The DA, Allen Grubb, has recently auctioned 2 of the cloned Shelby's, both 1970 GT500 convertibles. He re-titled the vehicles using a state assigned VIN but neglected to take the stolen VIN's off the inner apron fenders.  He advertised these cars with their respective Marti reports also showing the stolen VIN's. The auction item description never revealed the cars as clones. The County Sheriff spent 3 hours in court attempting to get an injunction to stop Grubb's auction. The injunction was denied. An Oklahoma highway patrol trooper performed an inspection and submitted a report for all "visible" VIN's on these cars. That's why the injunction was denied. The judge just didn't understand it. I think the trooper missed a few "visible" VIN's because the auction showed pictures of cloned 68KR engine bays with the Shelby automotive plates still attached.
There is another auction scheduled in June for the remaining clones. All of the perps are now deceased. Wherever they are today, I'm sure they are "laughing out loud". The DA is selling these stolen/cloned cars just as they intended. He's a very $ hungry attorney.  These cars were never Shelby's, not even rebodied Shelby's.
I'm sorry. This has greatly embarrassed me.

Sorry guys, I'm just now reading these posts.
#3210 was reportedly found in a junkyard in Earlsboro, Oklahoma. In 2006, the thieves filed for lost title in Oklahoma using one of their lady friend's name.  In 2010, this woman's signature was forged by the perps on a bill of sale and the title. The title was then transferred to guess who? One of the perps. It was then sold  to a local business man in Shawnee, OK. He is deceased. His kids sold the KR in the Leake Kruse auction. In 2016 when the clones were seized, #3210 was not brought in.
Almost all of the original cars and their owners have been found concerning the Shawnee, OK clones, except #3210 & #4302. The clone to #4302 was in an auction last year in France.
