    Hello all..coming over here from "other" forums..see my sig:eek:..so my car reputation has me in some trouble..guy that did some work on my house 6 years ago walks into my shop with the usual story..got a car in the garage...been there for along time...was my Fathers..I know you are into cars..blah blah blah..anyway he claims its a 68 GT 350 fastback..hes no car guy but says car has GT 350 on the fender.....so I'm here on a fact finding mission...going to see the car over the weekend..he swears it has not been outside in 30 years....again..we'll see..a wild goose chase like this netted me my COPO chevelle:D....so I'll be snooping around asking some questions..and if I'm really lucky I may find something unique

    Not many unknowns in NJ, a few in the barn/shed/garage, but still known about. Get a shot of the door data tag, and VIN plate under the hood if you can as the 69 registrar lives in NJ and is getting ready to send in his files for publication in the latest registry. Again, pictures, pictures, pictures....


    Good luck.

    Where in NJ are you located? (County will do if you do not want to give out actual location in public) I can hook you up with some pretty knowledgeable folks from either the GSRMC (Garden State Region Mustang Club), or the South Jersey Mustang Club if you like.


    Yours in Fords,

    Bill S.

    PS: If the car is in Hackettstown/Mansfield, it is already a known entity :laf:

    Make sure you get the Shelby number. We can tell you a lot about the car from that four digit number

    Figured they would be known here.:)..have we met..its quite possible our paths have crossed. Lived in the area my entire life..use to do alot of local shows/somerville back in the late 90's early 2000's..always with chevelles and camaros..dont do as much now..mostly bigger shows super chevy, MCACN, etc

    Excellent,

    Can't wait to see the pics. Ted F. (Ed's neighbor) states that we have met before. Personally I'm great with putting faces to cars, but terrible at remembering peoples names. :laf:
