This pic of 1757 was taken in January 1972 by the third owner and shows the original 10-spokes painted. I can't prove they were that way from...
Here's another pic I found in my archives. Don't even remember where I got it from but IIRC it's a demo car on a dealer lot after the 67's became...
Raised ridge, black wall.
A friend of mine has already received a set of 5, I have seen one of these in person. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera so couldn't take a pic...
I'm in.
That was the part of the sidewall that to me looked a little off compared to the used original, the ridge wasn't quite as sharply defined on the...
The repro Bluestreaks are now available. A friend just bought a set from Kelsey and I was able to compare it to a nice used original he has. Some...
Ed, Jeff's estimate is very close. I was able to determine the scheduled San Jose biuld date of 1757 as March 29, 1966 from the VIN's of two other...
Just got home from work and checked Mannel's book. Bob is correct, told you it was scary to rely on memory! On page 5-41 it says the dimpled coils...
I'll admit I cheated a little. I have the full resolution image so it's a little easier to see these fine details compared to the one I resized...
Thanks Tommy, very helpful information! Dave.
Very interesting observations. If you look carefully at the center part of the cowl reinforcement plate there appears to be an area that is still...
Thanks for the info Jeff. I think you misunderstood my previous post to Tommy, made some changes so hopefully it's more clear now. Certainly...
Hello Tommy and Merry Christmas to you and everyone on the forum! Your Shelby VIN is an important one for this discussion so please let us know...
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...
Jeff, I agree the shock type probably has nothing to do with the subject. I included it as a possibility in my original inquiry because it was...
Thanks for the response James! We now have four cars between 1693 and 1801 that very likely did not originally come with the shock tower washers....
Actually, the 65-66 washers were not the same as used under the steering box to the frame rail bolts. Those have a flat edge while the 65-66...
Thanks Ed and David for replying, now we are getting somewhere! :thumbsup: Ed, yes 1757 is a black non-Hertz (white stripe) car, I remember...
The original export brace and firewall reinforcement are there, the only thing that wasn't on the car when I bought it in 1987 was the washer...
I'm trying to figure out some details concerning 66 shock towers and need the help of 66 owners to get to the bottom of this. It is...
Bob, should the brake drum front face be painted black on all 66's regardless of the original wheel style? Thanks, Dave
Very cool car! IMHO you should at least send the VINs to Howard Pardee so he can verify if it's the real deal or not. It may well be a car that...
Re: 65 on ebay Back to the car being discussed here. The VIN is 5S265. Jimbo, please let us know if you win, maybe we can all get rides! :D
Great picture of an outstanding car!
