Jay Schultz's 1967 GT500
April 11, 2014 -- Growing up in Florida, Jay’s
Blue Oval fascination can be attributed to his parents. His mother
purchased an Inline 6 Coupe new from Warren Wooten Ford in Cocoa Florida
in 1966 and his father still owns a 1929 Ford Model A Coupe that he
purchased used in college at Georgia Tech University. Fresh out of college
himself and newly relocated to the bitter cold of Michigan, the
opportunity of a lifetime seemed too good to be true. Jay purchased 2984
from Long Island New York in 1999 at the age of 27, acknowledging this
would be a long term project. Money, priorities, marriage, and life all
would get in the way, but a personal commitment was made. If not done so
by the age of 40, regardless of the location or situation, #2984 would get
a complete ground up restoration. Fast forward 15 years after 10 years in
the auto industry working for Roush Industries as a supplier to Ford SVT,
3 years in the defense industry, and finally “settling” in South Carolina
that commitment was met and today #2984 is 99% percent complete. 1% left
and it seems this project will continue a bit longer…… don’t they all? |
