Hello, new member here:
I'm looking for anyone familiar with this old thread in the Shelby Forum. I tried joining the Shelby Forum but the eCaptcha never loads under 3 different browsers so trying this forum. I'm 90% positive I have located this car:
About three decades plus ago our searches for Shelby cars (Cobras, GT350s, GT500s, Cobra 427s) led us to a strange car a doctor in Hartselle Alabama owned. He called a 427 Shelby but it was strange in lots of ways. We thought we were chasing a Cobra 427. I don't recall everything but I believe it was a 1969 Mustang chassis with fiberglass front and rear Shelby style pieces, but I don't think the hood had holes in the vent features. There was a 427 tunnel port engine installed in the car and lots of unShelby like details all over the car inside and out. The only VIN we could find started off HMxxxx something so we decided we weren't interested. The doctor claimed, to the best of memory, the car was assembled at Holman-Moody as a racer but got converted to street. I saw the car on and off at local shows for maybe ten years and then it must have left the area.
Any info. would be appreciated.
Thank you.
