Wanted to Buy / looking for 68 Shelby parts
« on: March 07, 2022, 08:42:47 PM »
I have a 68 GT500 convertible that was wrecked years ago in the rear. Im finally getting around to a full restoration and I'm hunting some parts. I need a set of fiberglass quarter extensions , rear fiberglass taillamp panel, right quarter panel  and a frt valance. Let me know what you have. Thanks Olaf

Hello all, Im working on 1453 . While  installing my quarter large trim panels I notice my car was missing the lower brackets that the panels attach to. I looked at my before  pictures and they dont show the bracket . These brackets  are tack welded in. I also searched the web and found pictures of other Shelbys without the brackets. Was this a Shelby thing and if so do the lower trim panels just float there? Thanks for any info. Olaf

Wanted to Buy / wanted 66 auto trans tag PCW-BA

hello just thought I would put this out there. I have the C4 66 transmission for my Shelby but I guess over the years the tag was lost. If anyone has one or knows someone that reproduces it I need one. Many thanks Olaf

Hello, Im restoring Hertz 6S1453 which was mostly a complete car . It did have its share of required bodywork . Before I go down this road I will say I restore cars and have restored many collectible Mustangs and rare Fords for years.

So as I put this car together I prefer to use as many original parts as possible especially parts the car came with. That being said there are some parts like lets say the rear 1/4 windows and the surrounding exterior and interior trim that are original but cant be made to look like new. Ive decided to mix and match things like put repo plastic windows in but use the chrome aluminum trim which isnt perfect. The inside trim is warped but original, Exchange or reuse???  I have repo ones but as ever one knows the repo parts are never exactly the same.

 Im building this car for myself and I know some will say build it as you want but I want the car to not only turn out very nice but also retain as much as possible of its originality thus preserving its value. The reality is Ive used many repo parts especially when NOS stuff is hard to find. The car is turning out great but am I on the right track? Olaf

Up for sale an original 65 Shelby rear end housing. This housing came with my 66 Shelby project. The housing was blasted and powder coated. Priced at $2200 plus delivery. There are repo housings available in bare steel for $1600 and powder coating costs about $150 so here is your chance to own an original unit vs a repo for near the same price.

1966 Shelby GT350/GT350H / need help rear housing question
« on: September 23, 2020, 10:27:49 PM »
hello to all! I bought my car 1453 (built in March) with what appears to be an original 65 9" rear housing. I was told it should have the normal 66 housing with a fill nut plug in the rear. I bought what I was told was an original 66 K code housing. My question is the new rear housing looks like a 66 but doesnt have a tapered tube like the 65.  I dont want to make a mistake. Advice would be appreciated. Olaf
