OK PV. CSX 2346 Silver/Black int

Shipped to LA on SS Pacific Fortune 3/64. Invoiced by Shelby to Vel's Ford Sales Torrance CA. Car picked up by Vel's employee at Shelby. Remained unsold as of 8/64 Ownership unclear until late 70's. Next recorded owner T Micheal Speidel MN Repainted maroon. Car appeared at SAAC-8 Dearbron MI 7/83 taking 1st place in concours Cobra division and pictured in Shelby American #42. Purchased in mid 80's by George Gillette Nashville TN and appeared at Christies Monterey 8/90 where it was purcahsed by collector Jerry J Moore Houston TX. Then Barrett-Jackson 1/96 Scottsdale and bought by an anonymous buyer from Petersburg IL ( your friend?) Last known plate is "REAL ONE".

Unusual part is the close up of the tag in the engine bay says 1965 Cobra. It's really a '64!

Hope this helps.
