    I remember hearing about this car decades ago before it achieved its later fame. This website
    http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1082886_original-shelby-1967-gt500-super-snake-heads-to-auction

    says the GT500 is headed for a Mecum auction in May but I never heard the story of when it was found -- did this one ever go through a period when its background wasn't known and people thought it was just a custom GT500 so the owner was able to buy it for a song? The story says Richard Ellis purchased it with only 26,000 miles on the clock so I guess it didn't have a chance to get too beat up at that mileage, but I wonder if he knew it had been in the Goodyear promotional movie, etc.?

    You really need to spend the money and get yourself a registry.

    Also, you can pop in at the saacforum and see that the thresad already answered your question. But I suspect you knew that already :laf:
