Dennis Collins now claims his 67 mustang is 1477 - Dave?

[Wedgeman]

Got my boots on and was slowly sinking...until Dennis said that people stated that the Vietnam Car was cooler than the Bulitt Mustang..(glub, glub)....

When Dennis and Richard take a beer walk you can expect a tidal wave of BS

[Side-Oilers]

Kinda surprised that Richard didn't know what the brake duct hose in the rear side scoop was for.

He'd figure it was to blow the tire smoke out of the wheel well for a bigger plume.

[Side-Oilers]

Or a driver relief tube. The hose just needs to be routed to the driver's seat.

Must be nice to own a Shelby transmission.Much nicer to own an actual Shelby though.....

I think we should all give Dennis and Richard an opportunity to review what they have heard and what they have seen  and digest it for a bit. Their reputations in this hobby is something they have spent years developing and I am certain they are in no hurry to damage it over a tired old Race car they can certainly turn a profit on as it is. When you play baseball you cannot hit a home run everytime you are up to bat. But a base hit will always keep you in the game. And that's what this car is. Dennis Collins "Coffee Walk" on you tube should get a boost in views as should Richard Rawlings "Gas monkey Garage" also seen on You tube.

While the car may well be the remnants of 1477, there is still a significant amount of paint removal to show its the same as the photos he was flashing. With that (and more) will he really be able to estimate how much is remnant. Old race cars are the hardest to prove origins.

Lets play devil's advocate

He has part of 1477. There is no paperwork or serial number. These are facts.

If you take the leap and create either, I think that's illegal and you are taking a chance another version of the car doesn't exist or show up.

You can have a serial number on your vehicle, but you just cant take one you don't have.

Because, if you bet the farm and you're  wrong...

[Peter L.]

  Yup!

[shelbymann1970]

Why draw everyones attention to it at all?

If you say it long enough on the web, and promote it to all of the journalistic parties, then it sooner or later becomes the truth. Worked for Shelby 


Bill

It also has worked for a certain 1 of 1 69 "Shelby" GT350...

Pete:  I looked at a 67 Shelby awhile back and finally convinced the guy to take off the tag.
It was a nice 67 clone but it was a C Code Mustang.
The seller was still convinced it was a real car.

Finally, I looked at him and his wife and told him "if you sell this as a GT 350 about four months from now you'll get a registered letter in the mail and then a court date".  I told them that I'm not the Shelby police but they're opening themselves up to a major problem down the road.

Soon after they changed their description.

I don't wish to be the police either, just sharing what I have learned over the past few decades.

It amazes me how many people are oblivious to the facts and can't apply some very basic information.

I'd clean that statement up to read he has the transmission from 1477. Anything more and he'll be adding you to his list of experts who have confirmed it's "the car".

[roddster]

  For those of us that have read the new 2022 registry from front to back, this seems to be an asterisk car.  Now forever to have the explanation that there is no Vined numbered sheet metal, and out of date (so I read) sheet metal with the known Ford and Shelby completion date.  Possible air car/rebody.  What would that be worth? 
  There are other cars in the registry with similar descriptions.
