Fantastic! Real wisdom to hold onto it, most people have a lifetime of regrets rather then a lifetime of good memories!

6S531  1970...(complete with  Shelby-American T-shirt)... ::)

Strange looking center caps on the magnums, are those like 1970 Boss center caps with the running horse? They look pretty large.

Notice the "H" removed from the side stripe, a fairly common practice back in the day, I have read.

I don't know the time frame of this picture, but the Blue Streaks seem to infer that it's a period photo.

Does anyone know the date of it??

Me and the original owner
He bought it after it came out of Hertz service in late 66-early 67 and I purchased it in Dec 1971

Owned since 1971, NOW DRIVEN OVER 250,000 MILES, makes me smile every time I drive it and it makes me feel 21 again.😎
