....." Longtime family friend Kurt Goss of Anaheim said O'Hara, who lived in La
Habra, gave him the car a few days before she burned herself to death Oct. 22
on a Fullerton horse trail"....

A rich guy who is having it restored. Maybe Spector will make a new license plate for it in his spare time.

Phil Spector actually drove that thing around hollywood back then, it got real hot inside, had poor ventillation at street speeds and no A/ C either. You don't actually think he will go to San Quentin do ya ?

Phil Spector's daughter (nicole) went to high school with my older brother.

Actually I do. I think he's going to be the one celeb that runs out of luck and we're going to see an occasional picture of him even more old and wrinkled than he is now.

The Daytona coupes raced by Shelby were all 289's. They started construction of a revised 427 version, the Daytona Super Coupe, but it was not completed as Ford wanted Shelby to concentrate on the Ford GT program and not the GT class. That car has since been bought by a private owner and completed. I've seen pictures of it. I don't know if it is used for historic racing or not.

Shelby went to the 427 to compete with the Ferraris. 227 mph!!, what a ride

That whole story unfolded not too far from where I live.

In the end it seemed like everyone got screwed, except the lawyers.
