Two young men lost their lives here.
There is something unseemly, if not revulsive, about this opportune cast of characters, their transparent stories and the co-opting of this horrible circumstance for a few shekels and the chance to drive a 'Cobra' on the cheap. All it took was a little 'integrity'.
No one is fooled here.

I don’t think I have ever looked under a 1967 Shelby Mustang, I’ve been cloistered in the 1965 GT-350 world.
What I do know from the 1965 world is that era photos have consistently been the most accurate source in dispelling and enlightening in areas of confusion. Since all of these cars in this one picture have primer noses I would hope my 1967 colleagues would be keeping an eye open for a production line photos w painted noses perhaps.
Love those 67s though, especially w the centered lamps! Cheers!!

(FWIW-in post #9 that's a UAL B720-talk about inefficient!)

Very nice car.
I believe it has been in Denbeste's since the owner passed away (?).
Too bad pics aren't of higher resolution.
I've heard (but haven't verified) that it is a Conover restoration.
Note the 6" wheels.

A Mercury K code is a 289/210hp whereas a Ford K code is a 289/271hp.

Here is my engine block:

15” x 6.00”

C5ZX-1007A

That is how I found mine some 45+ yrs ago (I'm second owner).
This really highlights the problem of: 'words once written take on a life of their own' which has been so problematic for the accurate restoration of these first year cars.
If only we had something like the NCRS.

Now if only the myth of the 15” x  5 1/2” wheels could finally be dispelled....
