The Marti Reports are really great for Fords, but they weren't even used for establishment of the original options on 1968 Shelbys (owner input was assumed correct in many cases). I actually had a 1968 that was listed as an original red, automatic car - but the Marti Report cinfirmed that it was originally a Green, 4 speed. Each Registrar (year) established the base data differently. The fact that the initial publishing wasn't 100% accurate didn't stop the process. A great car like the subject of this discussion would really stand tall in a public registry. cars without detailed histories would not stand tall - IMHO that's the way it should be.

- OK, I'll get off of my soap box in favor of a public registry. I'm just thankful that the organizers of this site have provided such a great forum. I know that it must have been a lot of work.
