Jim Morrison's 67 GT500 AFTER 1969

[roddster]

  Of course, if past history has lead us to believe:  If some well moneyed current or brand new owner has it, he can wittle any story about the car he wants too.  We are supposed to swallow it.

THE END...that was what an LA detective who had first hand knowledge told us many years ago happened to this particular car. We had posted this on the original SAAC website.

That is why we are adamant, that if it does show up it will be the very best replica ever presented to mankind. No one, will be able to tell the difference. Everyone will be nodding and applauding it's return from the ashes.

THE END,and you only put the back plate on the car so it is "instructive" as well.....

NOT JIMS would work too?

What do  you all think of....D.O.A.

[68krrrr]

I like THE END I'll give it a try

As I was "fermenting" over night, a vision came to me. I was in a desert and an Indian ( oh boy, sorry about that ment to say native American) came up to me and handed  me these three tags for Jimmys non existing car:

NO PULSE

X-PIRED

NUTRLZD

But we still like D. O. A.  best

I'm glad to see this topic is still going along with all the varied opinions. This was my intention for my original post: to keep the dialog going.

I would be curious to know what the LA Detective actually said about the car with first hand knowledge.

When I hear this type of thing it makes me think of what Jim's bodyguard Tony Funches was quoted in a story about the search for this car.  "I've told everyone the same thing for years. It got towed after it was totaled. It went to the shredder and is lost forever to early recycling. That's what junkyards do, did do, will do."

Jim's former brother-in-law Alan Graham, told the story about the car disappearing from LAX in 1969. So there are two people close to Jim Morrison whose stories can be disputed by the for sale adds.

To the question about the license plate being used on another 1967 GT500. It could be entirely possible but I feel unlikely. What I have learned is at that time the license plates were sold with the vehicle. This is how I learned that car collectors can track a car's provenance in California by searching for sale adds via Newspapers.com.

The last story I heard about this particular car around the time of my OP, is this. The car still exists. It was purchased long before it was ever known to be Jim Morrison's car. It was sitting outside for years and still may be. It is in very poor condition. The person who owned the car has passed on and a car collector has been trying to buy the car for years from the family. This was told to me second hand but was told in a time-frame that the information was current at that time of my OP.

I have since been waiting for any type of further news to emerge toward that story to prove it so. Maybe the scenario about the car being reproduced and documented could be true. Maybe I am naive, but I have faith that the Shelby experts will be able verify or disprove any car that shows up purported to be the Blue Lady.

One last thought. The known registration states Jim Morrison C/O Johnson and Harband. So who actually owned the car?

Answer to question #1 and #2. Who cares?

Answer to question #1 and #2. Who cares?

Keith, not everyone hates Jim Morrison.

agent provocateur

I don't hate him either.  However, he's certainly no hero. That's all I was saying.  I did think enough to take a picture of his headstone while I was in France.

As for Chris: I'm not in Canada. We don't live under an oppressive government federally speaking. That means the first amendment still applies.
As a caveat: My favorite band is Canadian.   I have seen RUSH 14 times.  So all isn't bad.  I  just don't care for druggies.
Oh, and have a nice day!

Well, Chris. I know you're a pretty smart guy.. For a Canadian.   However, I wasn't linking the song but the group to Canucktada.  My favorite is RUSH.
Yes, Agent Provocateur was sung Foreigner, and of course we know that the Agent Provocateur in this case had nothing to do with either of the aforementioned. It was a underhanded comment. I'm pretty smart for a white guy too.
