Thanks Richard! I seem to remember someone from New Hampshire calling me years ago when they were thinking about buying my old GT350H. They were looking into the car's history before pulling the trigger.

#01564 was a 1968 and not a 1967. If anyone has the 1968 Registry and can look up #01564 I would appreciate it.

Selling both cars was a tough decision as I only intended on selling one of them. But when the buyer offered up enough money to pay off my mortgage after only owning the house for 10 years it was a no brainer. And since I was already able to find two affordable Shelbys that needed restored, I figured I could always find another one. But of course that didn't happen! But no regrets (well maybe a little regret) as it was important to us at the time for my wife to be a stay at home mother. When my sons were born (1983 and 1985) they both came home from the hospital in each of the Shelbys. And they both remind me that I sold THEIR cars!

Hi Everyone,
Back in the 1980s, and back when I was still Shelby rich, I owned 1966 GT350H #541 (original 4-speed Hertz) and 1968 GT500 #01564. Both cars were in the 1989 SAAC World Registry. I sold the cars in 1989 so that I could pay my house off early. This allowed my wife to stay home to raise our two sons. I sold both cars to the same person and he bought them to flip. I live in Iowa and the last I heard the GT350H was in the east coast and the GT500 was in Montana. I always wondered what happened to the cars and thought maybe someone on here would know. Steve
