OneTrickPony Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 About 30 years ago, I noticed a 69 Shelby GT500 sitting behind a paint and body shop not far from my house. After it sat there for several months, I stopped one day and asked the shop owner about it. He said the guy who owned it had brought it in for a paint job (it had a new black lacquer job) but had gotten busted for drugs and didn't have the money to pay for it. I kept checking with him to see what was up and the car owner eventually went to prison for a bunch of years. The shop owner said he was afraid of the guy and did not want to risk filing a lien on the car and selling it. The car ended up sitting there for years until I moved out of the area.A couple of years later, I was in the neighborhood and swung past to see if it was still there. The shop had closed and the lot was cleared of all cars. I never found out what happened to the Shelby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sledsel Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) This was found in a shed, hauled to the scrapyard where I found it. I brought it home with me. Edited October 23, 2015 by Sledsel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
