Simply as someone previously mentioned,  truly a miracle. Be still my heart. First it was bullit number two in Mejico. Now its little red. I am not a betting man, but I will wager $1 that soon (next couple of years) we will have the long lost Morrisons Shelby with us...

Morrison's remains still a real possibility.

Like Jimmy's and his car I truly dont think will be coming back. But you just truly dont know. What was the qoute on the 6 million dollar man. We can rebuild him. We have the technology.  We can make him better than he was. Better, stronger, faster.

Steve Austin was over priced. I wouldn't pay that.

It's funny really. it seems all these they got crushed stories seem to be code for sneaking them out the back door!  makes you wonder if these cars were discovered 30 years ago, somebody would be in very hot water from a legal standpoint. But 50 years on? Who cares? And you're right it does cost money to do all these searches. but the upside can be pretty staggering.

I had a family member work in Ford Light Truck Engineering back in late 70's,
while working on the Ford Dearborn test track there were Pantera's lined up in the infield
with "Parts Only" spray painted on the hoods, destined for the crusher.

My theory is as long as Ford has control that destiny is likely, once they are in someone elses custody there is more chance to escape the crusher, IMHO.

When I wasd a Ford parts manger we had our towing service  (also police impound lot) bring in a Lincoln that turned up during a traffic stop,
the VIN didn't come up, after contacting Ford they found a line worker drove it off the line one day and had been driving it for some time.
That one DID go to the crusher after Ford Legal got done.

😂 I guess that guy felt he was entitled to a bonus or something! Or maybe he thought it was his own car and he forgot and just drove it home!😂

Anyone have specific info about where the car was found.  I live about 15 miles from Weatherford and I can't help daydreaming about it.

The exact location and maybe even some names are likely no need to know.

Is this a Period Photo of Little Red?  If so, it has 67 Shelby Deck Lid Emblems on the Roof Sail panels.

Coralsnake

Yes, the picture was taken during the introduction of the 1967 models.

Remember engineering cars stayed at the factory for longer periods of time than regular production cars.

The car was later "updated" to 1968 specifications...with all new fiberglass, interior and emblems.

This is the way that I remember it. I don't recall seeing it dressed as a '68?
