Bill,

The vehicle history you put in is for 6S274 which is a 1966 Shelby and not this car which is a 1965 Shelby GT350 5S274.

This car (5S274) shows:

Date received at Shelby 5/13/65. Date work started 5/17/65; date work finished 5/21/65. Shipped to Warren-Anderson Ford (Riverside, CA) 7/7/65. Purchased by the original owner Warren H. Nevilee (Corona, Ca) 7/22/65. Purchased by Al French (Jefferson, La) '70 from a junkyard in Riverside, CA with no motor or transmission. Raced in SCCA GT-1, painted dark Green/Gold stripes with a 289 engine until '74 when replaced with a Boss 351. Subject of many articles written by French titled, "The Budget Racer" in The Marque '72-'76. Last raced '80 and stored until '89. Purchased by Don Buck Sr. (Slidell, La) '89 and rebuilt for open track. Painted AMC "Big Bad Green" with fender flares and trans-am rubber.

I assume he restored this car sometime in the 1990s or is the car he is selling 5S241?????????

The Registry also shows Mr. Buck SR. also owns car 5S241 which also shows a history purchased by Mr. Buck Sr (La) in '83 with multiple show wins (competition class) including Concours class at SAAC-12, 15, 20 and featuured in Mustang Illustrated 6/87 and Mustang Times in 4/89. I assume this is the car he is keeping?

Base on your email for the owner it looks like these are his cars.
Always wanted one of these and after being in Tulsa, OK last week-end and seeing the Vintage Races with a bunch of these cars the desire is even greater. Always have to sell a car to buy one however.........
