to 1967 Shelby Research Group
We have no literature or details on FCC.
Only info I have found with a couple quick searches is:
Foreign Car Center, Inc.
Alabama Domestic Corporation
filed on October 8, 1957
The company's filing status is listed as Merged and its File Number is 725-325.
No Registered Agent is on file for this company.
The company has 4 principals on record: Elizabeth M Beddow, William H Beddow, George O Wright, and June S Wright.
If you have the time, my approach would be to research the principals, their offspring, and other surrounding business owners that might remember FCC (Repair shops, junk yards, car dealers).
On the principal angle, you might be able to find their offspring.
Elizabeth M Beddow & William Beddow, deceased 1975
George O Wright
June S Wright
George Onley Wright III 1928-1988
-> maybe George O Wright 4th, born 1957 is likely a sibling? (addresses and phone numbers are available if you follow the link)
Did Foreign Car Specialists receive any 1967 Shelbys?
I just purchased a 1967 Shelby project from a gentleman that had it forever...
I thought this was worth sharing....
404 A01 for manual transmission, no EECS.
E 404 A01 for manual transmission, with EECS.
405 A01 for automatic transmission, no EECS.
E 405 A01 for automatic transmission, with EECS.

Was it ever figured out which car this is ? I've reposted the photos from the op, January 20th. 2018.
I believe this is car 67212F4A02928
GT350..out boards...usl...side exhaust...where are the tags from "67 350 SC" super charged ? ? ?
There was a question at the time about this being an upper scoop light car with out boards.
There was only one post by this person.
On forum 1.0, this was username "cobradad", aka Clarence.
I'm forever cleaning up my files
I came across this image, looks like a photo/video shoot, what is the story behind it ? '67 Brittany Blue with parchment, and do we
know the car number ? Is this from one of those road rallys in the middle East ? I'm looking at the women in the back ground.

Here is a link to my website with the information that was in the rebuild kit I bought in the early eighties to rebuild 817's MICO: file:///media/rgsimkins3/UUI/Shelby_Web_Pages/66_GT350H/MICO_MC/MICO_MC.htm. Interestingly enough, when I told the guy on the phone that I needed a kit for a 704B1, he said "Oh, Shelby Mustang". I've never had any trouble with the MC and it worked flawlessly the one time I had to make a panic stop. Hope this helps.Link does not work when I click on it. Says ,This site can’t be reached
I believe this to be an original Cobra Carroll Shelby Motors license plate frame. Can anyone confirm this as original from back in the day or possibly an early repo?
Thanks
