Here are some more shots for historical perspective, but not with Shelby cars in them.

Your second round of photos look to be from the July 1966 races-#17 Charlie Kolb-Porsche 906 (winner), #21-George Avent-Lotus 23, #77-John Lewis-Scorpion (Troutman and Barnes Scorpion)...etc.

In agreement with rockhouse66-#18 GT350 is the Roger West 5r538 R-model at Daytona 1967, not Sebring (#18 for Sebring 1967-is the Dos Caballos Van Beuren GT350 R-model 5r108).

As an aside, it is interesting to note how many people in the photos are slim and in prime physical shape compared to people of comparable age today.

#18 is definitely at Daytona waiting to get to the gas pumps on the right, not visible in the picture.
