Hi, I am a new member to this forum.
I recently became the new owner of a GT350-H and little information has come with the sale, too bad! I did get information through a Marti Report and this register.
Still, I am curious if there is more to be found about my GT350. VIN 8T02J149344-01143.

Thanks!
Kind regards,

Michael Bol

It was restored with customized front valence, headlight buckets, hood, mirrors, rear quarters, tail light panel and rear spoiler. 

From what I see it went through a several retail dealers. One was in the Netherlands

Thanx Coralsnake. I'm curious how you got this information.
When was the Shelby restored and by whom, where?

I did indeed buy the car in the Netherlands.

Since I don't have any documentation, I research the timeline carefully. All input is welcome.
Kind regards,

I do not have that information

It appears that the car was at a dealership in St Louis, Mo called Daniel Schmitt.

The car had more modifications there, perhaps contacting them will get you a date?

I can check the Registry but the owner that modified and showed the car in the US should be available


Does the car currently have the oval rear quarter panel reflectors or the rectangular ones? It appears they were changed at some point


Original invoices should also be available for a car sold at Grillo Ford

Heres what is in the Registry with the information I gave you:

Car built by Ford 1/15/68

Car sent to Al Grillo Ford

Car sent to Hertz corporation 1 year

Mildred Masselle

Bonnie Cote

Raymond Fritz

Mike Bartz

Aaldering- dealer some modifications corrected

Car may have been at another dealership called "checkered Flag"

It's a square one which should be the right one in my opinion.
Already ordered the complete registry but thanx for the list.

Do you know how to contact Grillo Ford.

Anyway, Thank you for answering my quenstions. In the Netherlands is hard to find Good information

Grillo went out of business decades ago.

You will not find anything there except a pharmacy.

Contact Kevin Marti and ask for the "Eminger" documents

You can also tell Aaldering the red GT350 they have is a complete fake.

The real car is here in the USA with all original tags.

Are you sure the GT at Aalderink is a fake? Is there any proof? It is recentst for sale.
Looks pretty good with all the documentation and Aalderink is a pretty famous and solid dealer who has a good name. I should be sure when I tell them.

I will send you a private message.

My passports are up to date, so if they need me to fly in I can check my schedule.
