    Hi All,
    I bought a 1967 330 GTC #9899 that on its history report it lists that Tom Shelton did the restoration of the car back in 2004.
    I do know that Mr Shelton sold his dealership/shop to the know known Ferrari of Ft Lauderdale, just didn't know much more about the man beside his and his brothers incredible racing careers.
    Thanks.

    Al Roberts was his main "wrench". If Al was still around at that time, he probably did the work on the car, depending on how much "restoration" was done.

    You can try to contact Tim Stanford (954 764 7824) who is a member here and worked with Al Roberts at Cressman & Baumgarten and then Shelton. Al Roberts is still at Ferrari of Ft. Lauderdale.

    Tim is well respected in the Ferrari community and has interesting historical stories/experiences concerning Ferraris. I forgot to mention in my previous post that he left Shelton during the 1980's to open his independent Ferrari shop.
