Wanted to Buy / Re: WTB-1965 Small Letter Cobra Intake

If memory serves, I contacted Paul because I was interested in an early intake but his had the S1MS part number.

In his book "a life on 4 wheels" Ed. du Palmier 2004, p.123 Claude Dubois writes that he sold seven GT350s in 1966 as a car dealer (not 10 as in his inteview on Ponysite)

Claude Dubois did not become an importer of Shelby until 1967.
So he did not import a GT350 either in 1965 or 1966.

It cannot be a 1965 GT350 because, to my knowledge, only two street models have been sold new in Europe (the first one in Sweden and the second one in Switzerland).
It's not a 1966 GT350 either, because on the plate I think I read 0f0"3"m492551 (the "3" seems to have been omitted) so it's a 1970 GT350 convertible imported by Claude Dubois in Belgium. More precisely, it was bought by a French (traded for a Boss 302) in 1974, Patrice De Bruyne who sold it shortly after in the United States. It is now owned by Gary Boehnlein.

SFM6S947 is indeed an export  ;)

About the GT350 published on 04.1987 in Autopassion Mag Nr. 6, 554 DB 13, intersport sticker:
So it's not 6S797, but maybe 6S947. It belonged to a certain Roland Perret Ducray at the time of the article.
Then registered 930 LV 69 when Burgol bought it and restored it.
If it is 6S947, it is now for sale: https://www.fa-automobile.com/detail-vente.php?voiture-a-vendre=Ford-Mustang-/-Shelby&id=22&v=4212#

SFM6S797
The car was in the Bourdon junkyard (in France) on Route Nationale 7, with a sister intact mechanically but not cosmetically. It would have arrived this scrapyard in 1977. There, Bernard Hachevin (who would have owned a lot of Shelby) is going to buy this 6S797, as well as the parts of the other Shelby. In the 90s Marc (the current owner who lives in Savoy 74) bought this Shelby. It would have the engine of the other Shelby that was scrapped (he said 6S397) which had a good mechanical condition but, I quote, "ax hits all over the place, probably money stuff back then" so a dead body ...

The original exhaust can be seen on the roof of the Shelby.

He waits until he has all the NOS parts to take care of it, but other priorities have made him work on something other than his Mustangs.

then i don't understand why !! ???

This Shelby was imported in 1990 and has a normal registration card, so it went through Dreal (Mînes) which required a cold pad from the SFM.
In 1990 she was only 24 years old and it takes at least 30 years to claim a collector's card which would not have required her to be identified by the SFM66 
it was obligatory for homologation in France with a normal (no collector) registration.
