Here's a couple from Canada, both photos at St. Jovite track, North of Montreal, Quebec.

the dark car, I have as Gresko ? at St. Jovite  Sept. 17th. '67 (couldn't find it in the registry)

The light car is Grenier, GT500 (#00762) also at St. Jovite Oct. 6th. '67 (jives with info in the registry)

Mike, I have the dark car noted as #1427 with the name Yvon Blais noted. I think this info came from a note on forum 1.0.

Rich, thanks for that info on #1427, when I went through my registry (2011) compiling a list of '67s originally sold in Canada, I missed that one  ::) have now corrected my files, and my original post.

I'm pretty sure this was on the old forum (not exactly from the web), piece from the San Francisco Examiner on Clint Luhman and his GT500.

Tom Yeager's GT 500

Looks like he's pulling a trailer

NICE!!!

"T Y 6" on the plate...I wonder what the 6 stood for. Looks like parchment interior inside that Lime Gold GT500.
Any other photos of this Shelby?

Don't know what the 6 stood for. He owned a business in Marion, OH. Many times business owners/families get
plates all the same but with numerals for the "fleet". Just guessing. That pic was taken between Marion, OH and
Mid Ohio, June 1968 on our way to the Trans Am/SCCA Nationals. Tom was racing that weekend. Don't remember
what car...I think a 289 BP Cobra. At Indy SAAC Convention Tom said that GT 500 could "pass everything except
a gas station!

And yes, he was pulling a U-Haul trailer.

This is a great find. You beat Coralsnake to it. I guess he's just looking for '68s?

If "TY" and the subsequent TY1, TY2 TY3,TY4,TY5 were already in use then he would have TY6

(also a color adjustment hope that's OK)

Tom thanks for those pics of the Yeager '67, and JD for colour correction ! Yeager had quite a history with Shelby cars. He raced a GT350, Cobra and a Mustang notch, with which he helped Ford clinch the manufacturers championship in the '66 Trans-Am series.
Not to side track the thread, here's a pic of his Cobra, maybe that's on the trailer behind the '67. any one know the CSX ?

JD

combined the car in Reply #31 and #38 as they are the same car and did some color adjusting...

The trailer was empty. He passed us, so I had a good I.D.
