A Reunion 51 Years In The Making...............

[67411F--0100-ENG.]

Hello Everyone,

Well since it is already on YouTube (if you know where to look) and someone else put it on Facebook; the first three production GT500s will be reunited and on display in January at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale.  Cars 0100, 0131, and 0139 have not been together since 0139 left the Shelby Automotive Engineering Department in late 1968.  The three Candy Apple Red '67s will be displayed with the Green Hornet and the first 2020 GT500.  Hopefully, nothing will happen between now and then to prevent this historic reunion from taking place.  Looking forward to this, and hopefully it will be a lot of fun.

Thanks,
Eric

The first 1967 Shelby fastback 500, the first 1967 Shelby hardtop and last but not least the first 1967 Shelby convertible.

Holy cow Eric, this is HUGE!  I always refer to the three cars as the the '3 Redhead Sisters'.  The coupe, convertible and fastback are such an important part of the '67 GT500 (and Mustang) history, yet most folks are unaware they are even related.

Can't wait to see all three cars back together again.  Hopefully there will be a 1:64 scale set of them by Auto World or someone else.

I can't wait to see them in person.  The Green Hornet was there last year.  I have never seen either of the others in person.

Hello,

Due to unforeseen circumstances, this reunion will not be taking place in Scottsdale next month.  Hopefully, it will happen sometime in 2020, but there are no guarantees.

Thanks,
Eric
