A new video released yesterday by Jerry Heasley on Youtube. He purchased #2061

Thanks for posting and congrat's to Heasley for finally getting a '67 Shelby.
Great another has been found and will be back on the road!
(Jeff Y, tell Jerry the grille lights on '67's are High-Beams not driving lights ;-0 )
Jeff Y. must have just been teasing Jerry because the front nose is a genuine piece correct for 2061's production period.The front nose piece is a replacement consequence of the front end collision evidence however it is genuine . Besides other genuine vs repro details in various locations on the nose the fiberglass material on a later nose piece is the chop gun style and not the weave mat style. A early late thing.
It did look like it had the 31 spline axles still in it, And some sort of double rib 9", just couldn't tell if SPEC or Daytona support or not from the video.
Marty Rupp called me after they got it and is looking for some hubcaps because it is apparently a hubcap car. Jerry got the wheels but no hubcaps.
Great find! Good luck to all involved

I saw those steel wheels being moved and wondered about that as a possibility??

That too, as there were variations in the materials used over the production run.
It will be a relatively expensive restoration given missing items ,extent of restoration needed and that Jerry doesn't typically turn wrenches . However it should be a treasure trove of How to and update content for Jerry's You Tube video's.
A business expense!
Well done video...should be a good project!
Nice.....how long ago was this?

First couple days in Nov 2022.
Great story. Pretty sure the red 67 is Chris Browns (RIP) former car when Jerry did a photoshoot in Tulsa, around 2010 or so??
Jerry's a really good guy. He had a Shelby 289 roadster when I met him. Good to see he finally got what he wanted.

Nope. The red 67 that Jerry recently bought was a barn find that had been apart since the early 80's. All of the info is there in the video.
congratulations J.H.

Bob, I'm not talking about the one Jerry just bought, talking about the red one in the pics. The background etc looks like the same area where he did the photoshoot of Chris's car for a magazine.
No big deal either way, looks great!

I have been watching. I think old Jerry is getting an education.
Cant wait to see how it ends up.

Me too. ;)
I offered to sell him a correct top and bottom air cleaner and he wanted to pay about 1/3 the current price of one.

Funny because he had a few extra parts he wanted to sell (intake and a few other things
)and he was about market price times 2.
I'm sure when he wants to sell but the other way around when he wants to buy.
Roy
Im sure there is some financial realizations setting in. Doing this to a car today is a six figure deal, anyway you slice it. Wish him the best.
Congratulations Jerry..... It took awhile but you finally got one ;) Many miles of smiles!!!
I hope he drives it!
I just saw his finished car in person when I dropped mine off. It's awesome. Very nice!

Good for him.
Congratulations Jerry! Its great to see one restored and document it for us all to see as well! Helps keep the hobby going! Seems like he really deserves the car and I hope he enjoys it. Hoping everyone keeps the hobby strong chipping in helping source parts and helping each other in general, thats what the cars were about and should still be about making friend helping your buddy finish and find his dream car. Life is short lets not forget what the cars are about and for. Cant wait to see the photos of the finished car here!

First one of the series that I watched and although some good info some is misleading. It still surprises me when someone goes to this much trouble for a video that everyone will see including informed enthusiasts and doesn't double check their facts first. It is not like there are not numerous threads on accepted methods and looks on this forum There are a number of things that are off in the video from what is considered concours correct . If you are copying things from this video It would be very prudent to double check the way the parts are finished if you don't want grief later. For example his idea of what a absolutely correct upper control arm looks like and mine are quite a bit different, rivets are done wrong and should be waffle style on the top , boots are different then factory or even the closer repros that most vendors sell. Proper application of rivets and a more correct looking boot would be a typical expectation in concours. They would be minor deductions in DIV II concours but deductions all the same. The same goes for the spring perch which should be bare metal not black and the bushing cross bars was bare steel and not bright shiny zinc .I almost missed the glued rubber pads on the perch for the coil spring that were used on later 70's era service parts but not used on assemblyline. That is something that can be easily addressed by stripping paint and or stripping zinc off cross bar or painting a more appropriate finish but you have to have the insight to know what is the right look first.
The ID paint mark on the rear leaf's is in the wrong place. Things like paint daubs are not typically deducted if they are not applied BUT if ones are applied in a obvious wrong spot they are deductions. Those are just a few things but there are more. It is a good effort but if you don't want many missteps one should verify with what the consensus is on this forum first. Just a few of my observations others may have different ones.
Looks like someone has looked at allot of magazine articles and online ones and borrowed from multiple sources (different plants and years) Reason for allot of the markings being incorrect or positioned differently than 67 San Jose. Yellow axle end, axle writing, big X .......... Painted front coil springs, bolt in cross member, backing plate finish .... will stop there
Did find it surprising that the black pinch weld overspray was not reproduced on the floor pans. 90% didn't end up on the pinch weld and hod to go somewhere ::) Happy to see the body color rear wheel wells :)
Don't mean to be picking the effort and car apart just, as above, concerned that someone else will copy the practices and details from the video and in turn possibly creating some disappointment for that person later at some point.
The idler arm was assembled wrong as the arm off the shaft is pointing downward should be pointing upward so that makes the draglink hang down on rh side as it should be level. Have seen these idler arms assembled wrong before on rebuilt idlers but this arm looks aftermarket so the company making them either made a mistake or someone took it apart and assembled it wrong. Just sayin because the rh steering and rh tierods will be in a bind.
Thanks i forgot about this
