just kidding,
someone sent us this photo of what appears to be a crushed mustang.
possibly a shelby, with todays technology and knowledge, jimmys shelby will be the next barn find...
Tony,
I'm pretty sure that's the make, model and color car that Jimmy Hoffa was last seen driving.
Well, if you can pry out the VIN plate.......
How long do you believe it will be until we start seeing clones of these all over the place?
At least the dash had Carol's signature.
I do see a pattern here, the one i mentioned and the one you mentioned have the same name JIMMY. both are dead...could be the work of a cereal killer...

i believe in the near future, taking what was said about steve austin the six million dollar man episodes;
We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better, than he was. Better, stronger, faster.
just replace him or he with...shelby...
then someone will have the six million dollar (jimmys) shelby...

You dont have to make a clone, someones already done it. All the blue/saddle GT500 convertibles are still on the road. Im pretty confident this cube is a real car, so that means someone has a secret

remember jims car was a hardtop

The cube is a 1968 GT500 convertible. Morrisons car was a 1967.

Is there a story?
Morrison's car sleeps out there somewhere I suspect. It still might surface. At a minimum its molecules are somewhere on this planet occupying another state of being.

That cube (Shelby) is in Mustangs Unlimited's showroom in Connecticut. I've I've looked at it a few times. I'm not sure where they got it from.
QuoteIs there a story?
See post #7
The cube has been around for quite a while and featured in a few magazines.
Granted the color combination of Morrison's car is a beautiful one. Parchment and Blue Mist Poly but the car was treated like he treated life. Cheap and disposible.
He isn't a man of honor or decency. Just another druggie who wasted everything given to him.

thank god for pictures

On a day like today December 8, 1943 Jim was born.
Happy birthday Jimmy !
Didn't someone recently spot Jim in his Shelby Gt500 picking up Elvis outside of a Tennesee Walmart, where Elvis had run in for some bread and peanut butter? I thought that was a press release somewhere. ;)

Lets just say I once knew a guy who married a gal whose nephews were the McMasters boys....

to be clear I was assuming you didn't make the MEME? Just shared it? :)
Not the only one

If I remember there is one in the Cobra Experience too.
That is correct, stole it from the air waves
Just like this one the DOORs IS CLOSED
So what happened to "The Blue Lady"? The most popular explanation is this: One night, Morrison was driving recklessly and hit a telephone pole on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. After inspecting the damage, he walked to the Whiskey A-Go-Go and partied the night away. When Morrison returned, the car was gone.
Then there's this version: Morrison parked the car at Los Angeles International Airport while The Doors went on tour, and when he returned the car had been towed.
There's also speculation that the car was sold and resold multiple times—with the owners unaware of what they had—before it was driven into the ground and eventually crushed in the 1980s.
CAR-RUSHED !

That area sure must have been a magnet for NIGHTMIST BLUE 67 GT 500S back in the day! ;) Back then as it is today... the hot spot for the IN crowd.
