Trevor Gray never like to race it on a new years events due to superstition i believe!! others may have better info than me!! Strangely enough about 10 years ago parts like the tail lights, trim, etc came up in a garage sale said to be from this Shelby, would luv to know its VIN number but long gone on doubt.
