Could someone please enlighten me on what's correct for the shocks and also the "dreaded Mustang caution fan sticker?" Sounds like I have some simple fixes to make...

Despite best intentions we never did get a picture of the three early cars together, but #0078, #0083, and #0085 were in attendance.

The professional photographer got some terrific shots of #0083 on the track, and see the first link for a good video of the drag race. I drove the hell out of that car!

JD, thank you for respectfully correcting my incorrect correction. I stand corrected!!!  😂

Very minor correction, but #0083 actually had a completion date of 10/22/66. Thanks!

No big surprise, but I can confirm #0083 is a 6A car. DSO: 842505; DSO Item #: 0497. Thanks!

Any recent news on the registry??? Thanks!

Dang! Howard got back to me and the last info update was from 1988: John Velting of Michigan. An Internet search revealed a J. Velting Sr. Who died in 1996 and a Jr. who died in 2008. I have a buddy who's a PI.... wish me luck! I might have to start a "Go Fund Me" page. 😂

Hahahaha!!!! Brian, I knew it would come to this. I've decided to paint the whole damn car. '67 #83 deserves it.

Hahaha- it could be EPIC! I haven't heard back from Mr. Pardee yet... hoping I can get in touch with the owner. Probably a long shot but it's worth it.

Perfect! Thanks so much.

Absolutely! But, I actually have no desire to build a new car from the tag. It would just be neat to frame it with a picture of the car before it was destroyed, or something along those lines.

I am painting an early "red light" car. The lenses in the scoops haven't been removed in decades. It looks like they should come off with a counter-clockwise turn, but I don't want to break them trying something incorrect. Please advise! Thanks

I've had her 25 years next month! Still one of my favorite cars!

Thank you, Steve, I just sent Howard an email.

The thought has definitely crossed my mind! 😁

Hello, I have 1967 #0083 and my father owns 1968 #0083. Just for fun, I'm trying to track down more information on what happened to 1966 #0083. The Registry just states that the car was destroyed and the owner has the tag. Any thought/ideas? Thank you! -Ryan
