Today it is named Holler Ford.

Some before and after photos.

Tell us do you have any knowledge of any 1960s Ford Shelby Dealerships that are still operating today, possibly under a new ownership and name?

Don't be shy, share what you know!

What about  Koons Ford located at 1051 East Broad Street, Falls Church, Virginia.

Another major provider and seller of 1965 through 1970 Shelbys.

Galpin Ford was a big Shelby dealer. Yes, Galpin is still in business. My GT-500 came from them.

Was it Galpinized?
I always buy my X Plan cars from them. No hassle like some dealers and they give you every additional discount/rebate they can find. One time we got there expecting to write the check for the full amount and he said just give me 10 grand and pay it off with the first payment - I got you an extra $1,000 off for financing. Check their inventory online - call my guy (the GM) give him the VIN show up a couple hours later spend 10-15 minutes signing the papers and we're done.

Ordered my '69 GT-350 from Koon's Ford on February 27, 1969. I was standing on the lot on May 6th at 4:30 in the afternoon when it came in on the truck. Still have it and it's original and unrestored.

Two here back East are still operating Ford dealerships.

In NJ, Watchung Ford is still a Ford dealer, but re-sold so many times, no clue on the current name. - Update - Liccardi

In Allentown PA, Gilboy Ford is still owned by the same Family.

The last 'new' Ford I bought was from Vista Ford, in Woodland Hills. Sorry, but Galpin plays way too many games. My family (and I) did buy from them in the past. I'm sure Beau has made it a better experience since his dad Bert ran the place. My worthless two cents...
