(meaning a car used by executives in-house, like Chevy COPO cars) returned to Shelby in LA in '65 as a used car sold in '65 to Taylor American Automotive Enterprises in LA in "as-is" condition. Next known owner is Frank Jurin of Santa Rosa CA who advertised it for sale in 10/72 for $6,000, didn't sell. For sale again in '74. Acquired by Bob Epstein, Piedmont CA who sold in '75 Car now has Chrome wires dyed (Blk) int and flares and Boss 302 asking $14,000. End of known ownership. Presumably your guy bought it from Epstein and put it away.

Kurtmart,
Thanks so much. That was the history I was hoping to uncover. I never cease to be amazed by the twisting and frequently obscure paths these cars take as they move forward in time.
Each one is an epic story in itself. Thanks again for shedding additional light on the route this particular car took.
