Just to continue the discussion (always fun)
"if we find owners who had missing washers and can show their cars had original Koni's " Since the 66's all came with Gabriels from Ford I think it might be a problem.
Anyone have an original Add/Delete sheet or note/letter between Shelby and Ford requesting the Koni's during 66?
I think you may be able to tie it to a shift or supply issue at San Jose maybe (like we have with a couple of other details) but IMHO you have to look at the Ford VIN's not the Shelby VIN's to get a pattern that will stick.
Other 65-66 non-typical patterns that have shown up. Dec 65 coupe red headliners (white was substituted for approx 3 weeks) and Jan 65 black undercarriages (looks to be 3-5 weeks)
