything past 100 is--
doesn't make a dime of sense.
All right, so that's the max you're going to go?
Not one dime more.
[music playing]
You've got a deal.
Sweet.
Let's go do some paperwork. - All right.
And we can figure out if my dad's going to yell
at me for driving for a week.
[music playing]
I figure this was a good point for me
to go ahead and let it go.
And now he's got the car, I got the money, and I'm out of here.
