The Registry doesn't list Fred Johnson as an owner of CSX2169. However, it does state that Fred Johnson of Shelby American's part department was believed to have helped Carlos Garcia (who purchased the car in 1965) accessorize and add a number of 427 features to the car.

Incidentally, it appears that the car had an interesting start being used for "sales promotion use" in the Northwest NJ Ford District Office (i.e., ridden hard and put away wet). After a year in the aforementioned position, the car was returned to Shelby in late '64 with a Ford work order authorizing over $2,000 to recondition the car. This refurbishment was never completed and Carlos Garcia purchased the car "as-is" for $1,730 in 1965.

The last owner listed is Frank Surroz (of Visalia, CA)--who appears to have purchased the car in 1995.
