If it is , where can I buy it ?

Thought I would share this story. I found this 67 GT500 in a yard near my family home back in the early 1980's. I was about 14 years old , me and my best friend were already car crazy and we used to ride our bicycles through neighborhoods and and search for old Muscle Cars sitting in people yards. This 67 Shelby is all I could think about when I found it. I rode past that house at least once a week hoping that the owner would be outside so I could talk to him about it. One day I finally met the owner , but car wasn't for sale and being only 14 he probably thought I was a joke , but he did see I knew somewhat about Shelby's and mustangs, so he let me in his yard to see the car up close. The car is  a real 67 GT500 someone painted it silver , had a black interior , all the Shelby unique parts were still inside , steering wheel , rollbar , dash gauges , ect. The engine and trans were out of the car , but the owner said he had them. I actually got stung by wasps looking at this car , I went to lift up the hood to see engine compartment and there was a wasp nest in there ,I got stung a few times , but at the time I don't think i really cared I got to see a real Shelby. I would keep my eye on this car for a long time. This Shelby would sit in that very spot all the way till around 2013 and then suddenly it was gone one day. It was a shame , the car became very rusty , I would imagine the floors and frame rails had to be rotted from sitting on dirt all that time. The owner of the car had several other cars in that yard along with the Shelby , there was 69 Mach 1 428CJ car , 1971 Boss 351 red , 66 Mustang K-code coupe , 1966 Fairlane factory 427 car , and a wrecked 1969 Boss 429 , it was a Ford lovers dream find. All these cars sat there along with the Shelby from early 1980"s till 2013. I always had a thing for 67 Shelbys since I first laid eyes on this car. I went on in my life to have some pretty rare Fords of my own, I had various 69-70 428CJ Mach-1's and Torino Cobras , a 1970 Boss 302 , and the pinnacle of my cars was a 69 Shelby GT350 Grabber Blue . Never did get a 67 Shelby they were always out of my reach. But still is a dream of mine. Enclosed are pictures of the 67 in the yard with some of the other cars .

Hi. im trying to start a new topic for the forum and when I try to upload a photo to it nothing happens. My written part of my topic stays there , but no picture will upload. Is there a issue with the forum ?

Just saw this on ebay for sale. Says its the original window sticker for this car. Don't know if its real or not. And very expensive.

Trying to figure out how to send a private message to forum member ?

I wanted to know why conversations I have on the forum can be found while searching the net ? I thought these were private to this forum ?

Anyone know when the new 69-70 Shelby registry is supposed to be done and for sale ?

Im trying to find out if anyone here knows how you would go about tracking down a 69 Shelby That I once owned. I have the # vin and pictures of it . I sold it in 1999.  I found it for sale at Mecum Auction in 2012 on a google search. My old Shelby is listed in the registry with my name as a previous own , but no new current owners. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Just wondering if anyone saw the yellow 69 Shelby GT350  on ebay right now . Ive been watching it now for few months , its been on there off and on. Now the price is dropped down to 64K . Seems like a very good deal. Any thoughts on the car ?

Was just wondering if all the SAAC conventions were filmed from the very beginning till now  ?  Are they available  anywhere ?

Im Looking for anyone who might have filmed or have pictures of the 1991 14th annual spring fling in Nashville , Indiana . My 1969 Shelby was there in the show , and thats the year Carroll Shelby signed my trunk lid. My car was a 1969 Shelby GT350 in Grabber Blue - with white interior. Thanks. Bob

Hello. I might go look at  A 1970 shelby Gt350 for sale near my home for a friend of mine. I know the 69 Shelbys pretty well , and the various numbers and parts to look for .  Is it correct that 1970 shelbys are still 1969 cars with just updated vins and the black hood stripes and chin spoiler ?  everything else is still 69 shelby ? The upper shock tower vins should read as 1970 shelby ?  Also what would i look for if there are any suspitions of a car being a rebodied shelby ?  Thanks. Bob

Hello. I had a 1969 shelby Gt350 grabber blue that sold at the Mecum auction in 2012 at Des Moines Iowa july 20-21 . Was wondering if anyone has a video or clip of it going over the auction block ?  Apparently it was the main attraction and brought the most money of all cars that weekend. Tried asking Mecum already no luck with them. Checked Youtube and no luck there either. Any help is greatly appreciated/ Bob
