An interesting and rather funny thread. I think I will just skip all of the rest and buy mine straight from Nigeria.

You took the words right out of my mouth, I am concerned about the legality of this type of transaction... what is the vehicle was involved in some sort of crime ans subsequently disposed off in the quarry????? Thread lightly with this. Just my 2 cents on the matter.

Trying to sell a stolen vehicle or parts of it does not go over well with authorities. Also, some states have laws that prohibit trying to sell an ID tag without the car...

Pull the car out, document with pics then see what folks say. Right now I see nothing but a shake down looking for a sucker.

This is about as true as the the invitations to the weekly mixer with the space aliens at Area 51.

While we did have mixers with the aliens, they are long since dead. They were two great pilots/astronauts. Danz was a good dancer, but Crensha had two left feet. They both were very good bowlers.

[edit] Area 51 is a decoy along with project Blue Book and Roswell. They are great stories for the conspiracy theorists, but Crensha and Danz were never there.

Then you get the Vulcan Mind Meld and end up writing a check!

Ok I wasn't goin to tell anyone BUT I did get a hold of him. He was only 50 miles away. I gave him a $2000 cash "finders fee" before we went down to see the car. Cold up here an the damm water was COLD !!! Car had all the Shelby parts on it. Someone must have made a clone out of it. Hipo 289 with an auto. Hood was missing but he said he thought it was in another spot near by. The aluminum parts all looked good. It was only in maybe 40/50' of water.
We were goin all around the car when suddenly he got caught up in something by the cowl.. It was a jagged hole. All of a sudden he lost his air line !! I bailed out an ran !! Stopped by his car an got my cash back. Thank God because the wife thought I was crazy
I wouldn't go back there. I am sure He is still down there so I guess this thread is DONE.
Sorry guy's.. Wish I had better news.

Stay tuned for Rick and Marty Lagina's new series on the History channel as they explore the "Shelby Hole" on "The Curse of Uxbridge."

This mystery car has to be a Street Beast with a Mustang vin.

It makes perfect sense why it's at the bottom of a quarry.
