    It's been repainted once, shows evidence of replacement of the RH fender, and some body filler on the rear. The alternator is a rebuild, but has the original fan and pulley. It does, however, retain the steel hood.

    The only other item that looks like it's even been replaced is the master cylinder, and that's only obvious because it looks like its only a few years old, while even the alternator looks like it was done decades ago.

    The master cylinder is the common Mustang-style round single bowl type. Should it have a MICO master cylinder, like the one below? Or was only on some H models?

    The mico equipped Hertz cars were a minority and only certain H cars received the mico master . The mico equipped cars are known and listed by their VIN in the Shelby registry. They were predominantly on the earlier versions. I hope this helps. Bob

    OK, I don't recall the number, but it was late in the year. Does the Shelby registry also report the steel hood?

    Well the factory did not keep records on which VIN number car got which hood like they did on the hertz mico master cylinders. The SAAC registry has to depend on owner reports for the hood reports. You can see the pattern of the hood usage during production as you look through the specs for each 66 GT350. The registry book has a fantastic amount of information in it. Bob
