98SVT - was 06GT

If I remember it was on Pershing at Campbell in Playa Del Rey. I think was while CS was living in Marina Del Rey.

Thanks. Any idea where he lived in the Marina?  And for what years? 

He lived in Bel Air in the '80s, and up until his death.

From about 1982-88 (or maybe longer) he had the Chrysler Shelby Performance Center in Santa Fe Springs, then in '88-89 added the Shelby Autos assembly lines (CSX and Dakota) in Whittier.   I was at both places a lot.  (I worked for him at the Whittier location.)  He had an office at both facilities.  After the Whittier production stopped, I'm pretty sure he moved his main office to the Gardena facility.
