Title: Does anyone have a Marti Report for a BRONZE metallic car?
Post by: Richstang on May 15, 2018, 03:58:50 PM
I'm hoping someone might have a Bronze paint color Marti report so I can compare the statistics against the registry info.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Send me a PM if you want to keep this private.

Thanks for any help.
Rich

Burnt Amber was the Ford name, Bronze was the Shelby name - if I remember right.

I always knew it as Ford's "Burnt Amber" name until I finally bought a SAAC registry and saw it noted as "Bronze Metallic"
It will be interesting to see how the Marti Report lists the paint color for your Shelby. (No need to see the Mustang Marti report, just the Shelby will help with the numbers comparison)

Thanks Bret

One I have shows the color as Burnt Amber

Stats show 1 of 22 in the color

Thanks to Bret and Jeff for the shared information!


The Marti Report notes 22 Bronze cars built; 21 with 6A interior (smooth seats) and 1 other trim version.
The Registry notes 23 Bronze cars built; 22 with 6A interior all GT350s and 1 GT500 (5A interior per the "Simkins Project" data for its DSO)

I couldn't let this sit knowing they were one car apart

Per the registry;
DSO 2505 200F 6A shows 20 Bronze GT350 4spd (100 cars on the DSO)
DSO 2515 200F 6A shows 1 Bronze GT350 4spd (#0152; 19 cars on the DSO)
DSO 2509 211F 6A shows 1 Bronze GT350 Auto (#0175 only car on DSO)
DSO 2608 400F 5A shows 1 Bronze GT500 4spd (within the 263 car on the DSO)
There were no 5U (parchment interior) Bronze cars built per the registry.

The registry could have a VIN typo on the one extra car compared to the Marti report. But, I suspect the registry is correct and that Shelby American may have re-painted an existing car on the lot to fulfill a dealer's customer order quickly. If so, I would venture a guess it is the Bronze GT350 #0152 from DSO 2515 for numerous reasons. Now that is a Marti Report I'd like to see! Will it show up as another color per the Ford VIN?

Is anyone aware of a '67 Shelby that was definitely repainted another color by Shelby American from what was delivered by San Jose?
(Aside from the "Brochure GT350" #0176 believe to be delivered in Clearwater Aqua and repainted Lime Gold)
