Hi all,

I have a question about my early 67 Shelby GT500.

My car was ordered on 11/08/66 and realised from San Jose 12/28/66.
Completed by Shelby 1/25/67 and shipped 1/30/67.

My question is:
My engine block casting date code is 6H19 and assembly date of the engine is 6J28 9. The chylinder heads casting date is 6J 13 and the other one is 6J8.

My engine is a correct date code for my car please?

Thanks Kyle.

The very early 67 GT 500's could precede assembly date at San Jose by up to 5 months. As production continued the dates got closer to each other.

Yes, we have Morrison's Vin. and it doesn't match the claim.
Dave

I have emailed you a number of times and you refuse to answer. You seem to think you have all the answers.

Many including myself thought my car was the MORRISON car in the beginning, because it used to run around the same places jims car used to be, and was raced and enjoyed in its first few years of life. A few variables between cars is mine was a lot faster back in the day with many engine transplants but they were both removed from street driving duties around the same time 1971- So mine was known back then as BLUE CHEER apparently. CHEER-Y enough just not Jims car...

NOT TRUE. Do your homework. Too bad you refuse to communicate with the people who know the history of your car.

That car is not the Morrison car. Wrong vin. number. That owner went so far as to change the factory black interior to parchment to make it more like the Morrison car. What experts? They didn't know what they were looking at.

Wanted to buy

I believe he is referring to a non Shelby. Marti has factory records and could easily assist if he wanted to. Ordering the reports could also get him there.
Dave

The top should have rivets.
Dave

I would rather have an 05-06 FGT but they are not affordable. Wish Ford would build more of them.

Ford needs to get their act together and come up with something comparable and affordable. We are going to be seeing a lot of these Z06's on the race circuit.
Dave

I want one.

This car was rebodied around 2010. The Ford numbers stamped in the chassis are not typical for a San Jose built unit assembled 5/29/67. The same goes for the stamped Shelby Vin. This chassis has a number early 67 features but is a late car. The block date is after 1967 production. The auction house is correct calling it a tribute or clone.

Ok that is interesting, so all non ac cars with Louvered Hoods recieved them later by a dealer for warranty or by the owner? The Daily Production Sheets what else do they tell? Can you show us one? Its really interesting to see that, so maybe its easier to find out which parts are correct on a car and which not. Thanks for the information.

And Bob the Mic is always on, this a forum and a club to discuss and learn you should know that. Thanks you and all the other great people here for helping us every day with you knowledge.

I´m 38 years now and I dont know that much like you maybe because I have lot of business going on, building fast cars and doing some restorations, but I already had and own some Shelbys and I will own some more in my life.

I think its important to have the mic always on, or the next generation will really drop the mic sell off their collections and after some years this all will be forgotten history. I really hope not.

Kent,
Like you have done in the past, if you have a question about a car you own or a car you are considering, feel free to email me directly.
Dave

Kent,
Some people want to believe their hoods were put on at the factory 54 years ago but have not done their homework. Yes, a couple of cars received them under warranty from a dealer but we have a good idea which cars they are.
The proof of which cars received louvered hoods at the Shelby comes from the factory Daily Poduction Sheets which noted by Vin. which cars received the louvered hoods. All of those cars had factory AC.
Dave

Originally no, however a couple cars did end up with them under warranty as a replacement. After production, the first hoods that Ford ran out of were the smooth hoods. From then on louvered hoods were the only hoods available until they they were depleted. That is why we see some non AC cars with the louvered hoods.
