Yesterday was pretty monumental day for us at Signature Auto/ Bosscars. We have been trying to rescue a 1966 Shelby GT350H that is still owned by the first owners after the Hertz rental program ended. It has been sitting outside since 1981 and the Ohio weather has taken its toll on this gem. We first heard about it 5 years ago and met with the owner to encourage her to get it out of the mud. We recently had contact again with the family and were able to make a plan. Wanting to be careful not to damage the car further or ever worse, break it in half, careful planning and evaluating the situation ensued over several weeks. With the expertise of Cal's Towing of Columbus, and our staff, we were able to safely extricate it from its home of 40 years. This car holds a lot of fond memories for the family and the hope is to restore it and be able to drive it once again.

40 years in the dirt? Not good

Very nice that it was rescued, but someone sure has a huge and $$$ job ahead of them.

Looks it has a head start on the "Ashes to Ashes, and Iron to Dust" situation.

"This car holds a lot of fond memories for the family"   Oh, really?  Makes you wonder how they treat their old folks and pets!

glad it was rescued... but the cynic in me  wonders why the fond memories didn't lead them to try to preserve it vs letting it sink into the mud?

LOL! So true!

I love romanticized stories as much as the next guy. 😉

Probably was just a old car and wasn't worth it to them to fix up But I'm sure people kept inquiring about buying it  now they know shelbys have value and might wanna cash in on that  but once reality hits on the cost to restore it well have to see what direction they go  from the sounds of it the car is pretty much gone if there worried about it breaking in two when moving it  probably should be parted out
