Billed to Shelby American on February 23, 1965, it was completed to S\/C specifications under Work Order No. 15103. Shelby American received an order from Archway Motors on April 21, 1966, for an S\/C model, specifying a bright red exterior, black interior and modified racing exhaust system for delivery to a Mr. Hall on May 31. It is possible Hall never took delivery of the car, as its next recorded owner, Peter Bayer of New York, acquired it as compensation for promotional work completed for White Plains, New York, dealer Larsen Ford and was the first to register the car in 1967. Its next owner, Doug Carsen of Rimersburg, Pennsylvania, apparently raced it in several SCCA events.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/001-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-683648\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/001-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1090\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/001-1.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/001-1-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/001-1-1024x744.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/001-1-100x73.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/001-1-770x560.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/001-1-293x213.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/001-1-1400x1017.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>John Parlante of Whitestone, New York, bought 3045 around 1975 along with \u201cseveral interesting spares\u201d that included two doors and the trunk lid from CSX3212.
