Hello,
i want to open a new thread with a special GT350 because it was on a trip across Europe...
and because i live in Germany, and GT350s was back in the Days very special here, for me
it is worth to do an own thread about.
Of Course, the Car that i mean is SFM 5S114first i want and have to thank a lot of people for pre Infos and sources:
Richstang, SFM66H (Kieth), Howard Pardeebut i still search for Infos and Pics, so when you have anything please send me a message
or write it here
Most important at the moment would the two Articel shown in SAAC Magazin "The Shelby American" 36 & 37
with some pics of the Test by Fangio and Notes from Peter BrockWhat i know from the Registry that 5S114 was build by SAI
in March 65 on LAX and was officially for Export to the Count Fillipinetti (Scuderia Fillipinetti)
in Geneva, Switzerland
This was done by Ship "M.S. Lista" from New York to Le Havre in French, dated 5 / 14 / 65
a month befor LeMans65 was on June
LeHavre was a very big port, where even big Container Ship could go in French
But befor given to Filipinetti the Car made an special Route to several Station,
the early Pic i know was dated in 5 / 65 befor the Eifeltower in Paris,
LeHavre to Paris is about 120 Miles
We can see the Car very clean and fresh befor the Eifeltower in Paris,
please note the (later important) License Plate in Paris: 1A MFG 013
which indicate the Car is direct to SAI (Manufactor Plate) and even
insured and registerd over SAI in America
second note: the Mustang Emblem in the Front grill is missing at this pic
So what you Thoughts about this, intersting or just old cold cofee,
soon i will go to LeMans65 and then the journey would really beginGreets from Germany
