Do you have a black gt350? If so, we met about 9-10 yrs ago in Washington at a car show. I have #1761. No shock tower washers. Do not believe it ever did. We discussed this at the show. I was there w/ a Shelby owner, Bob Laughlin(from Tacoma). Our serial #'s are very close. Mine is Ivy green.

Thanks Ed and David for replying, now we are getting somewhere!

Ed, yes 1757 is a black non-Hertz (white stripe) car, I remember meeting you at that show and talking about 1761 since our cars are so close. In fact I still have a pic of your car I took at the Monterey Historics a few years later.

Thanks Bob and Jeff for your comments. I'm well aware of the fact that most 67's don't have the washers and all 65-66's should and the export brace package installation was done at San Jose and not Shelby American. Jeff, I'd be interested if you know the Shelby VINs of the cars you mentioned.

I find patty.dilabio's comments interesting: "We nick named them KONI washers way back when,because all cars with KONI'S all seemed to have them." since that is one of the theories I've wondered about.

So we have three cars within 70 VIN units that possibly did not have the shock tower washers originally. Can any other 66 owners with cars in the same VIN area please chime in here?

Thanks, Dave
