I have an original, 68 Shelby Sales Brochure for sale. It is in excellent condition and is signed by Carroll Shelby.
I have owned this for 15 plus years....i knew John Ashboure who ran the Shelby Heart Trust here in the UK and if Carroll came over he would often stay at John's home.
John kindly arranged for Carroll to sign the brochure for me, but it is dedicated to me.
I am asking $400 including postage to any US purchaser.
For detailed pictures and any other information, please email me at:
faulknerstevens@btinternet.com
Many thanks Alan.

Hello Guys, many thanks for the information.

Thanks again

Cars For Sale / Re: 1966 GT350 Carry-Over for sale UK

Thank you so much for your detailed response.
You are quite correct in your definitions of a cars correctness, we try to follow the same ethos here in the UK.
Those of us involved with Shelby cars try our best to follow the lead of the US SAAC restorations as they will always have better access to detailed information. However we do speak to many of the best known judges who have, in my experience, been so kind and helpful to allow us to do a better job by imparting what they know.
I can confirm all the chassis stampings are original and correct to the car, along with the stamped numbers in the block.
Again the main date coded components do correspond to the cars build date but of course as you say, could have been changed in the past.
Once the old black paint was stripped from the shell, the car showed the most Factory correct body pieces i have come across on a Shelby, of course bearing in mind i only have 45 years direct experience, i would never claim to have the expertese of many of the US long time Shelby guys. I could have easily missed a very fine detail only they would know.
But every detail was photographed and any relevant number noted for future reference.
It is a great car in my humble opinion and was a great joy to help the owner restore it.

Thanks for your post, as the car is #240...it can only be a Carry-Over, verfied by Bill Collins.

A known US history, again verified by some previous and known US owners.

Thank you for putting the link of the forum, very much appreciated.

The car has its original extra Super-charger gauges mounted under the dash, hence the plastic pipe in the bay, feeding one of the gauges.

The transmission [aluminum T10] and differential are correctly dated, fully in-line with the build date of the car.
