1967 Shelby GT350/500 / Re: Period pictures, historical perspective

I posted it on the original forum from an issue of Hot Rod Magazine (could have been Pop Hotrodding too)  I still have all the mags, so I will come across it again as I scan them in and dispose of them all

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / Re: When did OTT LeMans stripes become a thing?

As for the original question? Original Ford Illustrative art had stripes on the cars... remember the two arcing around a curve away from the viewer? I agree with all the posters that say it started right away... when it became "expected"... hell... when was it expected on the 65s and 66s? Easily by the early 70s. because of the race heritage of the earlier cars and the fitting to the styling of the 67s.  stripes on 68s... is another matter all together

In the years before briggs, cars were painted colors according to their country of origin.  The U.S. was White and Blue, Briggs was the first notable 'merican and his style of application set a trend....

Can straight and dog-legged bars be differentiated from under the car?

Here is a similar gauge panel of unknown heritage (HEY!I resemble that remark!)... 5 1/2 wide by 2 5/8 tall, with gauge holes enlarged for 2 5/8 gauges.

I would like to buy a number if the postage does not go up by the corresponding amount-- 4 to 8 that may be shared at a reasonable price here in the States.

Has anyone compared them side by side to note the difference?  My wheels are restored (albeit worn) originals.

The banner(s) were a great idea, I love how they came out.

1966 Shelby GT350/GT350H / Re: Automatic Transmission build dates in early deliveries?

The tagedge shape should have a flat area on both ends where the metal ribbon was run through the impression die then each individual tag would be snapped off. This was likely the origin of corrosion growth across the tag if anywhere. Making the dies to create a faithful tag shape with the fatigue tear away areas would be relatively easy, IMHO. The impression dies are just not something I could do in my simple shop.

1966 Shelby GT350/GT350H / Automatic Transmission build dates in early deliveries?
« on: December 01, 2020, 08:25:18 PM »
For the first 50 or so 66 chasses delivered (i.e. 253-310), what do we know of the build dates on the ID tags on those AUTOMATIC transmissions?  Does anyone have a tag photo from one of these transmissions, or what was stamped on one???

Is anyone aware of someone who has the trans tunnel snubbler bounce plate that is opposite of the 9 inch snubber for 65-6 still in stock?

My stepdaughter sent my cherished Creative Masters' GT350 cascading down a flight of stairs... There was something about paying near the price to replace pieces compred to buying anew that challenged my sensibilities. I retain the vacuum cleaner bags searching for pieces to this day, 25 years later... guess I should give it up and give the model a patina look... much like your jack stand idea.
