5S274 joins the stable

[GT350Lad]

Hi all,

I am excited to say that 5S274 joins my stable. She has a heavy race history and is well documented in registry and Shelby Marquee. Don Buck raced her for many years, and then she was raced locally.

Now she needs restoration and I am looking forward to it.
Thanks to all who have been involved so far. I'll post some pics when I can and will no doubt be hanging out more on this page as I restore the great 65 features.

Cheers

Thanks guys, I appreciate the well wishes.
I spoke to the original owner in the last few days.
He ordered it with a Roll cage and that  was in there when they picked it up from the dealership. Pretty cool
You can see it in the newspaper pic, that's October 65

One more pic guys, here is the original receipt when the car was bought from used car yard/wrecker in 1970 for $600

Looking forward to helping if needed with your process.

This one has too much day 2 history to become just another white/blue restoration. Put it back to that October configuration and keep the history alive - it will stand out in a crowd. Bruce Berger bought 020 from HiPerf Motors and within 2 months had painted it beige because his daughters couldn't leave the house without getting stopped.
