We have put together a Google research group to discuss the Shelby de Mexico's. If anyone has any more information, or just wants to discuss them, please reach out to me and I'll add you.
Like most of you, my first taste of these cars was a 1971 GT351 which is really nothing more than a rebadged Mustang. The '69s seem to have a few more unique items, but it's the 1967s that intrigue me. If you read Eduardo Vélazquez's account of what was done to the '67s and how it was performed under Shelby American's supervision, you can't help but be interested. To date, no 1967s have surfaced either in the states or in Mexico. Imagine a Lil Red look alike complete with 1967 style nose, hood, trunk and spoiler, but with a modified 289 under the hood. I'd like to see one. With a supposed production number of 169, it's hard to believe their aren't any of them out there.
As I told my friend Anthony (aka RoadReptile), just remember that both the first R model and the stunt Bullit turned up sitting in a field in Mexico. Perhaps a few '67s are just waiting for someone to discover them? Anyone up for a road trip?
