January 1967 ad to sell a 1966 GT 350
« on: August 26, 2019, 05:54:47 PM »
I just noticed this ad in the January 1967 issue of Road & Track (the one with the "CS" DC 3 at LAX on the cover).

Too bad there's no Frank Volberg listed in the Registry, it would be fun for the current owner of this car to see an ad for his car from 52 years ago - unless someone here knows which car this is:

1966 GT350H owner since June 30, 1976

By 8,000 miles the bluestreaks would have been about 75% gone if not already replaced by that mileage. The bias plys didn't last very long . I could get maybe 10,000 miles on the more "modern" polyglas F60's back in the day on my daily driver.    Those were the days.

Not enough miles is more like it!

Since I live near Durham, NC I googled the name and town. There was a person by that name that graduated Duke University in 1969 and is now a practicing doctor in northern Va. Those interested may want to attempt contact to see if he can provide a vin or any history.
