#448 owner by my good friend George. Bought out of Mass in 1976, first time on the road since then 14 months ago. Yes, really.
Yes for being at Tom C's
As I was taking photos and looking, I was thinking how cool to have a Shelby like this just to drive, drive, drive it!!!
Everyday, even in the rain ;D
Amazing Shelby!!
**Don't know why my photos got bigger on the last few, I transferred these to "my gallery" (first time) still not doing it right I reckon ???
I had the pleasure of seeing this car in person at Cars and Coffee of the Upstate in Greenville SC this past December. Could have spent hours looking at it. There's something extra cool about survivor cars. Brian
Great pics...thanks for sharing. Nightmist car?
Ok, I'll open a can of worms, look at those rivets! ;D

Wow from Robie Ford in Dorchester. Don't think they sold that many Shelby's. Back in late 67 I was at the dealer an they had a new red 427 Cobra on the floor. They were known for swapping 427s in new Mustangs at the time. I had the horny horrors for one but couldn't swing it. Got a new 68 302/4speed fastback instead.

That's crazy, but I can see anything happening in the wild, crazy 60's.
You still made a great chioce with the 4 sp-FB ;)
By chance did you get any engine bay pictures?

ALL of them should be driven they are cars meant to be used outside in all weather. The only time I'd park one is if there was salt on the road.

I did, I got only one. But remember he drives it and under the hood isn't correct. Naturally he has replacement parts store "stuff" on the engine.
It was an act of congress getting the photos up on the OP. Give me a bit and I'll post it.....
Here's the engine photo. He had the hood closed when I got there (I parked next to the 500 w/my '16 GT ;D)
So, on my way out I snapped the engine photo.
(http://www.saacforum.com/gallery/148-150418164912.jpeg)
Don't know why the photo is so big. The first few in my OP was normal, then the rest has been big. I used my cell phone and took all photos with same push of the button >:(
Thnx for sharing.
Love the patina.
Have a Survivor Mustang in slightly less "dusty" condition.
Runs and drives.
Kudos to the owner.
Incidentally it always surprises me when Survivor cars don't look anything like this.
I know they exist but this condition seems to be the most "straightforward "
Thanks for the pics...!!
All cool. Check out the cowl stamping or repair on the right side of the cowl. Wow.
I need to mention that from the picture everywhere I look under the hood something has been changed . It unfortunately should not be used as a yardstick in case someone thought to .
I already mentioned that Bob at reply #19. Besides, I'm sure these guys are smart enough to know that.
The engine is not original to the car, having been removed early on in the cars life and if I am not mistaken, substituted for a small block when George bought it. George spent years putting together the engine as time and spare funds allowed, so don't expect to garner much in the way of originality from it. You will also notice the cowl has been "sliced" open at some point. The registry states a nose replacement, but looking at the inner fender panels and rails, I believe this may be incorrect. Interior and undercarriage are all original and undisturbed, same with the trunk.
George even has a tag on the front that states, "428CJ- 8V Service Block", Lol
What a cool original Shelby!!

Richie, first off it looks like a very nice car but your #19 post wasn't specific enough IMO which is the reason for my post. What with the thread heading and all of the originality talk I thought someone else reading my get the wrong idea in the engine compartment. Again it is a nice car. It looks well preserved car in many areas just not the engine compartment. My post was obviously or so I thought not meant to warn the guys that knew better but the others less knowledgeable who may not know better .

Yea, you're right, that is your opinion!!! But, What difference does it make?? Everyone here knows what this car represents. You gotta get that last word!!!
As I've said in the past, and mostly after your comments to mine, I will not post again to this thread!!
Good day all

OK, BOB....I went back and copied/paste my #19 post.
Here it is: But remember he drives it and under the hood isn't correct. Naturally he has replacement parts store "stuff" on the engine.
Bob, If that reply wasn't SPECIFIC enough to let other know it isn't correct, then I think you need to get glasses!!!
Now, go write something negative about this post ::)
NOW, I'm done.
Have a great day all ;)
Grumpy,
In 1967 Robie received 24 cars from Shelby American directly and one car from S&C Motors, San Francisco.
Of the 24 10 were GT350 and 4 were GT500.
The S&C car was black GT350.

Did SAI remove the Fenders when building these Cars? It looks like the Tag was installed and then the Fender was installed with Sealer which oozed out as the fender was bolted down.

False clue in that you can easily stick the vin plate under the sealer back then when it was pliable if need be in the same way you can do it today during a restoration. Besides we have pictures of how the cars were delivered to SA with fenders. There was no reason to go to extra work to remove a fender for a typical 67 Shelby conversion. .

Any note of the 427 Cobra street car ?? Robie Ford din't last long.

I use to own a Robie Ford Shelby...
# 1694......
It was sitting in a guy's backyard and it was a factory paxton 67 GT 350.....
Imagine that.....
And the more I think of it I use to own a 67 GT 500
Another Robie Ford Shelby..
A woman called me one day and said her boyfriend needed to sell his Shelby ASAP..
I asked if I could talk to him..
She said I couldn't....
He was in prison
It was # 2505....

Hi 69mach351w
first let me thank you for sharing these great pictures. I truly appreciate them. Secondly don't stop posting as this is a open forum open to all. Keep them coming.
Everyone have a nice day.
Thanks FL SAAC TONY,
I intend on doing just that !!
Have a Great Day all 8)
Grumpy,
Sorry I don not have information on the red 427.
I haven't started to compile information on the Cobras yet. Way too much on the 1965-1967 GT350-GT500.
I have collected bits and pieces on the 1968-1970 and some minor stuff on the Cobras. Maybe more time later.
Perhaps someone else can help you out.
Dennis
Car appears to have the vinyl sheathing over the center headlight wiring which surprises me for such an early serial number. No sheath on the amp gauge harness.
