    Hi Guys

    Last week a was watching a new tv channel and they brought something
    about "Unique Performance" where they tested their cars and stuff when
    all of a sudden a 65 Shelby GT350R came around the corner.
    I allmost got a heart attack! :eek: :thumbsup:
    It was car number SFM5R102 with the owner Christian Briggs.
    I love that car and would like to have detailed pictures from it.
    Is he member here? Does anybody have his email address??
    Just want to ask him a few questions. That car is awesome!
    What a lucky guy!!!

    Thank you very much

    Bye Jerrry

    You might either do


    a people/person locater computer search, or phone book etc., for the owner, or maybe contact Unique Performance by phone or email, or try to contact the show you were watching for help with what you are seeking.

    Jerry, I know the Shelby and Christian. They are both top notch. Christian sold this GT 350R at auction earlier this year. I believe it was sold in the Carolins, but not positive. This car was raced by Bob Johnson in the early years, and is well documented in the Registry. Car sold for slightly less than 1 millyon dollars, and this is the higest price ever (by far) paid for a Mustang. Christiam lives in Frisco, Texas, which is a northern suburb of Dallas.

    :D

    Hi Jerry,
    I believe I took some pictures of R102 at the AER show in Addison, TX
    a couple of years ago. Also spoke with the owner for a few minutes.
    He is a car collector and had a beautiful Z28 Camaro beside the R-model.
    As said earlier he sold the car in an auction earlier this year.
    Hope I can locate the photos. There is an excellent article about R102
    in a magazine called Texas Driver, Jan-Feb 2005 issue.
