It was an overcast day in Seattle, but I took my '66 GT to the Mustang Roundup in Bellevue today. In the row for Cobras, which had a few kit cars in it, I spotted a slightly tattered, red wide-hip roadster with Sunburst wheels and undercar exhaust. Rolling on some '75-era first generation BFG Radial TA's. Hmmmmm. Sure enough, an untouched time capsule that I'd never seen before. I was able to chat up the amiable (other than regular loud requests to PLEASE DON'T TOUCH IT! ITS ALUMIUNUM) owner and get the story. He bought it as a 19 or 20 year old in 1969...and has had it ever since. You will see the interior has some wear from this big guy getting in and out of this little car, but the leather is great and it is breathtakingly honest. It probably hasn't been detailed since the 80's. He likes to keep a low profile, but his friend convinced him to bring it out for a few hours. I'm so glad he did. 427 4V. For those of you grabbing your Shelby Registry, its #3340, and he is Mr. Anonymous
