It can't be true,  00145 were at many events over the years

I was so happy to get my


I never saw any info about the missing Paxton until the mid 90's or why the car sat i LA for close to two months, but I just drove it home from the shop and with 171,200 miles it runs  great.     On next weeks Cobra tour I expect to put on over 1,500 miles to include a two day trip just to get to upstate New York.

This Woody or #145.   AS we all know I purchased this car in summer of 1967.    Since Mr Dockery had used the car, it did not have a window sticker.  (Side Note:  I ran into Mr Dockery at AMIELA IS cONCOURS  several years ago.   I explained that I had purchases #145 and was more than pleased.   He told me that for any reason I was not happy with my Shelby he would give me a full refund.)  I will get some pictures this week and post.   I have just had my original motor,(block,heads,crank,cam)(motor has 161,000 on it)  rebuilt and a period correct Paxton installed.  Since I also have a new 347 in the car I am not going to change out right now.     If you read the current registry it shows that the car was not complete until Jan 6/1967,  This was almost 3 weeks after cars with like ser no were finished also  it did not ship out to Dockery for almost a month (other cars were shipped to Morristown throughout the month of Jan/67.
