Title: 67 Shelby Shipping
Post by: texas swede on July 06, 2020, 09:40:48 PM
Hi Guys,
The picture shows me at Terminal Island in L.A. packing some parts into the trunk before driving the car into a container for shipment to Sweden. This was the first week of June 1977 and I had just bought the car in Huntington Beach.
10 years later I moved to Texas but the car stayed in Sweden.
Was young and beautiful then, now I am only and.

Cool photo!  What condition was your car in when it made it to the destination?  Any damage?

The car had no damage when I picked it up at the harbor of Gothenburg, Sweden and drove it to Stockholm.
