OH BOY,
Cotter just showed pictures of a """ CUBED SHELBY """"" 1967 Shelby GT 500 that was stripped of its serial numbers and shelby ID plate.
Happened decades ago at a junk yard in NY.
I would assume there is a GT 500 running around with welded in numbers and original Shelby plate,
About 410 on index.

One comment asks if it could be the Jim Morrison Shelby.
John
Kool story, could be Jimmys but I think Jimmys was parted out then compacted. Later made into other useful recyclables
Thanks for sharing
We saw it at Cobra Experience Museum this summer during SAAC 46 visit.
Other post too - http://www.saacforum.com/index.php?topic=13049.msg108644#msg108644 (http://www.saacforum.com/index.php?topic=13049.msg108644#msg108644)

Mustang unlimited had a cubed shelby also.
Jimmys had no stripes also
Looks green to me, not the Night mist blue of Morrison's or?
I hate to be the bearer of bad news. The Blue Lady was crashed - undoubtedly junked - flattened and shipped to Japan - who was much smarter on recycling steel in that time period than we were. It probably missed having been fed into a giant chipper so more could fit in the hold as that tech came later.
The good news is it lived again. But sadly not as a Shelby but as some Toyota or Datsun.

Wow, So there's a fake running around like "most likely" many more!!
I would've not told that on a youtube video.
You and I are one of the few realist that know JMs Shelby has vanquished.
But you just never know, just like some "race cars" it to may be resurrected as JMs long lost GT500....the Phoenix

Assuming the stripe to be original isn't that a '68?

That would make for a great little horror story. I could get something out of that...

Well,"people are strange......" ;)
The person who got the 1967 Shelby from the junk yard and turned it into a coffee table is a SAAC member and made sure the Registrar got the Vin. number and details. The car was white originally and had at least one color change. Yes, someone did rebody the car and it is in the Registry.

Whew... thanks for the clarification. Because when the gentleman said he "sold" the serial number, I thought, "surely he knew what he was doing".
Thanks Dave
Inquiring minds need to know, does the cube have a CS signature visible outside or on its interior dash ?

Remember he mentioned he "Sold" the serial number. Dave says that the number transferred to another FB is on SAAC records which is Great.

Since it was a white car repainted the stripes wouldn't be original. I bet Mark Worman could "fix" that car. LOL

I believe that was in reference to the coffee table Shelby, not the "cubed" Shelby -

Gary,
I was referring to original in configuration, which it appears to not be.....
BG
Mr Worman only does Mopars ya'know.
But, on this cube, all I'm saying is it just might be another 67 Mustang with incorrectly installed Shelby side stripes.
