Please contact us for more information. 1969 Shelby Mustang GT350 B/Production SCCA Race Car Serial Number 9F02R480033 This car started its life as a Silver Jade C-6 automatic transmission GT500. The car was delivered to Hayward Ford on January 7, 1969. It was sold on August 28, 1969. Some time after that date the car was stolen and wrecked. The insurance company eventually declared the car totaled and the remains were purchased by ABC Auto Wreckers, San Leandro CA in 1971. Jerry Lecatse was the owner of ABC Auto Wreckers. ABC was a well known wrecking yard in the Bay Area, especially for owners of Shelby�s and Cobras. More than a few went through that yard and Jerry�s ownership. He was also an active member of the San Francisco Region of the SCCA. Shelby Mustangs were homologated as two-seater sports cars in 1965; the SCCA continued to recognize them as such even though the later Shelby cars seated four. Jerry�s friend, Lee Fulton, had just recently completed a �69 Shelby for SCCA competition and it was approved to race in the B/Production class. Jerry felt 480033 was an excellent candidate to be converted to a race car to compete with his friend. In late 1973, using the current General Competition Rules as a guide, Jerry took a Boss 302 from another wrecked Mustang, fabricated a cage, installed the required safety equipment, switched to15 x 8 wheels and purchased fiberglass body work from Maier Racing, Hayward, CA. He painted the car Grabber Green to match his street Shelby. According to the car�s Log Book, Jerry successfully competed in Regional and National events from 1972-1975 in this car at Laguna Seca Raceway and Sears Point International Raceway.
