T
he 1980s were here and Mustang Service Center was in full swing. I purchased a lot more
mustangs, many to be parted out, including two 1969
428 Cobra Jets, a 1967 390 GT, a 1968 Shelby that
had no title and even a 1970 Boss 429. The cars I did
keep and drive for a while included a 1969 Boss 302,
a custom 1965 fastback with a large Meyer Racing
fender flares and Shelby Hood, lots of 1965-1966
coupes every color available, a white with black interior, an ivy gold with ivy gold interior, a paint delete
Presidential Blue with blue and white pony interior,
a red with black interior, a yellow with black interior.
Other cars included a 1969 convertible that I gave the
wife when I got married and my all-time favorite a
1967 triple black convertible that later when I lived in
Arizona, I installed a red deluxe interior and white top

and boy was that car a looker. I did a car for a Ford
dealer in 1984 and he let me pick any car I wanted,
I chose a 1984 turbo GT convertible triple black and
after a boring 1982 hatchback the wife bought in late
1988 I brought her a 1966 coupe that I painted silver
blue with blue and white pony and a white vinyl top, a
good looking car. I sure wish I had a place to keep all
those great mustangs over the years. But still there
were more to come. Remember all the neat cars you
owned over the years. We’re all car nuts and I’m sure
everyone had lots of cool rides, they wish they had
kept. “remember”

MONTHLY
EVENTS
Denver Center of the
Performing Arts
mustang MAY 18th Events
Due to unforeseen scheduling changes for the use
of the parking lot at 6th and Kipling (Jeffco Stadium),
we have been bumped from using the lot on 5/18. I am
working on an alternate date with them and will let you
know as soon as I do. I am determined to have the car
games this year. I want to thank those who volunteered
to assist and hope I can rely on you for our future date.
I am replacing the car games event on May 18 with
another event. I have booked a tour at the Denver
Center of the Performing Arts, located at 1101 13th
Street in downtown Denver. We will tour the behind
scenes of 3 or 4 of the theaters at the Center and the
tour will last from 10:00 am to noon and then lunch at a
“to be determined place” The tour consists of the many
activities behind the scenes of a performance - costumes, scenery, music, etc. and is an exciting tour for
the whole family. More information will be in the May
news letter and at the May meeting.

narrowest ever fitted to a Shelby GT500. After Shelby
himself ran the car to 170 mph, Goodell averaged a
speed of 142 mph for about 500 miles, proving the
durability of the tires.
VINTAGE: Rare 427
Shelby GT500 At
Auction
Powered by the racing engine from a GT40, the
unique and all-original 1967 demonstration car will be
offered by Mecum in May.
A very significant 1967 Shelby GT500 Mustang will
cross the auction block at Mecum’s Original Spring
Classic auction in Indianapolis on May 17, according to
Mustangs Daily. Originally intended as a demonstration vehicle for Goodyear’s Thunderbolt tires, the car
was turned into much, much more after a conversation
between Carroll Shelby and Don McCain.
McCain had been the sales manager for Shelby

April 2013 EMC News
American, and he saw a potential market for cars with
even higher performance than the production Shelby
GT500. Since Carroll Shelby had been in charge of
Ford’s GT40 racing efforts, McCain convinced Shelby
to stuff the 427-cubic-inch race engine from the GT40
into the GT500 reserved for tire testing.
The low-mileage GT500 was restored with all its
original equipment. (Photo: Mecum Auctions)
Shelby engineer Fred Goodell was happy to comply,
equipping the car with the same engine used to win Le
Mans in the GT40 Mk II. The end result was a Mustang
with around 600 horsepower and a top speed of 170
miles per hour. Its name, coined by McCain, was to be
the Shelby Super Snake.
The Goodyear tire test was a success, despite the
fact that the whitewall Thunderbolt tires were the
The public was less than thrilled with the price tag
of the Shelby Super Snake, which at $8,000 cost more
than a 427 Cobra. In the end, only the test car was
built, which makes it among the most desirable for any
serious Shelby collector.
Its current owner, Richard Ellis, purchased the car
with just 26,000 miles on the odometer. Though wellpreserved, Ellis went to great lengths to return the car
to the condition it was in the day of the Goodyear tire
test.
It’s impossible to predict what the car will sell for,
as there is no frame of reference with which to compare it. A low-mileage, all-original 1967 Shelby GT500
Fastback sold at Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale auction
in January for $192,500 (including buyer’s commission), so it’s safe to assume the original Shelby Super
Snake will far exceed this value.

