Longtime 67 Shelby owners & 50 years with #0036

[mark p]

1/30/1971:  Yep, that was the day I bought 67 GT 350 #0036.  And I still have it...

Wow - congrats Rod - that has surely been a lot of smiles

Hey Rod
A day to celebrate indeed, I think you may have been one of the first early 67' owners I contacted upon purchasing 0031 in 1999, was great to meet you in person at SAAC 42 and to see your car in person for the first time too, you've been a good caretaker of 0036, keep up the good work and enjoy the ride!

Just joined the forum. Bought my 67 500 in April of 1970. It's been sleeping since 1972. For my birthday (70) this last year, I made a promise to put it back together for this coming summer. Will post photos when I figure how.

Brought 3120 home in 1975. Last year I thought I would have front end aligned because tires wore out on inside edges. You know how one thing leads to another, so here we are now.

Is that car in Michigan, John?

Yes, hopefully ready for spring.

Jon, the real question is - how many lights are going back on the front???

What happened in 1972 to cause the 49-year sleep? 

[Vernon Estes]

The second owner of #2681 purchased the car after the first owner traded it in at only 6 months old and 1668 miles on the odometer.  Lawrence Bell would keep the car from 1968-2019, 51 years.

If someone else wants to start a 50 year love affair with a great 67...never a better time to start than at 1pm Central time over on BringATrailer.com...

Michigan law would only allow the six, that's why I had to keep the fog lights covered. Of course that may have been changed, what with all the new LED lights.

Will probably keep it the same, but one never knows?

My name is Dan McLaughlin I have been the proud owner of 00239 for just shy of 50 years it also has been in hibernation for way to long it has 32,000 original miles it had one repaint at Earl Shieb in 1992 when I64 first opened I imagine that was the fastest trip anyone ever made then or present day on that stretch of road I think the paint job was 29.95  My engine is at a machinist friend of mine I age many questions but for now the one is who an do you carbs?

[Dan Mclaughlin]

I forgot  to add that was 18 years old as well when I bought 00239 . I am new to all this posting so I will apologize for all of the errors that i am sure that I am going to make my hope is that with everyone's patience I can gather the information that i may need to make 00239 STRIKE AGAIN!!
