1966 Shelby GT350/GT350H / 6S1530
« on: August 09, 2023, 12:17:46 PM »
I see that this car is for sale in California.  I don't own a current Shelby Registry.  Does anyone have any information on this car?  Thanks in advance.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / HELP--Date and casting codes on 1967 GT500.
« on: October 11, 2021, 09:26:21 AM »
     I am negotiating on the purchase of a 1967 GT500 (automatic) with 21,xxx supposedly documented original miles.  Current owner has extensive documentation dating back to 1988 including mileages at oil changes, parts replaced, etc.  Here are my concerns:
     1)  Car was originally sold in GA and then was in TX.  The car was stripped to bare metal/fiberglass and repainted in original colors in 1989, when it was only 22 years old.  There is no documentation as to why this was done.  Accident?  Paint fade due to Texas sun/heat?
     2)  No documentation of engine having been replaced.  However, casting date on C6ME-A block is 6G12, which seems too early for a 1967 car.  Especially a 1967 that is not an early car.  From what I have read, most casting dates were within a month or two of the build date.
     3)  Heads are C8AE-H.  From my research, it appears that these could be from basically any non-high performance 428 or possibly from a 1968 Shelby application.
     4)  Distributor is a C80F.  My research shows this is a 1968 part.
     5)  Carbs are correct C3AF-9510-BJ and non-correct C3AE-9510-BK.
     6)  I am familiar with the Shelby registry but am unsure if this car is in the registry and how I would gain access to the registry information.

     I have been a Shelby fan my entire life and have several Mustangs, including a 1969 GT500.  However, this car would be a major investment and I don't want to commit to purchase without some advice from people who know a lot more about these cars than me.  Thanks in advance for your help!
