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!

Yep.

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.
