Are all of the R-models restored? Any photos in progress form?

I think there are more then a few "R's" that are only original in the VIN tag?

I would tend ( in Part ) to agree with you Doug.
Maybe not >> only original by Vin>> but pretty dam close

Well, you can usually save most of the bolts.

001 was restored when Larry Zane owned it. He had Rick Titus drive it in a few vintage races. Rick told me the other day that the current owner has it sitting in a carport and has become the new crazy chick that owned the coupe nominee.

Only met her twice - should have been in an institution or at least heavily medicated.

001 is sitting in storage. Has been in the same spot for many years. I have personally seen the car a few times and as late as 2019. Still in the same condition of when Larry restored it. I was very honored to be able to see the car and had a surreal moment because I realized that this is a great big World and of all places, I was standing right beside the Shelby Mustang carrying the 001 Serial Number. Wow!

It is a big part of the history that Mustangs still enjoy today. After the engine failure at Monterey it sat in the corner of Rick Titus' shop for quite awhile. Larry came out from NJ and we stuck a fresh engine in it - he bought 2 I stored the one he got from Randy Gillis for probably 5 years before he picked it up. When we started to clean the car I sprayed the wheels and 2 of them had cracks where the spokes met the rims. One had cracks around 3 of the spokes - maybe it was a good thing it blew up rather than crashing due to a broken wheel. They were original magnesium. American hadn't started remaking the aluminum ones yet.
