In 1970 it moved to 9th Ave and 11st SW. Today it is located at 5901 Weaselhead Rd, Tsuut'ina. 

Still in operation

Not far from there is Gasoline Alley Museum:

Continuing our ultimate search of 1960s Ford Dealerships that sold SHELBYs, we found another local site.

It was the Warren Wooten Ford Dealership in Cocoa Beach Floridaland, that eventually became Paradise and today is Cocoa Ford.

We could not locate any early photos of  Warren Wooten Wooten Ford.

We did find this SHELBY
Cobra CSX 2344 was originally delivered to Warren Wooten Ford of Cocoa, Florida, finished in Princess Blue over black leather interior.

It was sold new to Robert Lindauer Sr. on 24 July 1964, who traded in a 1963 Corvette convertible on this Cobra

As more information becomes available we will post updates of this and other early Ford Dealerships that sold SHELBYs

And if you have additional information, feel free to post it right here.
