GT350-1281

Long time SAAC member from Northern California. Gary was a long term owner of 1966 Shelby # 857 , a GT350 Hertz car. Gary had an incredible knowledge of parts and love for the hobby. Gary was a disabled Vietnam Veteran. You may remember him from SAAC 43 where he sold parts with his brother Randy and his grandson. Had a motor home with a small trailer attached behind it. Will be missed and fondly remembered by family, friends and other Shelby owners.

I didn't know Gary, but I heard he had quite the stash of rare parts. I wish his family the best and thank them for his service.

Not my story to tell.

I read his obituary and it was described as a tragic accident in his garden.  Very sad.  Must live every day like it could be your last.

Yes, I hear there is more to the story, but its water under the bridge at this point
