VERY cool Dave. A friend of mine bought a 67 Shelby NEW from Jack Loftus Ford. His was also a green 67 that he has vintage pics of. He does not know what ever became of the car though.
I myself owned an original 69 Mach 1 Mustang that I bought from its 30 year owner that was sold new at Jack Loftus as well. I will send the pics to Bruce for him to post as they are cool because one even shows the original dealer decal!
Milobrook Ford was also a Chicago area Shelby dealer.
As a matter of interest Jack Loftus sold his dealer in 1981 and it became Willowbrook Ford where I worked for a year and a half.
[/ QUOTE ]The first Owner was William and Alice Koenig. and I must state that the Pictures of the Car in Beat up condition are from 1987. that is How Bill's Brother in Law got the Car. I got the car in the condition it is shown in the Painted Pretty pics!! I do however have it up on Jack Stands, Cragars are off and Original 10 Spokes are going Back on amongst a list of Winter time activity I have planned before the Spring time unveiling...! the Car is Shelby number #3115. Built on 6/28/67, 33 days behind Schedule!! Got to love these Marti Reports! for those that are unaware of the Head light situation, these cars originally had two Head lights mounted in the center of the grille. California was the first DMV to cry foul folowed by several other States. Shelby moved the Lights on cars going to those states to the Outside edge of the Grille. Thus the term Outboards and the others are called Inboards. also My car and any other Outboard Shelby car has a Thin "Z" stamped before the VIN on the Shelby Tag as well.
So where is the Jack Loftus Memorobilia I am certain you have retained??
Milo Brooke, INC./ CHICAGO, University FORD in Champaign and Sexton FORD in Moline were the Other SHELBY/FORD Dealers in Illinois.
