Deja vu, like sitting inside of my Cougar. LOL
1 OF 3 EVER BUILT AND LISTED IN THE SHELBY REGISTRY AS BEING SO. IT WAS RESTORED TO ORIGINAL CONDITION IN THE MID 90'S AND GARAGE KEPT SINCE. HAS #'S MATCHING EXPERIMENTAL 351 CLEVELAND MOTOR. ALL SHELBY'S BUT THE PROTO-TYPE HAD WINDSOR MOTORS. THIS CAME FROM FACTORY WITH A" CLEVELAND" ALSO CAME WITH A COUGAR DASH, FROM FACTORY. THIS CAR WAS ASSIGNED TO FRED GOODELL, A FORD EXEC AND USED TO DEVELOP A FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM THAT FORD NEVER PUT INTO PRODUCTION. THAT SYSTEM WAS REMOVED AND FITTED WITH A BIG PORT FOUR BARREL FOR STREET USE. I WAS TOLD THAT ALL THESE PROTO-TYPES WERE THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN DESTROYED BUT THIS ONE MADE IT OUT OF THE CRUSHER. SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS RARE GEM, IT HAS BEEN DISPLAYED IN THE ALL FORD NATIONALS MAGAZINE AND AT THE CARLYLE PA ALL FORD EVENT HONORING SHELBY'S AND EARLY FORD MUSCLE. (SEE PICTURES ON DISPLAY) IT ALSO WON A PLAQUE AT THE SHELBY NATIONALS, IN ONTARIO CALIFORNIA SUPER SPEEDWAY EVENT, AND AT THAT TIME SIGNED BY THE MAN HIMSELF, " CARROLL SHELBY " WHEN HE SAW THIS CAR HE SAID, "THATS THE ONE FRED GOT OUT FROM THE FACTORY "
