If I remember correctly, the car was rolled back over, roof kicked/beaten upwards enough that the car was driven home by it's bruised owner. Now restored to it's former glory.

1968 but maybe we should  do all




Since this is the 69/70 Shelby subforum, I left it as 69/70 Shelbys. But we could start a new thread in the 68 Shelby subforum, as there are some really interesting stories with some of the cars 04390 and 03278 as perfect examples.

Those are my photos, taken in 1983 at Shelby Club autocross in Va Beach. After the accident, the car was found to have a broken main leaf in one of the rear springs, we think that's the main contributing factor in the wreck.

There was no driving away afterwards, unless riding out in an ambulance with a broken back counts. In actuality, what happened was the car was rolled back over using an old work truck, a chain and about 7 strong backs. It was loaded on a trailer and trailered back to Hampton to the owners house. Luckily the owner, a good friend, suffered no paralysis or debilitating injuries, but this was the end of his autocross (and drag racing) activity and after repairs (roof replacement, repaint, and tires) it was sold to another local Shelby enthusiast as an entry level driver in 1984. I know the number of this car (the two subsequent owners before the car left the Commonwealth are also good friends), but I'm not going to reveal it on a public forum, not sure any good would come of it.

Some where some one is driving their collector car for the last time but they don't know it . Drive your car every time like it could be the last memory of it .

Any idea what happened to "3106"?

I see left front unibody damage and an apparent deformation of that impact carrying back to the windshield header as the drivers side of the windshield header is noticeably higher than the passenger side. Either caused by the initial impact, or when the car was towed away is unknown, but still there if you know what to look for.

This is a thread for documenting the list of cars, but not each car in detail, I suggest starting a new thread with what is known, and the additional pictures so we do not take this thread beyond why I started it.

Thanks
