Carryover 074 on its way to its new home last week. The new owner is ecstatic with his purchase which makes me very happy, it's a beautiful car! It was an honor to own such a great piece of automotive history and something that I will never forget.

Record breaking temperatures in Canada lured me and Carryover 074 out of the shadows and onto the front yard today, kind of a redneck Groundhog Day I guess. Was supposed to have eye surgery but Covid-19 took care of that, can't say that I'm mad about so I'm on the loose for another week or so it would seem.

honker, I believe that it is! One of the many pictures of this car on the internet and in Carryover articles! Thanks for sharing!!

During the year they changed from body color painted upper firewall cowl to black. With a removable cowl panel there was no need to paint the upper firewall body color. This car is late enough to be done black. Also has the ribbed DS apron like it should. Gary

Thank you for clearing that up Gary!

Yes sir, this one seems to have more questions than answers.

Am I missing something....why isn't the cowl painted and why is there a speaker hole in the drivers door...and not the passengers door? Red transmission and many other things that make me go yikes.

It sold and is being re-sold as we speak on this website. Looks like it had a splash and dash paint job and some body work which hopefully included addressing that severe collision and rust damage. The interior and drive train were not touched.

This were taken last year when the car was for sale on Facebook market place. Looks like it took a real heavy hit on the drivers side.

Copy and paste...a youtube video of the rescue of this car.

I bet that car would look at lot better under 100K.

Great eye SHELB66!

I would think that yellow with light guts would be quite rare. Rare does not mean desirable.

Hi Cory,

I was seriously considering buying the car, that is why I have this information. The seller was not forthcoming, (to me), about the fender apron replacement. It was only after I demanded a picture of that area of the car that I got that picture and these facts that I am sharing. Obviously, as a result of a "past fender apron replacement", this fender apron does not have a Ford VIN in the area where the VIN tag would go. Also, there was no logical explanation, (to me), as to why there was a big block style shroud around the heater blower motor. I was also skeptical that the Shelby tag had been removed and I was concerned that the tag had appeared to be torn off the car at some point instead of carefully removed. If I sound like I am choosing my words carefully it is because I am doing exactly that. I am not accusing anyone of fraud, VIN tampering or re-bodying, I am simply stating the facts as I know them.  Here are the facts; 1. The fender apron does not have a Ford VIN on it. 2; The car does not have the Shelby plate attached to it; 3. The Shelby tag that goes with the car appears to have been "less than carefully removed" from the car; and 4. The car has a big block heater motor shroud on it. All of these things, when considered in their totality caused me to have serious concerns about the car. This is my opinion as a potential buyer. If you are a re-seller that is going to do a little re-stamping and a little tag re-riveting this probably won't bother you. I guess my wish is that anyone who potentially buys this car knows these facts about it. Please draw your own conclusions in this matter and appreciate that someone has shared this information with the group.

Excellent, enjoy your purchase Bret.

As I said, I am not looking for endless debates about the authenticity of the car, I am simply offering up some knowledge I have about it. Do what you like with this information.

Yes, that one.
