Hi again,
Looks like Guardsman Blue was what most  Shelby team  cars were.It makes sense looking at the pictures

Hi a look in  Ronnie Spain's book says H.M. completed for Daytona in Feb 1966 as white and placed 3rd.For Sebring it was a Shelby team car resprayed dark metallic blue.Although in the lead on the last lap would have been 2nd ! Gurney pushed it and was disqualified!!! It was then handed back to H.M.who resprayed it dark blue for LeMans It only lasted 7 hours.Next changed to Bronze for Daytona then it says Gold for LeMans in 67 this time part of  a night wreck.Hope this answers the question Regards R.R

Hello and welcome to the SAAC forum,
A simple thought is it may be wise to contact "Lee Holman" of Holman & Moody. They worked with Ford on 427 engines for multiple applications, and should know something about tracking I.D. #
any pictures or info from years ago mentions experimental part numbers, so far that is all I have ever found. Best of luck on the book project!!

Hi cobra fans,
You can add me to the list of coulda shoulda woulda bought it after seeing it and even talking to Mr. Brock about it....I had only enough money for gas to get home and have since watched it go
off the price scale. A good friend has a copy and has allowed me to read it. Very inside info on how these cars were built. I also have been lucky enough to see all but CSX2287 in person....someday
I will get to Dr. Simones  Museum to see this car and complete the list. Both Pete Brock and George Stauffer have said it was a one time deal....Pete is still not happy (he was supposed to proof
read it prior to printing and was never given the chance.) Just so you know the book on CSX2300 is also very nice...and I could not let it pass...

Hi,
Just a quick note to say THANKS!! I really am impressed. This is exactly what was needed.
Regards R.R.

Hi "68 fans,
I would like to get a picture of a hood pin bracket that mounts on the radiator support.. The brackets that came with the car had the rivets ground out and the wire bails were missing.
Managed to get bracket and bails and now need to rivet them together--at this point a picture of the under side would be very helpful...Thanks in advance.

Hi to everyone that reads and comments here....
This is really really AMAZING!!.We are so lucky to have people like this still here with good memories of how much fun the 1960's stuff was and still is for many of us.
Many THANKS for sharing/posting.
Regards R.R.   AKA Anthony   J.D.  I will call you soon...

Hi All 67 fans,
Just curious where the pic in post # 307 was from....simply says 1967...it is an unusual pic for several reasons (angle-lighting-and color to name a few)
Thanks in advance for providing it....would really love to know more.
R.R.

Hi Eric,
I measured the angle as about 50 degrees....hard to pinpoint exact with the bottom stainless trim in place.
Hope this helps out
Regards R.

Hi all 67 fans,
Just a quick upgrade--the Brittany Blue car Richstang is curious about is part of a new article in the latest "members only " magazine..
shows as a long time cal. owner-and was originally from Oregon. Hope this helps!
R.R.  P.S GREAT PICS from back in the day!! very enjoyable...Thanks to all contributors....

Hi to all 67 fans,
I am looking at this white car and think it is #0050 which was used plenty by magazines as a P.R. car. Details that help are trunk lid fit esp left side to end cap....
It would be much easier if someone would be able to date this picture...without a date we will still be guessing. The theme was a very interesting design and I think that is why people used it as a backdrop for photos. Still cool after all these years to see this stuff show up!! Thanks for sharing.
Regards R.R.

Hi Randy &  All 67 Fans,
Just checked and found a great article on this in the BOSS 302 Registry 1992 Edition
Also checked and counted 16 teeth on the driven gear (on the speedo cable)  As stated the biggest change is the tire circumference which must match the original tire to maintain any
accuracy. Many tire manufacturers have a chart that gives you Revolutions Per Mile With this info and some simple math it is easy to figure out. The odometer is what must be accurate. (speedo is
usually close when odometer is within the 3% allowable range.
Really great to know you have driven the car !!!
Regards R.R.

Hi All,
This is a prime example of how rumors and urban legends spread...when re reading this it can be put simpler and should be...the 1967 cars were done by Mc Hose in the summer of 1966
Ford brought Fred Goodell in to try and save a very failed launch and streamline production. This was done in 1966 not 1967 as stated elsewhere. In 1967 Fred hired John Chun to design the
1968 car, which was also done with many other people from A.O. SMITH  They made much more effort to launch a fresh car on time......and even added a convertible to the lineup.
Regards R.R.

Hi all 67 fans!
Just a correction to the correction Fred Goodell was sent by Ford to SAI and was officially hired in Dec 1966 I think the 5th....he was there before hand and he corrected and sped up many of
the build procedures of the 67.....This is in the registry and the book on Cal. specials by Paul Newitt. hope this helps clarify.
