The fit and finish of the fiberglass on that last picture looks pretty good.

Does anyone know what number cars these were?

#50 and #100 would be my guess...

           Notice, in the above frontal view: take a close look, on the driver's side and it appears, the edge
           of the hood, in this area, is lower than the fender.   

           This is not unusual, as the edge, of my '67 GT350's hood, (I bought the Shelby, brand new, in May of
            1967) was lower, than the fender, on the drivers side.

           In contrast, my other '67 GT350's hood, had a serious, upward bow, of about a half inch, in the same     
           area, but on both sides. I obtained, this Shelby, from the original buyer, and he confirmed, it had been
           that way, from new.

           The '67 fiberglass, had some interesting issues.

Another set, this looks like a magazine photo shoot, location given was Bridgehampton, NY.

This one has had my attention for a while. It appears to have MFG plates "013" so I'm thinking it's a company car.
(Can't read the full number, Maybe 1Z or 1C)
With the large letter Goodyear's it just might be #0254 out of Dockery Ford (the earliest white GT500 built company car).

I believe Vern may have posted photos of it at the May '67 USSRC race in Bridgehampton, with the "Press Car" sign on the door.

Nice pics!  It looks like it has the flat tail panel and curved gas cap; which would make sense, given the Shelby#.

I feel bad for the 67 Camero sitting to it's right front...never stood a chance against a Shelby!  ;)

Hello Everyone,

Yes, JD is correct.  Those photos were taken by Sports Car Graphic and Motor Trend and are of cars 0050 and 0100.

Thanks,
