The Colors are great.  Ford had it hanging inside and when my Friend got it, he hung it inside his Storage Room that is inside his Garage so it saw no Sun Light.  I buddy wanted offered me $500 for it but I wouldn't know how to safely ship it to him in Texas.

Now that's very kool, most of these went to Ford service centers, enjoy

YEP, that's where he got it from.

Is it still Grabber Blue?

If you attended the MCA 60th Mustang Anniversary Show at the Barbers Motorsports Park in Birmingham and brought your Shelby, we have have met as I gave out about 36 small bottles of "BLACK HAT" Kentucky Straight Bourbon.  Some said they will not open the Bottle, that they are going to put them on Display instead but will raise a Glass for sure. so, I ask you all (that is able to) to Raise a Drink up to Honor Carroll Shelby on May 10th at 8:00pm EST.

Famous name associated with the CAR or with the VIN#?

Quote from: Don Johnston on April 18, 2024, 07:02:25 PMSo who is producing the new GT500KR and what are the specs on it?

I believe that too will be SAI.

I will offer $10 BUT, that must include Shipping and if there is any damage, I will refuse it and want my Money back.  Do we have a deal?

Yep.....

Quote from: deathsled on April 16, 2024, 11:50:11 AMLegendary Motorcar might have a different idea on the whereabouts and or condition of the Mark Donohue R model.

Yes the Shelby VIN tag exists and it is on a restored car. Period reports and previous owners indicate how little of 105 is left from when it departed SA.

Since matter can neither be created nor destroyed, it exists somewhere else, neither here nor there, and not necessarily as a cohesive whole but rather in sub atomic particles scattered across the globe.

Much like Schrödinger's Cat? 

See how many people get this.......

I 4th that thought.  One person could make 15 reply's to the same post and knock every other post off the list.  I like seeing 15 different Topics.

Quote from: tesgt350 on April 15, 2024, 01:36:29 PMOn a different note, we know SAI built non "K" Coupes for Racing in 65?, 66 & 67, did SAI ever build any non "K" Fastbacks for Racing in 65?

No - Larry Zane said that the Donahue car 105 (which he owned at the time) had been rebuilt on a new T (6 cyl) fastback bought at a local dealer.

From an earlier post on the car....
The Donahue car is hard to keep up with. Registry says 5r105 was "lightened up" so much in '65 they had to replace it with a "body in white" for the start of the '66 season. (Was that even a thing back in the mid 60's. I've never hear that term used on anything other than the 2008 and up Cobra Jets powered cars.. These were not the 50 produced each year.) I'm thinking the 6 cylinder car might be this same replacement.

Then when it was sold to Yale Kneeland for the '67 season. A wreck forced them to replace the car's front clip. Later at Marlboro on July 16th, it was rolled in practice. Parts were swapped onto a Hertz rental for the race and removed afterwards. Was that the end of this cars race history? I have to wonder how much of the current car is really 5r105?

SO, in reality, 5r105 is actually an "Air Car", a regular Fastback with some real Shelby Parts? 

Also, I believe it was in 1994, Ford would sell "Body's in White" to Dealers which resold them to people building Track Cars.  I remember them starting at about $8,995 and all it was, was just the bare Body. 

Quote from: Coralsnake on April 15, 2024, 01:59:06 PMI feel like we have had this conversation before? Trust me when I say I know where all "hidden VINs" are. There is a group of club members who also know based on their experiences. Not to mention the fact many have law enforcement contacts or are in the law enforcement business

The reason I said that is because he said that ALL of the Factory VIN's were removed and a new one was added.
