Just thought I'd say Hello
Hi All
I've been collecting Fords for 30+ years. My 66 GT350 is in need of more than a complete restoration and this place looked like a good place to ask a few questions and maybe even offer some help on occasion. Thanks!

Re: Just thought I'd say Hello
Hi Vern
I'll try to dig some pic's up of the GT350 (the car is in storage). It had been used as a drag racer and is tubbed in back and has a tube front end. I've got a lot of work to do if I want to go vintage racing.

Re: Just thought I'd say Hello
Welcome!
I'd love to see the pix as well. Does Howard have the history of your car? Mike

Re: Just thought I'd say Hello
Pardon my ignorance but who's Howard ???
The car is in the SAAC registry.

Re: Just thought I'd say Hello
You answered your own question!
Howard is the 65 / 66 Registrar and one of the most knowledgeable and nice guys @ SAAC. Mike

 Sounds like I need to put Howard on my x-mas card list.  Here's a pic of the project when it had to spend a season outside a few years back

Re: Just thought I'd say Hello
Unfortunately I don't know the drag history but was likely set up that way in the 1970s or 1980s. There's no significant history that I know of. The car has a narrowed 9" with MW axles, a full cage with what looks like a spot for a chute in back, and some homemade (Mustang II?) front suspension. No interior and no drive train. The car is in deep storage until I finish (or sell) a few other projects.
