38 YEARS, AND NINE OWNERS, FROM THE BUILD DATED OF MAY 6, 1969, THE
BOSS SHELBY WAS FINALLY FINISHED. IT WAS FEATURED AT THE SHELBY-BOSS
REUNION ON AUGUST 10-11 AT THE INDIANAPOLIS FORD PLANT. THE BOSS SHELBY
WAS TO BE A 200-CAR PROGRAM AS DOCUMENTED BY THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY,
THE SHELBY AMERICAN (SAAC) 1999 ISSUE #68 AND ėMARTI AUTO WORKS",
FURTHER REASEARCH SHOWS THAT NEARLY 200 WE'RE PLANNED FOR PRODUCTION

CREATION, OWNERSHIP, AND EVEN ITS EXISTENCE HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF
CONSIDERABLE SPECULATION, BUT IT IS REAL. THE INFORMATION IN THIS
ARTICLE WAS COLLECTED FROM FORD RECORDS, DOCUMENTATION WITHIN THE CAR
(BUILD SHEETS), AND CONVERSATIONS WITH PREVIOUS OWNERS AND CARROLL
