I'm afraid not. At the time that I bought the stuff, no one (including Hoppe's mechanic) knew of the wherabouts of the car. In any case, I was more focused on the pieces that I wanted for CSX3121; the Halibrands ended up on my Cobra, couple with a pair of 9-1/2" that I traded for the following year. They were on the car when it appeared in Automobile Quarterly and Rich Taylor's "Great Cars of the Postwar Era", and when it was sold to Dave Ruocco in 1975. The softop (which never actually used) went with the car as well.

The shortblock went to my old friend John Schroeder, who, if he's still breathing, probably has it stashed somewhere along with all his other Ford parts.

The rest were sold at the 1975 Shelby Owners' Association (later to morph into the SAAC) convention.
