The Mustang name was removed for the Shelby versions. Could a moderator please change this?

They used two Mustangs, a '67 GT500 and a '65/'66 Fastback.

This was no 65 66 used in this film. There was a 90's modern video for LA Woman shot with a 65/66 Mustang but that has nothing to do with this film. This Shelby footage was shot April of 1969. Its an independent film. See this url for more info: http://mildequator.com/filmhistory/hwy.html This Shelby was driven by Morrison and legend has it he eventually hit a pole on the Sunset Strip one night and parked it on the side of the street to go drink. When he came back it was gone. Some sources say the car no longer exist. I've also heard it was registered in Morrison's name and another person who was associated with Elektra Records. There are pictures of Morrison on the internet with a 68 Charger. Some conclude he got the 68 Charger when he wrecked the Shelby; However, again this film was shot in April 69 and the Shelby was wrecked sometime after that. Maybe as late as 1970. Here is the youtube link for the full 50 minute film and you will see there is no 65/66 used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2vNXCm13d4

I haven't looked into it for a couple of years, but most people including people who knew Jim and rode in the car are all pretty sure that the car was scrapped at some point, since it had been crashed several times and must have suffered frame damage. The '68 Charger that was also seen in some photo shoot was just a rental, Jim didn't actually own it. I don't know if Jim actually rented it because he wrecked the Shelby or if some other band member rented it though.
