Looking for a source for shock bushings for a 1966 GT350
Rubbers, nuts and washers
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

It would be important to know which shock one is using. If you car is under approximately 900 it would have Koni's from the factory . If higher then approximately 900 it would come with Ford adjustable shocks from the factory.  The Ford adjustable use a different type of upper bushing compared to a Koni version. Because of availability the majority of 66 owners choose to run a Koni shock vintage or later versions. If using Koni's the as mentioned Cobra Automotive alternative parts will work but they are a different material and especially the upper bushings will look different in shape compared to vintage original. Just in case that matters I wanted to bring that attention for those reading . If that is a secondary consideration then the Cobra Automotive Parts will work fine for the Koni's.

Changing from Koni's to the Ford adjustable, shape and material not a problem, just want them to fit. May not like them and change back to the Koni's which I've had on the car since 72

Cruise night, I can almost see it from my house

The first rule of the Southern Maryland SAAC chapter is, there are no scheduled meetings, no dues, and no officers
I see that the Rod and Reel just announced the parking garage roof top cars and coffee , 2nd Friday of each month, April through October
Maybe another "meeting" should take place
The restaurant 1936 serves great burgers and is located attached to the parking garage
Your thoughts?

First drive of the new year, a little cold, a little drizzle. Met up with the unofficial Southern Maryland Shelby Club
Phil, Charlie, David, Corey and me all met for lunch. Great time with lots of stories
All Shelby owners, Phil 68 GT350, Charlie 67 GT500, Corey, 68 GT350, David 68 GT500 and me 66 GT350H

Hard to believe that sign was almost 60 years old

The flathead is such a great looking engine, right up there with Buick nailheads

It's a cool but perfect day so I went out for a nice ride along the back Roads of the Chesapeake Bay
Tomorrow starts a new year with lots of driving
Wishing everyone a safe and prosperous 2024

You need to be into Model A's and you will see a lot more folks dying off.

Used to be at Hershey there would literally a hundred or more, now just a handful. I did see a "restored" 1983 Honda Accord a few years back and just this year an early 90's Toyota Camry in the show field.

I turned 32 that year and became a father for the first time that year

My Home Track! The Cobra knows it well. I teach there many times a year.

Looking forwards to a fun time! Watching for all future announcements.

Got one. Got any interesting trades

Got my "Last Drive of 2023" planned for tomorrow

Want to meet up on News Years day for lunch?  An unofficial Southern Maryland SAAC meeting ? I'll contact Corey and the the possible newest "Member",  David, he owns a 1968 GT500 convertible, he lives at the other end of Rt.260

Me and the original owner
He bought it after it came out of Hertz service in late 66-early 67 and I purchased it in Dec 1971