Original 1967
“Eleanor” Mustang
heads to auction
A true movie star will make its way down Mecum’s
signature red carpet this May in Indianapolis. Known
by most simply as “Eleanor,” the modified 1967 Ford
Mustang from Touchstone Pictures’ “Gone in 60 Seconds” will cross the block as Lot S135 at Dana Mecum’s
26th Original Spring Classic auction this May 14-19.
This collector car icon piloted in the movie by
retired master car thief Memphis Raines, played by
Nicholas Cage, is the real McCoy. Several cars were
built to handle various duties in the filming of “Gone,”
but this is serial number 7R02C179710, the “Hero” car
driven by Cage during filming and the model used in
movie close-ups, posters and promotional materials.
Built by Cinema Vehicle Services with the help of
master designer Chip Foose, the body pieces of the
GT500 were mocked up on a Mustang using clay and
wood. Molds were then made to produce a new fiberglass front end filled with high-powered PIAA driving
lights, new fender flares, side skirts and scoops, hood
and trunk lid.
To give the car big-screen performance, it was
treated to a 351/400 HP Ford crate engine, which
shares room with a front subframe body brace by Total
Control Products, LLC. This progenitor of the Eleanor
revolution is relatively untouched inside with the
exception of an Autometer Sport Comp Monster tach,
fire extinguisher, Go-Baby-Go shift knob button for
Line Lock and a switch for activating a nitrous injection
system.
“Eleanor has become one of the most widely
recognized movie star muscle cars in the world, so
when the decision was made to offer the ‘Gone in 60
Seconds’ Hero car for sale, Mecum’s Spring Classic
auction in Indianapolis seemed like the perfect venue,”
commented Ray Claridge, owner of Cinema Vehicle
Services. Set to be offered directly from the builder on
Saturday, May 18 at the original, best and largest mus
cle car auction, this is truly the car that started it all.
Thirty-two hours of the Indianapolis auction will be
broadcast live on Discovery’s Velocity Network with
the entire auction streaming live on Mecum’s website.
Mecum’s Indy auction is open to buyers, sellers and
spectators. Gates open at 8 a.m. each day and general
admission can be purchased at the door for $20 per
person; children 12 and younger will be admitted at no
cost. For more information www.mecum.com .
Lowest mileage Ford
Mustang Boss 429 in
existence going up for
auction
Browsing through the list of cars scheduled to go
across the block at RM’s upcoming auction of the Don
Davis Collection, a 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 caught
our eye. The estimated sale price specifically stood
out – $300,000 to $350,000. That range is significantly
higher than the other Boss 429s sold earlier this year,
which varied from the low $200,000s up to $275,000.
So what makes this Boss 429 so special as to command
a premium of nearly six figures? Well, it has 97 miles
on the odometer, and according to RM Auctions, this is
the lowest mileage Boss 429 on the planet.
So what’s the story behind this very original Boss
429? It was first delivered to its owner in Denver, CO
who hoped to compete with the car in the NHRA’s Super
Stock class. Those plans were eventually shelved, and
the car went into storage for more than a decade. The
Boss 429 was eventually discovered and underwent an
extensive restoration including the installation of its
original 429ci V8. RM says the car shows “virtually no
wear” and still has all the original tags, stampings, and
markings from the factory.
Vehicle Description:
Don Davis’ Wimbledon White Boss 429 was delivered in Denver, Colorado, in 1969, equipped with
power steering, power front disc brakes, a Philco
radio, a Hurst shifter, and factory competition suspension. Reportedly intended to be used on the
NHRA Super Stock drag racing circuit, the project
was abandoned shortly thereafter due to NHRA rule
changes, and the Boss went into storage for over a
decade. It was discovered years later, its original
block sourced and re-installed, and the car lovingly
restored to, frankly, better than it would have been
when new. It speaks highly of the effort that the car
had been restored, to ensure greatness it was sent to
Bob Perkins, widely recognized as the master of Boss
429 restorations, who went over the Boss from stem to
stern until it was absolutely correct, down to the tiniest of details. All original tags, stampings, and markings “from the factory” are present throughout and in
their correct locations. Under the body and under the
hood are spectacular and show virtually no wear, and
all of the correct decals expected by Boss 429 experts
are present.
Due to having been stored from new until its restoration, and then used as a pampered show car ever
since, this Boss 429 really is “new.” The 97 miles, yes,
97 miles, on the odometer are verified accurate and
original, making this the lowest-mileage Boss 429 to
survive today.
Awarded a Gold Award at the 2005 Boss Car Nationals in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, this pristine Boss 429
is supplied with extensive documentation, including
copies of the window sticker, factory delivery documentation, the owner’s card, the owner’s manual, all
the factory tags, and a full Marti Report verifying its
original options, as well as a detailed appraisal for
the previous owner, in which the car’s condition is
carefully detailed, and a discussion of its restoration
by restorer David Randal. Combining thorough documentation, Bob Perkins vetting, and lower original
mileage than any of its brethren, this is the new Boss
429 from the local dealer in 1969. It is absolutely as
good as will ever be seen again.
So what will this very special 1969 Ford Mustang
Boss 429 sell for? We’ll find out at the end of the
month when it’s sold to the highest bidder on April
27th in Forth Worth, TX. Until then, you can read more
about the car below courtesy of RM’s description, or
view the car in detail in the gallery.

