I got me new 69-70 Shelby registry in the mail over the weekend. Just ordered it last week and already have it. They did a really nice job on it, and great information.

 It says on that site they are available that's not correct ?

If it is , where can I buy it ?

Trailer hitch and stripes were black.

Thought I would share this story. I found this 67 GT500 in a yard near my family home back in the early 1980's. I was about 14 years old , me and my best friend were already car crazy and we used to ride our bicycles through neighborhoods and and search for old Muscle Cars sitting in people yards. This 67 Shelby is all I could think about when I found it. I rode past that house at least once a week hoping that the owner would be outside so I could talk to him about it. One day I finally met the owner , but car wasn't for sale and being only 14 he probably thought I was a joke , but he did see I knew somewhat about Shelby's and mustangs, so he let me in his yard to see the car up close. The car is  a real 67 GT500 someone painted it silver , had a black interior , all the Shelby unique parts were still inside , steering wheel , rollbar , dash gauges , ect. The engine and trans were out of the car , but the owner said he had them. I actually got stung by wasps looking at this car , I went to lift up the hood to see engine compartment and there was a wasp nest in there ,I got stung a few times , but at the time I don't think i really cared I got to see a real Shelby. I would keep my eye on this car for a long time. This Shelby would sit in that very spot all the way till around 2013 and then suddenly it was gone one day. It was a shame , the car became very rusty , I would imagine the floors and frame rails had to be rotted from sitting on dirt all that time. The owner of the car had several other cars in that yard along with the Shelby , there was 69 Mach 1 428CJ car , 1971 Boss 351 red , 66 Mustang K-code coupe , 1966 Fairlane factory 427 car , and a wrecked 1969 Boss 429 , it was a Ford lovers dream find. All these cars sat there along with the Shelby from early 1980"s till 2013. I always had a thing for 67 Shelbys since I first laid eyes on this car. I went on in my life to have some pretty rare Fords of my own, I had various 69-70 428CJ Mach-1's and Torino Cobras , a 1970 Boss 302 , and the pinnacle of my cars was a 69 Shelby GT350 Grabber Blue . Never did get a 67 Shelby they were always out of my reach. But still is a dream of mine. Enclosed are pictures of the 67 in the yard with some of the other cars .

thank you

Hi. im trying to start a new topic for the forum and when I try to upload a photo to it nothing happens. My written part of my topic stays there , but no picture will upload. Is there a issue with the forum ?

thanks

Just saw this on ebay for sale. Says its the original window sticker for this car. Don't know if its real or not. And very expensive.

Trying to figure out how to send a private message to forum member ?

What are you asking for it ?

Oh  , ok. Thanks

Hi. This is what I did to track down old cars I owned. If you know what the license plate number was or have a picture of the car and you can see the license plate number in the photo. You can have the DMV do a search on all your cars with that plate number. The results will bring up plate number and the vin # . I went to the DMV website and filled out the form , I think my state was $15 ,  printed out the form and mailed it in , a month or two later got all the info in the mail. I don't know how far they can go back in the records , but I got back to 1982 on mine .  Once you have the vin#  you will be able to do a lot more. I'm from New Jersey and this is what I did. Hope it helps.

I wanted to know why conversations I have on the forum can be found while searching the net ? I thought these were private to this forum ?

Thanks. Yes , did that already. No Luck there. Have a lot of stuff the current owner might want of the car. Oh well, thanks anyway. Maybe someday he will show up in registry.
