    Anybody know of any of the previous owners of my shelby, I have had it since 1999, but dont know the history of the car. It use to be green with a white top, now it is red with a black top, forgive me. I know the car started on the east coast, the rest is a mystery. Any leads or ideas for finding the former owners would be appreciated. I will get a Marti report soon, yes I do know about this service.

    Not much on it. Originally delivered to Koons Ford, Falls Church, VA. Last known owner as of 1997, Bill Bennett, Bellevue WA. I would suggest starting by seeing if Vinnie Liska has any warranty records for it, that typically will list the name of person who brought it in for service (original owner)

    Isn't the registrar for '68 Shelby's Vincent Liska?

    According to SAAC it is and you can email him at 68registrar@saac.com. If I'm incorrect please let me know. Thanks, Joe.