As April is coming very soon, the Mustang 50th
Anniversary is about to get started in a big way.
Today Ford opened the doors for what will be the
largest celebration of the Mustang’s history by
unveiling the 50th Anniversary logo.
FOR SALE 1966 Ford Mustang 2 Door Hardtop. 289 V8 Holley 4bbl, C4 Auto. Ford Emberglo Color, Ground

As we begin the 50th Anniversary year, Ford
has announced they will be licensing the Mustang
50th Anniversary logo only to 50 companies to
sell products including watches, T-shirts, model
cars and more that celebrate the Mustang’s first
50 years.
“During its first 49 years of production, Mustang has come to evoke a variety of emotions
in our customers – freedom, independence and
being true to one’s self – just to name a few,”
said John Nens, Ford’s team lead for Global Brand
Licensing. “We’re marking this Mustang milestone with a distinctive collection of licensed
products from select manufacturers that will
carry the unique Mustang 50 Years logo.”
LOCAL
All of the new merchandise will be easily identified with a custom logo that celebrates 50 years
of Mustang.
The logo was crafted by Ford designer Michael
Thomson. It features the Mustang’s trademark
galloping pony in silhouette over the characters “50 YEARS.” This new icon has a clean and
sophisticated appearance in either white on black
or black on white. Only 50 companies will be
licensed to create products bearing this special
logo including high-quality die cast models,
videogames, watches and apparel.
“We’re working closely with our licensees to
ensure every item reflects the unique qualities of
Mustang,” said Nens. “Like the car itself, we want
our licensed products to convey an attitude of
strength, passion and the highest quality.”
Over upcoming weeks and months, other Ford
licensees will reveal a variety of Mustang products featuring the Mustang 50 Years logo to mark
this special moment in automotive history and
kick off the next 50 years of Mustang.
