I advised you I would be coming but I will be unable to attend.

I had Heacock for the last 25 plus years until Last Jan when they informed me they no longer insured in NC. so now I have Hagerty.

planning to be there with my Black 67 #3062.

Would love to go but already have a Florida fishing trip planned with my son, grand kids and family friend for the same weekend.

Looks a lot like my old car. I sold it many years ago to someone in the northwest US. #3838

Had a great time today at the show. It was a great location and was  very nice to park our cars next to the planes. My daughter followed me there in her 2008 Shelby for her first show with her car. It was good that my old Shelby was able to drive 80 + miles at 70/85 MPH at 2500/2800 rpm(thanks to the five speed trans). Looks like 11.5 MPG.

67-350 Its a FORD so not really worried.

  I got the Shelby out yesterday. It has been almost two years since I last started it. Planning to make the drive to Hickory. Looks to be about 84 miles for me.

I have a NOS pitman arm and NOS in box idler arm that have been kept with my house for the last 30 years. They were bought from ford while I owned 5S047.  I am not sure what is involved in assemble line items?  If interested can send photos.

If you want an orginal style connector check with Mike Williams with Orlando Mustang. He had custom molds made for doing this.

I ment to say Larry worked for State Farm

Yes they were my pictures that my son posted a few years back. Larry Parker was the driver/ mech for Dale Nichols(owner of gt40 XGT-3,427 cobra,289 cobra plus many more ford race cars). I worked for State Farm insurance for many years. He also drove in the 12 hrs at Datona in a Viper. He was a very nice guy an attended many SAAC convention with the GT 40.  I think his son still has a 68 Shelby.

I just found my copy of title from Larry Parker showing he bought it 07/18-1977. The car was in his wife's name Mary Ann Praker

I bought 047 from Larry Parker in Orlando on 8-9-1982. He purchased it from the orginal owner Robert Mungall. On 10-1982 I sold it to Wayne Conover. Car was rusty in the rear quarters, door jams, side vents. Had its orginal trans with a hurst shifter and a red right front fender. Orginal motor had been blown up and was missing. It was also missing the steering wheel and insturment panel. The orginal hood was with vehicle. I have never been contacted about this vehicle and I do have several photos.
