That neighborhood is a couple of miles from me. In 50 years I have never seen the car or even talked to the owner.

I can't find it on Marketplace (Facebook) either.


"Flamethrowers" are just H4 halogen head lamps. I personally have Marchals. Same difference, melt the rear bumper of the car in front of you if you are too close.

Cars turn their rear view mirrors away.

You have to make sure they are aimed correctly since they can be dangerously blinding. I personally like to see the chrome melt off of the bumpers.

Mostly polyurethane does the melting these days...

No. Those lights melt chrome.

I sure would like to see pics of the engine bay and front nose pieces and hood prop.
Had the one gray 350, I thought there were a few more made?

The car has been "available" for years, the listings come and go.  Has been featured in articles and on line.  Seems the price goes up each time, but it doesn't seem to sell.  Dave M and others can/may comment.

The Flamethrower's were seen on some other car this color - but were believed to be customer swapped out, no hard documentation (to my understanding) has been found that these were Shelby installed.

I've known the owner and car since the late 80's. He restored the car in 1991 doing much of the work himself to the standards we were aware of at the time. He drove it early on but hasn't driven it much in recent years. Years later he added a Paxton supercharger.
The owner has had it for sale off and on for years. He is very attached to the car and prices it accordingly.

We have no information about the Flamethrowers. One of my cars came with them but the wiring job and separate switch to the lights looked like a 5 year old wired them. I believe in my car at least, was done by a previous owner.

I have these photos in my files, I believe this to be 140 ?
