Mecum sold one of these posters for over $3500 this summer (2023).   

This poster is as nice (or nicer.)  Ready for display in a collector's office or garage.

One of the most iconic Shelby American posters ever produced.  Celebration of the three 1963 Cobra championships.  Designed by Pete Brock, these 1963 posters were supplied to SAI dealers and sold through the mail to Cobra enthusiasts.

This is one of the posters mailed to individuals back in the day.  I personally unfolded it from it's original mailer decades ago and had the poster framed and glass covered for preservation. 

Guaranteed to be the real deal or your money back. 

Rare - original - unfaded - no thumb tack holes - no creases (other than those made when SAI folded it for mailing) - in other words, the rarest of the rare.

It's framed and glass, so I estimate it will cost $125 for packaging and insured UPS shipping (signature required) to continental USA locations.  Any excess shipping charges will be refunded to you.  Due to the fragile nature of this historic item, NO overseas buyers or shipping.

If seriously interested, please email me for photos and/or with your questions:  galtsgulch2@bellsouth.net

$2500

IMHO, a great deal - it's nearly impossible to find nice 7.35's.  If only I still had a 289....

I'd enjoy seeing any photos of her driving a '65 GT350.  Not exactly an easy-driving car, especially for a San Francisco dweller.  Hmmmmm.

Senator Di usually had a chauffeur, but since there's no back seat in a 1965 GT350 it's doubtful that she was ever in the car. 

Too bad we can't ask her 20 year long chauffeur about the GT350, alas, he suddenly had to leave for communist China:

Great looking GT350.  Love the color, wheels, stripes, etc.  Curious about the top surface of the inner fender near the right side hood hinge (might be my bad eyesight).

Notebook filled with old 1965/66 GT350 magazine articles.  Approx 140 pages. 

Similar to notebook sold by Mecum earlier this month for over $1600!  My price is only $225. 

I started collecting these articles in 1964 (nearly 60 years ago).  Articles are in plastic sleeves.

If you want pictures or shipping costs, please email me at:  galtsgulch2@bellsouth.net
and include your "ship to" address, etc.   (I'm unable to post or send pics through SAAC email system.)

Buyer pays for USPS priority mail shipping.  No overseas sales or shipping.

Happy 4th of July, America!

One gallon of old school Guardsman Blue Metallic acrylic lacquer.  Hard to find today and perfect for the concours minded shop (1965/66 stripes, Cobras, GT40's, SAI racers).  Unlike modern day acrylic lacquers, this Sherwin Williams lacquer is the real deal with excellent flow out and durability (made before the EPA ban on lead content).  After mixing with solvent, this will make 2 to 2.5 gallons of ready to spray paint.  Compare to the cost of today's paint.

It has been properly stored and unopened since I bought it several decades ago.

FREE local pickup in Ocala, Florida or $65 for UPS shipping (signature required) to continental USA locations.  No overseas shipping. $475.

mlplunkett:  Sent you a PM regarding Guardsman Blue paint.

He's a very good driver in any car he's piloting, including this Superformance replica GT40. 

Murray Kellner was from Locanto FL which is in Citrus County (note lettering on door in first pic).  The Raydyot mirror in second pic was mounted in the door side window bushing and the bullet mirror mounted on the cowl. Easy to unbolt the Raydyot mirror and relocate the bullet mirror to the fender.  I did the 1st restoration of 2557 approx 40 years ago.  It was a very original USRRC at the time.  Cheers

Probably USRRC Cobra CSX2557, Murray Kellner.

I have a NOS one in the tan/brown box. Box is raggety,but cap is fine. FoMoCo in oval logo. Real deal no funny stuff. $260 shipped to most US locations.

Thank you for the offer.  Yes, I would like to buy it.  Please PM me with address so I can send payment, asap.  Thanks!

Looking to buy a nice, original, "driver quality" 1965/66 B7A-12106-A FoMoCo 289 distributor cap. Not looking for a repro or Motorcraft. Please PM me if you have one. Thanks!

For those who might be interested:  One idiosyncrasy specific to the original 1960's FoMoCo C6FE 289 cylinder heads was the bolt hole to the right side of each exhaust port was drilled through into the water jacket.  Back in the day, after seeing water seeping out near several exhaust ports, more than one mechanic concluded the head was cracked.

The preferred cure was to install a short set screw (with sealant) deep under the header bolt, or apply sealant to the header bolt threads.

As Randy correctly posted, cracks in original C6FE heads were quite common.  Usually, the cracks occurred at the lower outer corners of the head.
