What a great story! Truly, the people that I've met through the Shelby community are top-notch (registrar or not). I was telling a buddy today how I've had 2 different people from the old forum read my posts and PM me to ask for my mailing address. Both times, I received a large manila folder with information about the dealership that my car was originally sold through, as well as detailed documents showing the differences between the assembly line / Shelby assembly manuals for early 67 cars. Both times I offered money in return, and both times I was met with "No worries - enjoy!" And, there are plenty more similar stories I could share.
A first class group of people for sure!
Agree 100%, we all want the history on our cars and sometimes it turns up unexpectedly
A while ago I was chatting with Scott at Cobra Automotive when ordering some bits (conversation came up about my car, I knew it had been through their shop around 10 years earlier) - Scott had a quick think, does a bit of digging and then sends me around 35 photos on when it was inspected etc (and by our very own Howard)
Was fantastic - these are now the earliest pics of have of the car, so really appreciated
cheers
