GT merorabilia found.

We bought a 2nd home in Cave Creek, AZ a year ago, and I just met a neighbor down the street. He worked for Saleen on the Ford Gt project as the logistics manager among other things. He had a bunch of memorabilia he was going to take to the pawn shop. I immediately scooped it all up. He also has thousands of photos he's downloading for me.

Two white long sleeve shirts

Two Polo shirts

A heavy winter coat that I've never seen before (great for SD winters).

The extruded aluminum GT silhouette, a 1/18 Beanstalk heritage, a 1/18 white car signed by Bill Ford, a brochure, and a folder with CD.
Lots of Ford news letters.

[06fordgt]

Very very cool. Cant wait to see the pics. Maybe some of our cars going through the line!!

 

[Mike Mosing]

That's cool stuff. In the right place at the right time. Way to go!

 

[DakotaGT]

Nice score! Congrats! Wish Erin and I were with you in AZ. This SD winter is truly ridiculous this year.

 

[Specracer]

Oh man, what a score!!!

 

[Superfly]

Now that's a modern GT "Barn Find". Congrats!!! Please post some of the pics you get.

His name is Bayard Lawes. Said he worked for Buick on concept cars before that. An interesting person!

Does anyone have info on the winter coat? I've never seen one before. It's built for our Midwest winters, with zip-out lining.

 

[dbk]

I've never seen the coat but Camilo definitely did that logo.

Score on some great swag!

 

[Planecrazy232]

What an incredible score!!

 

[shelbyelite]

Hey, can I buy that nice looking heritage car you are using as a display table for those fine products???
Will pay you top dollar...

 

[wmjim]

Nice try Shelby, but some day this snow will melt, and the sun might shine, and I'll be able to use that display table for something else!

 

[roketman]

I’ll by the shirt or the coat! How much?

 

[GKW05GT]

The luckiest guy I know, good find Buddy

 

[twobjshelbys]

Yep, good find.

We almost moved to Queen Creek in 1995. Just recently it was a toss up between Queen Creek and Las Vegas. We ended up in Vegas. Just closed on the new place today.

I've got a bunch of shirts from the program, as well as a couple of jackets. The coat looks similar to one of the ones I have, but a different color.

Unfortunately, many don't fit any more. :frown

 

[debtdrives]

I'll buy anything that you don't want....

 

[Specracer]
