Jim Morrison's Shelby

Brittany blue, #939. From time to time there are reports of it but no one's produced it yet. Probably went the way of the crusher.

This question has come up several times at www.vintage-mustang.com
I'll look it up, or you can go there and do a search. Try going back about a year or so.
The car number is mentioned but I do not recall it actually being in anyones hands. But I could be wrong about that too. The 1997 SAAC registry doesn't does not list a "Jim Morrison" as a 67 owner.

 

I went to Vintage Mustang and looked up the post.
Ah, somebody said the Vin Tags were recently on Ebay (at that time Nov '04). Now the whole world knows it, so what can you build with that?

 

I always heard it was Brittany blue but I just looked it up and it was Nightmist blue/ white interior. Nice combo.

a Shrine to Jim Morrison?? as I recall, the car may never have actually been in his name as I think the Studio Bought it for him.

 

seems like the car was for sale on ebay several years ago, complete with photocopies of title & other documentation listing Jim Morrison, AKA "the lizard king" as owner.

 

I ran across this through altavista search. I don't own a shelby mustang yet, because i'm a poor college student, but i'm a huge doors fan, and a figure put my 2 cents in on this topic.. I'm sure his car is still around, because his family, and he did had 2 siblings let you know. They gotten everything when jim passed away. I'm sure someone else owns his car now. I have a film of Jim ,which he made himself with his car, and driving like mad man through the desert.I doubt people are interested in seeing the film, but here's a pic of Jim and his car.

 

I would be interested in film. Is there a link

The movie "The Doors" has part of that film in it. If I remember right it showed Jim doing dounuts in the desert sand. I have the movie and will have to dig it out and watch it again.

 

I have watched movies like Two Lane Blacktop and others from 60's and 70's and I never see roads with the white outside lines like the one in the Morrison picture above. I assume it is a fake? Maybe someone who was an adult in that era can tell us for sure.

 

you can find many roads still marked that way in the west & midwest ( NM, OK & TX )

 

I don't know how long link last, but here it is and it's not a fake. I have audio interviews of jim talking about making this film..

Yes, pam die like 3 years after jim . You're right Pam's family hold all legal rights to Jim things, but jim's family has sued the doors and things in past. I still think the car is still around even beat up, because value of being morrison's car, but anyways it's cool jim owned a shelby and not some rich posh car like a rolls or a benz.

 

You can find many roads marked that way everywhere today. Could you find them that way in 1967?

 

absolutely

 

Here is a picture of route 66 early 60's taken in New Mexico.

 

you are right about Pam getting his estate, but when she died her parents split everything with his parents.
