Quote from: tesgt350 on January 22, 2026, 03:45:39 PMHow early was JM's Shelby?  Did it have an S in the Ford VIN?  Did it have the scribed Z in the Shelby VIN

Jimmies cars VIN was :

 67402F2U00939

Let me also include a fun fact :

Ford Motor Company took over on April 27 or  4/27 or 427

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction....

Quote from: 68cobra427 on January 18, 2026, 01:08:32 PMAfter watching the video's and reading what is available out there I seen that Jim's little sister Anne is still alive. So I mailed here a letter and asked if she had the original title in here possession of Jim's things.

I received a reply yesterday. She does not! I notified Capecod mustang of this information. Letting all here know as well.

She did ask, If it was ever found or the title that she would like to know.

So, here we are, at yet another 6 pages of no "new" information that could have been done by either Googling Morrisons blue lady, ...or using the "Search feature" here on the forum.

Quote from: Don Johnston on January 23, 2026, 03:04:15 PMEven if found, the condition and originality of the parts would be suspect.  Forget the engine, the most valuable parts would be the doors!

Sorry about that... 8)

With ALL the speculation on Jimmies car, this is the only information that our SAAC registry has registered for it

Quote from: FL SAAC on January 23, 2026, 03:00:51 PM
Holy Moses we know must entertain different  conspericiese, theories or concepts to old Jimmies car disappearing.



Jimmie was driving recklessly and hit a telephone pole on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. After inspecting the damage, he walked to the Whiskey A-Go-Go and partied the night away. When Morrison returned, the car was gone.

Towed it stolen, who knows.

Then someone mentioned:

What PROOF do you have it was a totaled car in the 60s?

Great question!

Wouldn't it be something if a SAAC member owned it and just wasn't ready to discuss it or how he found it?

GADZOOKS BATMAN ! what does he mean?


Jimmie parked the car at Los Angeles International Airport while The Doors went on tour, and when he returned the car had been towed or stolen.

Again who knows

1971 newspaper add

There's also speculation that the car was sold and resold multiple times—with the owners unaware of what they had—before it was driven into the ground and eventually crushed in the 1980s.

Who, what when, where?
