Brian “Willie” Wilkens' 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Convertible
Enthusiasts who compile and use vehicle registries will tell you that being able to connect with — or simply get information from — previous owners of a particular vehicle can serve to make or break their own ownership experience with that same vehicle. That concept certainly wasn’t lost on Brian “Willie” Wilkens of Flagstaff, Arizona, who says that because he was able to track down the previous owner of 2008 Shelby GT500 that he was thinking about buying, his purchase of the car went from a “Not sure I should” to a “Glad I did!”
His purchase of a 2008 Shelby GT500 convertible — and the investigation of it — ended up with him gaining a friend, giving the previous owner peace of mind, and him having a great story to tell.
