If I am not mistaken, I believe my friend George Stauffer owned a few !

If all else fails;
1955-1957 t bird used them for numerous push on emblems.
And where accessible, >>> put non hardening sealant to seal >> have pics of that.

I may have a nos t bird emblem with the barrel clips, will have to look.

John

what is the part number on your starter?

Shelbymann1970,
Yes, Vito Camponaro. I question the last name spelling but its close, been 32 years ago.

I see Madonna in the news now, trying to fix old issues that seem to plague her.
Respectfully,
John

Thanks Bill.
You yourself are the envy of many because of all the fantastic cars you have owned and the vast decades long knowledge and contacts you posses.
Glad to be your friend Bill.

A clip from an interview;
I was told by the movie studios that Charlie Sheen, Sean, keifer Sutherland and a few other wild actors raised hell in this car.
She spent, at the time, 5000. for the stereo installation.
The excuse me>> fat lady has gotten on the stage !

For decades, Madonna and Penn's relationship has made headlines. It was explosive, emotionally charged, and layered. Nearly 40 years later, the Queen of Pop sings about a movie star with "deep blue eyes," a man seemingly threatened by her power and fame.

She never says Penn's name, but the clues are all there, including a specific reference to a Shelby Cobra. Madonna was famously rumored to have gifted Penn a Shelby when they married in 1985, making the lyric "He drove way too fast / Shelby Cobra, wasn't meant to last" hold a lot of weight.

I did help him get his first shelby.
Chris was a real friend.

I >>> think <<< I may have one that I took off of a B/W box.
Been 10 years since I saw it but I remember it was a good unit.
shift arms on trans, shift rods X 3, shifter box and shifter.  Arm/Lever probably needs re-chrome as-they all need
Nothing is pitted or bent.
Case box has no rust, rods still have that blackish dull tint from hardening
Rods, as well as the trans shift arms are ford part numbered too.
Same set up that fits a 65 Shelby aluminum box.

Will have to check to see if its still there,
$650. plus shipping and ins if I do.

I think I took a picture of it all bolted on a BW box.
I had many rods, so was my only avenue to make sure I had the right pieces.

Paul,
I will resend the pictures this morning.
Not sure what happened.
I believe this is correct ?

Guys,
Their are many more articles and docs for the car.
The restoration so far has been done by a noted MOPAR guy.
No questions or offers?
John

I wanted to add that their is a nice hardbound History book that was printed about two years ago. It covers this car for color, engine, trans, dates built etc.
Like a Shelby American book, no names though !
John

John, my apologies for missing your call(s), I've been out of the country. I did not know the intermeccanica Torino came originally with a Ford power plant let alone a Hipo 289. Very interesting car. Please do send the pictures to paulrmarvin@icloud.com.

Paul, did you get the pictures?

Guys,
I have over 50 pictures of the car.
One picture is a video, lets you hear the hipo run.
