I put my money down for the new 1966 Shelby Registry. Hope it comes soon. Exciting

I am upgrading my cars information for the new upcoming 1966 Registry. My car is  6S1348 and I have owned it for about 40 years. The 2011 SAAC Registry turns out is not correct about the original owner of this car. He appears to have owned a different car so we do not know at this time who first bought 1348 in 1966.
The car was originally shipped by Shelby on 4/7/1966 to Henderson Ford,  Ann Arbor, Michigan. The second owner, Patrick Brady ( AKA Pat Brady Racing Ent.) showed an address of Plymouth, MI. The third owner is Lawrence Oswald of San Diego, CA. Do you know of any information about this cars early years ownership from 1966 to 1971. Do you know or know of the original owner or either of the past owners or their racing with the car.  I would be very appreciative.

Thank you in advance,

Wanted to buy a set of Original 1966 sill plate emblems. Used or Nos...No Reproductions Please.

Thanks,

Wanting to buy original 1966 sill plate emblems NOS or used. Original used sill plates with emblems would be fine. The parts are for 6S1348 a original paint and interior driver. I took the originals off in the 1980's and replaced them with NOS sill plates and repo emblems. The originals went up in my garage, but 20 years later I could not find them. I have been caretaker of this car for 35 years and because it is mostly original I want to keep it that way as much as possible.
Thank You,

Some years ago I put a repo wiper bag on 6S1348 because it looked fresher. The one that was on the car
when I bought it in 1982 went into my collection of parts. I had to move some of my stuff last week to
reorganize my garage. In a box I found the original wiper bag, at least I think it is.
I think the right hand bag is repo and the left hand is an original.
Is this correct? I appreciate your opinion.

Thanks,

Would someone please tell me if the air cleaner wing nut has one or two dimples on the bottom.

After reading the Sill Plate Emblem discussion for the 1967s it brings to mind what are the 1966 sill plate styles and how do the relate to Shelby numbers. I know there was past discussion about this but thats gone so here is the new question.

Thanks.

After seeing the pictures of the 1966 GT 350's I wondered how many of these cars are known and owned regardless of condition?
How many are known to have been destroyed wreck, fire, or other...
I remember seeing a picture of burned out one after a California fire in 2002 I think.

I have been reading the 1966 350 valuation post and find it very interesting. I have a question here I would like some clarity on.

I would like to know what is "original drive train"

is that any engine-trans that is vin stamped correct to the car vin from Ford and came in the car from Ford?

is that a hipo and T10 just not the ones that came in the car from Ford?

Not arguing any point just trying to be clear.

Thanks,
