He has spoken to me about it before and also told me the VIN, whether by accident or not, I don't know.

Why is the vin number blocked out on the registration as seen above? its certainly blocked out to limit the proliferation of that #, if the vin of a valuable missing mustang with 40 years of unknown history was bouncing around the internet there would be half a dozen lost morrison shelbys that would turn up and be sold off to suckers. Hell there are probably some cars out there with parts that could be sourced to that car obviously if someone wanted the vin they could find it, but why make fraud easier? The Car Hunter says:

A. The car was wrecked, frame was bend and or the entire body was bent. Now we have to remember this. Mechanics alot of times, will total out a car even though the car is repairable. So what we could be looking at is a case of the mechanic and or body man telling jim that "hey, look, the car can't be repaired, there has been to much damage from the last wrecks, we will have to total it out" Its also possible that the body man or mechanic, after having worked on the car so much, finaly decided that hey, this dude drinks like a fish, drives like a maniac, and can't keep this thing on the road, he wrecks it again, I am gonna total it out. Probably save his life. Record company, who fit alot of jims bills, probably had the same attitude. His wife, also, probably had the same attitude. So, it is possible that the vehicle itself is still in existance. Damaged, or repaired. Or, its been crushed into a nice small midnight mist blue cube and long ago melted down for scrap. Even then though, with only 47 comeing out of the plant. Anyone would have atleast yaked the engine and transmission before scrapping it. Step one, find the engine and transmission. The rest of the story on the car would soon follow. It is possible its sitting somewhere in the midwest under a stack of hay or in a dirty old barn. Someone should get to work on finding the car.

It's weird seeing how different the country used to look, not so long ago. Well, it was kind of the same, but still different! Love all the old cars. As for Jim's Shelby, maybe he's still driving it around over in France, or wherever he supposedly is secretly living these days ...o.0... Wow, that’s some pretty nostalgic footage.

One less only makes the rest more valuable. Besides some rich celebrity asshole will just squirrel it away. Enjoyed the clip. Hope they never find it.
