This Shelby GT500 Convertible is one of just 13 produced with
Silver Jade paint and White interior. It was the only example
originally shipped and sold to TASCA Ford Sales of East Providence,
RI. (Documented) This car was first sold to Dan Bain of Kansas in
June of 1970 and in 1983 it was sold to Arthur Hagen of Denver, Co.
In April of 2000 it was sold to Kirk Wiggerman of Ill. Showing
56,000 miles and rust free. A (2) year ground up rotisserie
restoration was performed in 2007. The 1970 front spoiler was on
the car at this time and was one of the changes made to all unsold
carry-over 1969 Shelby's. Other unique specifications include a
black power top and the Space Saver spare tire. It has an authentic
Carroll Shelby Autograph. It has rather unique chrome convertible
top deck trim pieces. The tires have been changed from BG Goodrich
tires to correct Polyglass Tires. The Shelby was sold to current
owner in 2011.
A total of 3,942 Shelby Mustangs of all styles were manufactured in
1969 but 789 remained unsold at the end of the year. They were
updated and sold as 1970 models by changing the VIN # to reflect
1970 as the model year. Many were modified with hood stripes and a
front spoiler.
Lots of documentation including Marti-Report, delivery sheet from
Shelby Automotive Inc. to Tasca Ford, Shelby Automotive invoice,
and original Shelby dealer brochure with specifications furnished
with car.
