It is Pletcher.... apparently dealer was sold around 69-70. They apparently sold lots of Shelbys and even had the last 6 of the original Cobras.

Marti report says Pletcher Ford Sales, Inc., The Fairway, Jenkintown, Pa.

I remember seeing a white Boss 429 at the Doylestown car show probably 25 years ago (around the time I bought the power top setup from you). It was unrestored and I thought the guy said he had 2 Boss 429's so that was probably him. I thought I saw a 68 Shelby for sale locally about 15-20 years ago.

Kool find, all Shelbys are special cars. The GT500s have some interesting history as not all received a 428ci Police Intercepter engine as they were supposed to.

Thanks !! Yup...that's what the Marti report says !! Fred Bastian?? 97? I have the bill of sale/ registration reciept from 85.. Maybe 77? Hmmmm ?

[iluv69s]

Ah, the registry from 97?? Does it say the year they owned the car? Or is that 97?

[Charley Lillard]

Yes that is from the 97 registry. Does not say when they owned it. You could order the latest registry.

Thanx again !!

So just got off the phone with Fred Bastian !! Unbelievable !! He's 75 yrs old. Bought car from original owner 10 mins from here for 2500 bucks in the late 70's (not sure the year) !! He said it was a great investment as he sold it for 3500 !! He realky got emotional talking about this car and his other mustangs he had back in the day including a 67 Shelby and how he sold his 2 Boss 429s for 20k each! He could not believe someone from Texas found out he had the cars and offered him the cash !! Hopefully I can get the car roadworthy and bring it by to show him. He is not in good health apparently.

Thanks Charley and SYC
