Looking for my Dads 1968 GT500

[Halftrack]

First let me say I love the pictures. But am I missing something, I frequently do. And please know I'm not trying to find fault, just trying to help. OP is looking for 68 GT500 #703, purchased new in Dallas, Texas. The Registry says #703 was first used as a demonstrator at AL Grillo in Lynn, MA and appears to have spent it's known life in the northeast. Could it have been transfered to the Dallas dealership after its demonstrator service at AL Grillo?

Yes I'm honestly not sure. I posted this same inquiry a couple years ago and someone found it and said this wa stage one

Bump, anyone have a lead?

[67 GT350]

In 1978 I bought a 55 Thunderbird for 3000.00 in 1979 I bought a 67 GT350 for 2150.00....He did fantastic! I would have sold my cars for 10K and bought 3 cars back then, if someone came by and offered 10K for my cars. In fact, in 1983 I bough my Boss 429....thats 429 for 9100.00

Those my friends are the days I would like to see again, I don't care for the big bucks, I want the fun!

The bike pulling pic is awesome!   Especially since I have some old 71 Yamahas too!!   Good luck with the search!

He did good for that time.  One never knows where things can go in the collector car market.  Some guys sell because they want to buy a house or a kid is on the way or a college education needs funding.  It's a calamity of circumstances that cause us to give up the things we cherish.  Sometimes we just plain lose interest.  To a degree we have to live for the moment.  Sometimes later means never.

Very good synopsis of circumstance.  I have heard many times people saying "if only", but truly we are caretakers for a time and then we move on.  The next decade will be interesting as I see a lot of cars coming out of long term ownership to be cared for by someone else.
