Man with the forklift to the rescue.  Funny, I'm well aware this happened but I've never seen this from this angle. Interesting...

Seem to remember "Allen Grant" had something to do with this ...

I have a new fellow in my neighborhood that moved here to NC from California that worked at Shelby at that time. He's never seen the picture but he was telling me the story about this car almost falling off the truck. He was there when it happened. His name is Steve Chiles if anyone out there remembers him. He remembered working on the 65s.

think that photo is in the daytona coupe book   by brock
Some where some one is driving their collector car for the last time but they don't know it . Drive your car every time like it could be the last memory of it .
