Hmm, guess I need to get up to speed on the non-carry over 66 GT350 Koni issue. Info from the "1966 GT350 Running Production Changes" section of the last (97) Registry states: Koni Shock Absorbers. Installed on all cars as a general rule. Occasionally standard production Autolite shocks (made by Gabriel) were used instead of Konis. Use followed no discernable pattern." But as far as this discussion IMO the shock thing isn't relevant anyway so possibly we can continue it on a seperate thread as I'd like to hear more on that.

I agree Ford VIN's would be more relevant but for obvious reasons that won't happen without SAAC's involvement and I believe they have bigger fish to fry right now. For the moment the best we can do is gather as much info as possible from the Shelby VINs.
