I bought 047 from Larry Parker in Orlando on 8-9-1982. He purchased it from the orginal owner Robert Mungall. On 10-1982 I sold it to Wayne Conover. Car was rusty in the rear quarters, door jams, side vents. Had its orginal trans with a hurst shifter and a red right front fender. Orginal motor had been blown up and was missing. It was also missing the steering wheel and insturment panel. The orginal hood was with vehicle. I have never been contacted about this vehicle and I do have several photos.

Hi , maybe this picture is one of yours ? it suppose to be 047 ? i can't remember where i found it on internet ..

     I knew a Larry Parker from Orlando (kinda a big guy, caucasian, black somewhat long hair, often some time between shaves, and generally wearing a baseball cap & dark blue uniforms for whom he worked, maybe the same guy?) during or just post these dates, was a good customer here for many years; I think I remember him mentioning he had sold a Shelby project he felt he would never finish, which supplied him with some of the funds he then dropped in our shop for some of his other projects back then (maaaybe a Fairlane w/ 427?).       :-\

Are you referring to the front shock tower mounts rather than the export brace?

Yes they were my pictures that my son posted a few years back. Larry Parker was the driver/ mech for Dale Nichols(owner of gt40 XGT-3,427 cobra,289 cobra plus many more ford race cars). I worked for State Farm insurance for many years. He also drove in the 12 hrs at Datona in a Viper. He was a very nice guy an attended many SAAC convention with the GT 40.  I think his son still has a 68 Shelby.
