the GT 350H found in Compton... then bought, and used as bait on a trailer to hook a GT 500
Rich Barnes has a Mustang restoration business in Golden Colorado, and was in Compton looking for this GT 350, bought it, was on the way home when getting gas in San Jose, and the guy at the next gas pump over spoke up about having a GT 500 in a shipping container that he'd blown up the motor while running Pike's Peak
and that is why you connect on facebook to magazines like Hot Rod. You learn of stories like this on their websites http://www.hotrod.com/cars/featured/1108-1968-ford-mustang-shelby-g-t-350-bait-hooks-a-bigger-fish/ from barn find story collector Jerry Heasley
People are strange, and must have hated their Shelby AC Cobras... why else would they put them in barns and never take them out for 40 years? CSX 2436 comes out after 40 years, CSX 2034 had only 4700 miles
The car was purchased new in Connecticut, who would pass it on to White Plains, New York. Its second owner did not keep it long, and in 1971 the car was sold to Ed Jurist’s Vintage Car Store of Nyack, New York. In September of that year the car would change hands again, showing 30,000 miles on the odometer.
A gentleman named Peter DeSilva of Great Barrington, Mass., acquired the car from the Vintage Car Store, and in 1974 he traded it to his friend Sy Allen. He soon placed the car delicately on stands and locked it up in his barn, where it has slept – out of sight – for 40 years.

Originally sold through Tasca Ford, after Tasca apparently lent it to Car and Driver for the Cobra road test in the magazine’s March 1963 issue, then sold to James Hall of Concord, New Hampshire.
Hall installed a tri-power intake that he bought through Grappone Ford, also in Concord.
According to the World Registry of Cobras and GT40s, Hall then proceeded to lose his license driving the Cobra and sold CSX 2034 the next year to Hallinan, at the time working as a salesman at Grappone, with about 1,000 miles on it. Hallinan only drove it a couple of summers afterward and then put it in storage; at the time Bonhams removed it from storage for last weekend’s Quail Lodge auction, it displayed just 4,700 miles and still wore its Tasca badging, its early AC-Shelby-Cobra badge, and the tri-power intake atop its original 260.

last used in a 1965 movie, and now ready to make the current owners wealthy as hell.

I found the name of the photographer from getting the book, "Cars in Barns"... some of the pics are in that book, along with the story of how the photographer found this storage barn with millions of dollars of rare / priceless unknown cars like the Cord 812, Bugatti's, etc
