Owner currently listed in Registry does not own car anymore

Great, cant wait to see what she comes up with!

thecoralsnake.com

Someone on the Facebook, should tell her to look at reply 21 of this thread.

I dont think anyone will come up with a closer match

Possible, but that would need some supporting documentation.

The number of cars that check all those boxes is very limited and then if one does it has to be in Windsor, Ontario and be a copy of the one they sold earlier.

I also thought about the possibility that an early car was repaired with a newer style quarter panel. But, those are long shots in my opinion

Its still the best guess, but pictures of car 1995 would be very helpful

😉

But, I think you also have to take into account, Dingwall only had one car that matches the description to the best of our knowledge

Here is our best guess based on the information provided by the Facebook post:

1968 GT500 / Matches information below
White top - confirmed by photograph / Matches information below
Convertible - confirmed by photograph / Matches information below
White exterior - confirmed by photograph / Matches information below
Black interior - confirmed by photograph / Matches information below
4spd - currently no match
No AC - believed from photograph / Matches information below
From Windsor, ON, CN -Dingwall Ford decal on rear valence above LH tail pipe / Matches information below
Built after 2/15/68 - confirmed by photograph / Matches information below

Car can not be a GT500KR, do to information provided in photographs.

Dingwall Ford sold 14 new cars in 1968 according to Shelby Club records.

They only sold one white, convertible to Roy J. Merlo (Windsor, Ontario, Canada). It was Vehicle Identification Number 8T03S173645-01995.
This car was an automatic transmission car.

We believe: Its most likely this car was purchased "used" from Dingwall Ford by the Facebook poster's father.

This car was last seen in Indiana in 1989.

This information is a collaboration of Mr. Paul Orr, The SAAC / Vinny Liska and Coralsnake. Also assisting forum member "KR Convertible"

It did not come from a Facebook Group, Barrett-Jackson, Marti Autoworks, The Canadian Ministry, Shelby American, a private investigator or any insurance companies.
Those are all great resources, just not for finding lost cars.

 ;)

If anyone knows the current disposition of car # 1995 Mr. Liska would love to get an update on that car.

Definitely not a GT500 KR, that part of the discussion is a little off base

Car has round tailpipes and Marchals, that excludes a KR

Well if she's not going to share information, then you get what you get.

I am believing that the above information has some inaccuracies in it.

She has shared the name "Umberto Pomponio"

Can someone ask her to post other photos??

And let her know we are working on the puzzle

A great crowd sourced list of where not to find information on your car.

There's like two guys on there that know what their talking about.
