Fellow Shelby Enthusiast fighting for is life

[owenkelley]

 A fellow Shelby enthusiast is fighting for his life after being severely burned when there was an explosion and fire while he was working on the water heater in his home. Gary Meuchel owns a '68 GT500 that he purchased back around 1976 and '67 GT500 #413 that he's owned for about 15 years. He owns Cherry Lane Motors in Lolo Mt, just south of Missoula where he specializes in the restoration of classic Ford vehicles. He and his shop were the subjects of a Car and Driver article written by John Phillips III a few years back. He was an annual attendee of the SAAC Does Vegas shows and the Team Shelby Vegas meets up until Carroll passed away. He and his wife are raising two of their grandkids, making this an even worse tragedy. If any of you feel like contributing to the GoFundMe account that has been set up for him that would be greatly appreciated. He's one of those guys who would drop what he was doing to help a friend, truly a great guy.
