The main problem with rebuilding the car seems to be the lack of doors and a hood. Do you know enough about the car to do a State title search and see if the prior owners can be found? Can't imagine why they would let the car go w/o the doors and hood - probably laying around someones garage, attic or warehouse collecting dust. If there is anyone near you who does metal work, building a tube structrure and aluminum skins for both like the originals would be a nice touch.

Tried the state title thing.. vin'ed in CA.. Just got the application back from CA.. No info since 1988. only files to 2006.. can be copied. I will check to see if there is a archives or something.

Car is a salvage car.. I expect a theft car.. they stole what you see missing. I guess. I have to repair it top get a salvage title..

I think it's not worth the effort to build them. I just don't have the time or the expertise.
have a friend who knows someone at Shelby , here I vegas. Brought me some newer Shelby stuff today.. and a Heuer dashboard monte carlo timer .. cool.. Brand new too.
Anyways.. he said he should have a door and a hood to try soon..
