Byots,

I agree with your philosophy, it shouldn't make much difference who put Shelby's parts on Shelby's cars, as long as it was done properly. I suppose the effect on market value lurks in the back of my mind somewhere, but since I'm not going to sell it, why should I care. As to finding the original owner, if Ned has any info on csx 3316, I'd love to have it, but the Registry indicates that I am the only known owner. Speaking of the Registry, is the info in that thing pretty much Gospel? It says that the car was invoiced to a dealer in Arizona, but everything I know about the car indicates it spent its life in California. Even the "427 Chassis Manual" that came with the car had Vels Ford penciled on the first page. Vels was a Ford dealer in Calif. located very near Shelby's facilities in El Segundo.

Dan, the registry is just a written collection of what is known and what is not. Since the last printing was 10 years ago, they very well could have new info on your car, or new info that would show a mistake in the last entry. All you can do is ask.
