If I can echo those sentiments. A wonderful opportunity.

A couple more.

If you make contact with him, I would like to connect, and relate my story of sitting in it in the basement of Metro in 1971.

Up here in Canada, the cars were just that much more expensive. An old friends father was the sales manager for a local Ford/Shelby dealership. He told me his dad hated the high performance cars. They were expensive, and very slow to move through inventory.
I have told this story before here, when I bought my new 71 Mustang at his dealership, they had three 70 Boss 9's leftovers. Two grabber green/black, one pastel blue/black. In 71, $6,500! Twice the price of my 71. Could not move them. If only.

If I can add my congratulations. A perfect addition for the time.

If they can't get that right...

If the car is in Canada, I would be especially careful

With all due respect I am pretty certain there are more than one Canadian SAAC members (not me) who could correctly evaluate the car. Also, provided all the registration and documentation is solid, it should be no more difficult than any other 68 vehicle to repatriate this car south if that is desired.

Mecum looks like a Shelby dealers showroom. Something for everyone.

Here in Alberta Calgary's Shelby dealer was Metro Ford. Still operating under the same banner. In Edmonton it was Healy Motors, where my 68 originated. In 1996 it was sold, and the name changed to Sherwood Ford.

I don't own a trailer, so if my cars go anywhere, they go under their own steam.

Sadly, my cars see little road time. A beautiful evening though here in Calgary, so stretched the legs of the 69. Ran like a charm.

This is for a non Blue Oval product. Best of show at the annual High River Classic 2022, the largest show in southern Alberta. It weighs a ton. You cannot view this attachment.You cannot view this attachment.

Thanks for sharing. Takes me back to great memories of these cars in the day.

I have always thought this was one of the great nostalgic pieces to the cars of the day. Anyone could go into their Ford dealer, and if they were willing to wait, could order a special paint on an everyday car. My father ordered a special paint color on his 64 Galaxy 500.
The German's will still do this...for a price.

Sweet!
A lot of love in 27 years.
