Does anyone have a source for the correct fabric covering for the tail light harness, what color(s) it should be and any pics of what the complete harness is originally supposed to look like installed ? I have seen several versions that include partial fabric, part tape or cloth tape, etc.

I'm also interested in seeing pics of the complete tail light section (view from inside the trunk) to see items such as riveted tail light back panels, and foam material between the housings and back panels, how the wire loom should look (ei: inside the back panels or on the outside of them, dropped down from the top of the wire loom or run across starting at one end, etc)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jim ]]> Jimmy http://www.shelbyforums.com/forums/1965-1970-shelby-mustang-gt350-gt500/18758-67-tail-light-harness-concourse-correct.html http://www.shelbyforums.com/forums/1965-1970-shelby-mustang-gt350-gt500/18755-1967-lemans-claud-debois-shelby-now-really-converted-notchback.html Mon, 17 Jun 2013 19:39:13 GMT I don't know if it's possible to be disappointed about something that happened in a race 47 years ago but up until today when I was perusing the net I had always assumed Claude DuBois being a Shelby dealer that it was a real Shelby (no. 17 on the side) that he raced at LeMans in 1967 (DNF) with Chris Tuerlinckx, finishing 58 laps. The entry list (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967_24...f_Le_Mans)says "Ford-Shelby GT350" so maybe the LeMans officials didn't look for the Shelby tag.
I found postings on another forum that said it was a notchback converted to look like a Shelby which to me is like proof there is no Santa Claus. The same postings hinted there was a second hardtop (with custom sales papers indicating 5R539 and a (1970) race logbook of "5R539") (which) was sold to 3 german buyers, wrecked in the 80's. This second car shows the same wiper mods than the 1967 Le Mans car, so most likely was the "other" hardtop. Amongst other track records this hardtop was raced at the Nuerburgring.
So now that I get over my disappointment that it was not a real Shelby R-model, I would still like to hear an opinion from a '65 GT350 fan on which is worth more-- a Mustang hardtop that was a lookalike of a Shelby R -model that actually raced in the fabled race or a real R-model that actually raced in Europe at other tracks such as when Jochen Neerpasch winning the GT Class at Nurburgring 1000km in 1967.

Someone told me that repro '65 Blue Dots are now available in radials; searched the net but only found them in nylon...is the radial claim correct? If so, contact info or a link would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance. ]]> SFM 5025 http://www.shelbyforums.com/forums/1965-1970-shelby-mustang-gt350-gt500/18754-reproduction-65-blue-dots-radials.html http://www.shelbyforums.com/forums/1965-1970-shelby-mustang-gt350-gt500/18736-advance-apologies-if-you-saw-barn-find-website-called-barn-finds-67-shelby.html Sat, 15 Jun 2013 18:15:37 GMT http://www.barnfinds.com/1967-shelby-gt500/

I dunno. I'd rather have a car parked inside than one parked outside. What did it sell for?

I like my baubles shinier. ]]> bitzman http://www.shelbyforums.com/forums/1965-1970-shelby-mustang-gt350-gt500/18736-advance-apologies-if-you-saw-barn-find-website-called-barn-finds-67-shelby.html http://www.shelbyforums.com/forums/1965-1970-shelby-mustang-gt350-gt500/18714-67-shelby-428-fastback-found-desert-see-pics-bangshift-com.html Fri, 14 Jun 2013 01:12:50 GMT http://bangshift.com/blog/1967-shelb...alifornia.html

Looks real, (there's 50 pics at the website) so now my question is how did a guy in Mass. find out about it? Good detective work or an ad in Hemmings? Anybody hear what he paid? I guess the rainfall ini Death Valley is about 1 /1000th of what it is in Mass so not too rusty... ]]> bitzman http://www.shelbyforums.com/forums/1965-1970-shelby-mustang-gt350-gt500/18714-67-shelby-428-fastback-found-desert-see-pics-bangshift-com.html http://www.shelbyforums.com/forums/1965-1970-shelby-mustang-gt350-gt500/18684-1967-gt-500-bellhousing.html Tue, 11 Jun 2013 17:49:41 GMT Should the bell housing on a 1967 FE be corporate blue or natural cast color?

With headlights switch on, tail lights work both sides.

Brake pedal, hazard lights, right side directional signal does not work on the right side tail light.

Right front directional lights up but does not flash.

2 directional green arrow lights on dash....they flash.

I use flasher #323 Wagner.

It calls for not using Heavy Duty Flasher.

Anyone have any ideas?

Appreciate it....S ]]> Seaweed http://www.shelbyforums.com/forums/1965-1970-shelby-mustang-gt350-gt500/18475-sequential-tail-lights.html http://www.shelbyforums.com/forums/1965-1970-shelby-mustang-gt350-gt500/18454-1966-gt-350h-black-gold-paint-question.html Fri, 24 May 2013 14:18:23 GMT Hello, With regards to painting a 1966 GT 350H, should it be painted with an enamel paint like it was originally, or with a base coat and clear coat which seems to be the trend these days. I'm leaning enamel, but I sure could use your input. Also, could you recommend a good brand of single stage black paint. As always, thank you. ]]> octoberglory http://www.shelbyforums.com/forums/1965-1970-shelby-mustang-gt350-gt500/18454-1966-gt-350h-black-gold-paint-question.html http://www.shelbyforums.com/forums/1965-1970-shelby-mustang-gt350-gt500/18397-not-shelby-but-would-considered-1963-mustang-mustang-ii-four-seater.html Mon, 20 May 2013 22:34:06 GMT The Mustang I was a two seater, mid engined, but the Mustang II was a four seater, and a running driving prototype in 1963. I was assuming in the past it was built on a prototype "pilot" chassis( those are what they call cars built up while they are still testing the assembly line but not necessairily destined for showrooms) , but in Mustang Monthly in their Dec. 2012 issue they say it was built on a Falcon Sprint chassis and that the SN is X8902-SB-208. I know if it says "X" that might be experimental but is the rest of the SN more like a '63 Falcon Sprint or like the earliest of Mustangs? I would like to know what the title says if experimental cars have titles... ]]> bitzman http://www.shelbyforums.com/forums/1965-1970-shelby-mustang-gt350-gt500/18397-not-shelby-but-would-considered-1963-mustang-mustang-ii-four-seater.html
