Glad you were able to locate it

Update #2: This morning, I received an email from the current owner of 2078 saying he has decided he is going to sell 2078 and would I be interested in purchasing it. I have been thinking about this possibility this morning and it would be a huge undertaking to get 2078 back to the States. Also, since 2078 has been resto-modded but the OE engine, transmission and 15" ten spoke rims are part of the sale, what would be a price range I should expect? Ive seen recent auction prices of other 67 GT350s so I know they arent cheap.

1 hour North of Stockholm. 😎 Did not know you was looking for it. Found the owner, ph# and address in 2 minutes!

Thank you, John. I figured the owner must live within the metro area of Stockholm or other large city. I have replied to the owner expressing my interest in seeing if this sale can be made to work for us both.

The last time I posted about 02078 I had settled in my mind that it was being cared for and that I should not expect to be able to own it. His email caught me off guard and Ive been pondering all day questions I have and people I want to contact to ask for advise on logistics. More to come.

Is it still Grabber Blue?

No. The guy (Wayne?) my dad sold 2078 to in Alaska was a fellow club member and he was he one that painted it Grabber Blue. When I saw it for the first time in its new paint my first thought was youre the wrong guy to own this Shelby. It looked hideous.

The current owner repainted it the correct Nightmist Blue.
