HISTORY:
67412F2A03217 was sold new by Frank Cate Ford in Elk Grove, CA. 1-30-68 to Tom Gallagher of Fallon, NV.

I am the third owner. This is unusual, most Shelby's change hands frequently. The car number is 03217 the 67 Shelby's stopped at 03225. This is a very late model Shelby. The car was purchased January 30, 1968 by the original owner from Frank Cate Ford in Elk Grove, CA. The car is in Fallon NV till 1985. It was purchased by Barry Goodman from Las Vegas, When Barry purchased the car it was painted Brittany Blue with a single stripe down the middle (have pictures). He had the car painted back to the original Night mist Blue (paint job is about 8 years old but I have had re-touched three times, most recently I had the hood, door jams and front fascia re-sprayed. There is only one small rust hole located in the left rear inner fender in the back which is approximately 1” X ½”. I believe it has been this way for over 20 years.

Drive train:
In May-June 2001, the C6 automatic transmission completely rebuilt. I had the drive shaft balanced and new spicer u-joints installed, the rear differential is the original 9" “unit but I recently (July 2003) had a Detroit Locker installed and it still has the original 3.25 gear ratio.

Wheels and Tires:
The BF Goodrich Comp T/A's tires are new and the optional Shelby 10 spokes were ordered with the car.

Suspension:
Went through the front suspension (springs, rocker seats, upper control arms, bushings) replaced steering ram with new ram and replaced the power steering hoses. The steering box was removed and sent out to be blue printed by Kevin Gaines in the Bay area. The rear springs and shackles were replaced. Koni’s are installed all the way around

Brakes:
Brakes front and rear have been completely restored along with new rotor, pads, shoes, calipers, brake booster and new brake lines. Much effort has been made to maintain the original look of the system.

Under Carriage
Has been detailed and is primered red oxide and is solid. Total Control Sub-frame connectors have been installed to prevent any twisting movement of the body generated from the massive torque of the 428 CJ motor. But these were installed so that they can easily be removed. The sub-frames on this Shelby are very straight.

Interior:
The dash is in excellent shape. The original aluminum inserts on the dash were removed and refinished. The 'WIPER' and 'BRAKES' lettering on the instrument panel is printed on the aluminum as original. All instrument guages work, including the factory clock. The original oil and amp meter is found in the original pod. The car is equipped with a factory AM 8 track stereo with a speaker in each door. The door panels are in very good shape. The factory aluminum panels were chemically stripped, refinished, the edges polished, and finally reanodized with the proper 'bright dip' anodizing process. The carpets were replaced in 2002. The car is equipped with the comfort weave upholstery that is in very good condition. The roll bar and original belts are intact and in very good shape. Shelby had signed both the sun visor and glove box lid. In the glove box is an owners manual with Carroll Shelby’s signature.

Trunk:
The trunk has been restored and comes with a 1967 Shelby date coded steel wheel and original Good Year tire. In the trunk, you will also find the jack and tire wrench available in 1967. These items are often missing in many of the Shelby’s advertised for sale.

Motor:
In the fall of 2001 I pulled the motor for a complete rebuild. At that time I discovered that the block had been replaced early in its life. So I searched and found a 428CJ with a 68 date code. Doug Garifo used to work for Ford Power Parts had this motor, and it had just returned from the machine shop and ready for assembly. We assembled this motor using all the tricks that you would use when building a performance FE. Oiling modifications, blue printed oil pump, Cobra aluminum pan, TRW forged pistons, Edlebrock aluminum heads that were purchased bare casting then port matched, cleaned up and built up properly with stainless valves. The comp cam is #FB265DEH-10 and has a duration at .050, Intake 211 and exhaust is 223. Hi volume water pump. ARP bolts were used throughout. The piston rod beams were polished and cerclips used. Rollmaster billet steel timing gears and dual timing chain were also used. The intake currently on the motor is a Blue Thunder with a Jet stage 2 Holley 750 carb. The Blue Thunder adds about 35 horsepower compared to the Performer RPM. The car also has FPA Tri Y headers that have been Cerma chromed. The rest of the exhaust is 2.5” tubes with a cross over and Flow master 3 chamber mufflers.

Original Parts:
I have all the original motor parts, including 2 four aluminum intake, BJ and BK carbs, and valve train (rebuilt). I also have the original heads, exhaust manifolds, carb linkage, and fuel log.
