It was a good buy. I think the repro tag on top of the color change really hurt it.
Dave

I agree 100%

Congrats on the find!

They must have painted a lot of green cars on that day of production.

"Are you sure you want to do that?" comes up almost every time I post.  And "BaT is reviewing your comment", too

The "Reviewing your comment" usually comes right after a RNM auction.  Sometimes right away sometimes a little while later. On that 66 I posted 3 comment during the day and they didn't post any of them while they posted many others from other users. They censor the comments. If a car sells they do not review the comments but once-and only once-I had a day where they were reviewing my comments all day long on different auctions. I've called BaT out on some of this and of course other users never saw it because it was a comment directed at BaT they were definitely not going to post. I've been flagged once and what I was flagged for was a joke. It was definitely the seller who flagged me and he is a high end seller who sells a lot of cars on BaT. It was about the darkness of his pics didn't show what most buyers would want to see detail wise. They are "frameable" types of pics. But what buyer wants fluff pics? They want to see the warts not have them hidden by professional photography.

They have an algorithm called trolltrace now, you must be on that list.

Hey guy with 2 first names I'm adding you to my ignore list like so many others have. You add zero to conversation and attack people. You are a sad little man. If they had troll trace on here you and your little buddy Antonio would be gone. LOL

Two first names? As usual I think you are confused but still dead set on sharing an opinion as a fact.

My car is originally an automatic however now lives with a four speed and Hurst shifter. Curious what the 66 manual Shelby Mustangs have for a cover plate. I have seen a few pictures with what appears to be a floating chrome bezel. Below is the current configuration. Does it need a bezel is my question.

My boot kept splitting from the floating bezel so I went with the deluxe and no more boot splitting!

A bit skeptical on this one. On the 'description' it says CLEAR TITLE. Yet, it was a salvaged car? A title washing?

It is a civil transaction between the owner and insurance company, so unless it's reported to the dmv by one of the parties involved it remains clean.

That car will return, hopefully when it's done it's retired from track use.

What number car is it?

No two cars are alike so there is no "market". Over time different makes and models do move up and down but even in the most general sense it is still ends up car specific as to what brings more. I have been to auctions many times, most of the cars are awful.

That was the service part. I'm pretty sure it had a S2MS part number on it.

I bought one as a Ford Service Part in 1972. There was no horn button available for it. It wasn't cheap. It was $125 then.

I'm not sure if the '67 version ever had a S7MS part number or if they all were just the S2MS?

The inflation calculator says that would be $911 today, that was expensive..

@427hunter the Steering Wheel is in one of the last built 67 Shelbys I´m not sure if Shelby had more shortage on some parts like it was with fiberglass, seat trim etc. that he maybe put some parts in the car he had left. From what I have seen in the last 20 years primarily on the last built cars there were some parts on that shouldn´t be there like a louvered hod on a non louvered hood car etc. but you never know if it came with these parts if you don't have the history from Shelby or the day it was bought by the first owner.

So the question is were really all 67s Shelby equipped with the EFFPI Steering Wheels or are there cars known that came with a Secura FIV from LAX?

The Secura FIV with the black tabs is the only one I have ever seen in my life, maybe someone here has seen another one? I really would like to know what it would be worth.

Here is the F.I.V. on my 66 it looks the same excecpt for the horn button. It would be interesting to know what F.I.V. wheels were in the Shelby sales catalog and when? 

Quote from: Kent on January 20, 2024, 04:34:35 AM
This is also a SECURA F.I.V. aftermarket and much more common without the 3 black tabs in a GT500 67

The non black tab F.I.V. wheel looks the same as my 66 F.I.V. wheel, only the horn button is different. Do you know the history of that non black tab wheel and how it got on that 67?

The car in question was built 7 week before the distributor and there was not a 4 barrel 351 Windsor in 1970 to require an emissions related distributor swap at A.O. Smith. Unless every other 70 gt350 had a after build date distributor, Someone changed it out at some point. Now if this was a BAT auction the
" shelbymann1970 " would be screeching "incorrect part - incorrect part", but here there is a discussion to determine what the facts are.

Hey if you still haven't noticed in your anger ands quickness to attack me  I STARTED this topic. You are trying to frame me as someone I am not ,hence, you are an asshole plain and simple and a negative to our hobby as in whast have you ever contributed to this forum other than biased opinions and attacks. I don't know what your issues are and you definitely have issues others have pointed out to me privately. I started a few topics in regards to the history of 1970s and correct parts-which You do not own- and distributors as much focus has always been on the GT500s and not the GT350s and not much has been researched on distributors and the vacuum schematics and vacuum advances on these cars as not a lot converted. So since you know nothing on this topic you should just go away as you add ZERO value to this subject. Again 

Your life appears to be a great success, ha ha ha - you are a legend in your own mind.
