    I have seen pictures of a blue Quarterhorse Mustang with a revised '69 Shelby nose, I think there were three of them, one is registered as a Boss 429 but am puzzled as to why they existed. Were they Ford thinking maybe we can sell a Boss 429 engined Shelby? Do the keepers of the Shelby American papers show it was a Shelby project or a Ford project? Did they have anything to do with bunkie Knudsen and that's why they disappeared? (Knudsen was hired from GM but ticked off HFII who fired him, creating the immortal line "Knudsen is bunk."

    I dont think they were a Shelby project.

    There were two cars.

    They never "disappeared"

    Both are around today
