Re: Shelby GT500 - Who's got one?

I don't have one but I have a question? my fast back has 5R070 on the door do all fast backs have an R in their numbers?

 

5R070

The serial number on my 1965 fast back door panel is 5R070, it has a bumper delete and the original bumpers in the front where flared, but I threw them away, I bought it from a family that had keep it in there garage for 25 years, and then there son sold it to me while his father was away, it had been in his name since he was a child. It is in pretty bad shape it has been rolled it looks like the roof has been welded back on and it has been stripped of every thing. there is a battery post in the trunk and a place where you can see a battery box has been cut out. There are two small holes above the tail light and it looks like there was a roll cage at one time, you can see where the welds were. can any one give me any information where I can look up this car and find out any history on it. I started reading information on R models yesterday and it really sounds to me that this car fits the description. All the original parts are gone and the engine I was told is a k block with the heads missing. The father had had another set of heads forged on which I was told brought the horse power to 550. does anyone no how I can find this serial number information?
