Szabo,

MANY Thanks - Well Done!! I appreciate it very much.

Sadly though, this revelation means that I will not be able to acquire this article and stitch those pages together! Because of the almost-‘unacquirable’ publication in which they are contained!

Alas, one of the most regretful incidents of my Shelby life is having a brand new copy of that book in my hands at a Road America / Elkhart Lake, Wis. Shelby event, and passing on it because of its then princely price tag of $125. I just couldn’t make myself pull the trigger at that time…

I have been reliving that forehead slap moment every day I have looked back on it since then.

Thanks again for your help!
This now becomes another chapter in that infamous moment from my past.

Does anyone know the source of this article? I grabbed these separate images somewhere but would like to get the magazine(?) and then scan & stitch them together.

Thanks!

Possibly - I was taking it literally I guess! Always trying to be a stickler for historical accuracy of my records...

Hopefully Colin chimes in and addresses your suggestion.
 
Pretty clever.
If so, it got me!!

CSX 2000 Series / Calling KRANKY
« on: February 14, 2023, 12:29:02 PM »
KRANKY,

I cannot find a listing of Ken Miles in a #60 Cobra in your 1963-65 Race Records, unless I missed it. And there's no description of this cover photo, or credit for it, inside the book.

Can you help me with which chassis # this is, and at which event this photo was taken at?
(the hood vents made me think CSX2002, but I never found anything with it as #60)

Thanks,
Kieth

To my knowledge, no.
How that little nugget of history was not retained by anyone is beyond comprehension to me...

It appears to be an original earlier ‘67 sand cast top and bottom and they had the straight leg “R” as well as other different letter shapes/features.  The first sand cast lids were natural aluminum finish and the second variation was black crinkle painted like the one in the first post.  I can’t tell from the pictures, but the side/edge of the lid should be aluminum finished as well, no crinkle paint.  The picture Wedgeman posted is of a die cast, curved leg “R” that was used later in ‘67-‘68.


I agree that the pictured air cleaner assembly is genuine and was typical for early GT500's prior to the introduction of the die cast base and lid.

Thanks for your response Bob

Okay, Thanks Phillip.
I should have Googled it (oops) but was glad to have learned about the term from you nonetheless.

The kerning of the “R” and the “A” are WAY different indeed between the sand cast and the diecast versions of the ‘67 air cleaner lids!

I would say this is a later produced piece I have some similar ones here and also some originals, and also if you have the originals and later produced ones side by side its hard to divide them.

Thanks Kent. Sorry, I am not clear on what you mean by “originals” and “later produced ones”??

I mean, the sand cast ones in bare aluminum were made first - and then in black krinkle. Then the diecast ones were made “later” in both (again) bare aluminum and black krinkle (I THINK the diecast ones were made in both finishes, but would like confirmation).

So in my paragraph above, are both “originals” and “later produced ones” - but both types (to me) ARE originals. Thus my confusion with your reply…

Thanks again,
Kieth

Also very long discussion here:

Thanks for the links Roy - much appreciated. I had already digested them both in my search for air cleaner education. I feel confident in my ability to ID the sand cast and the diecast versions, but still lack a clear understanding of what constitutes the reproductions…

The search for knowledge continues!

Thanks,
Kieth
