Dan,

Great post! Interesting image 9th row down on the right of the 65 GT350 steering wheel, but what caught my eye was the placement of the toggle horn switch. Not the norm for the majority of 65 350's.

Cheers,
~Earl J

Lots of great photos on the Petersen site - thanks for the link.

If you search Dan Gurney you'll see they erroneously have some photos of Jerry Titus working on his Trans-Am Firebird.

And - if you search NASCAR Grand Touring you'll find some great photos of the Bud Moore Cougars  8)

Any idea how to get access to the full resolution images?

Thanks for posting Dan.

You are welcome. I hunt Cobra stuff frequently. There are thousands of Shelby related pictures scattered around several sites. There are a few people with hundreds more off line. Hunting pictures showing a particular detail can take very tiring days at a time.

I was looking for apparent black marks mentioned on distributor housings. Day one GT350 pictures was a good place to start.

I believe you have to buy prints. There are a few sites with historic photos. I bought some prints of Cobras from one of them.

If you click on the individual pictures it brings up a menu of options regarding the picture selected.

Right, and if you look at the image pages, the low and hi-red images are marked as 'restricted'.

Thanks for notifying us. Looks like the Mustang fastback in the road test pictures is likely the fastback that was repainted red (was white) and made the rounds. Was at SA for a while. Though these pictures appear to have been taken after that visit. Possibly a preproduction pilot plant built car.

Bunch of details in the pictures match other photo sessions/times

Some of the pictures were posted a few years back on another site

These pictures are rich in detail, thank you for posting.

Obviously an early Venice car(s).
At first blush, some of the differences from cars such as mine (mid LAX car):
-shock/shock tower bolts;
-oil press idiot light w metallic vice fabric oil press line;
-mis-matched LeMans bar hardware;
-both painted and unpainted hose clamps;
-tailpipe hanger;
It is also refreshing to see the alternator properly clocked, a common 'restoration' error.
Looks like the side exhaust were painted black.
Covina never looked better, so dead now.

I bet there are scores more....

Some of the pictures are stored under more than one archive site and some are similar ones from same sessions are held in private hands. Some are the same as used in new car articles.

Great compilation of pictures. Many of them I have seen before, such as the GT350 somewhat airborne and nose down on a dirt road. I believe there was even a thread about this picture on Forum V1.0. I had not seen the other pictures of that same car, presumably taken at the same time. It seems like someone took the car for a test drive, to see how it would handle a dirt trail?

Thanks for posting the link, great images !

Question, on the second page, row 5, and row 10, the photo shows a headlight cover being experimented with, is this something

that was going to be tried, looks like an R-model they are working on ? there is another image further along that shows this cover

roughed in with clay.

Is that Pete Brock on the left ?

Mike

ps: i'll include the one image, if this is something that infringes copyright, I'll remove it ?

Yes, definitely Peter Brock on the left.  Didn't see that one, very cool.

Found a group of published and unpublished pictures of 6S392 (white supercharged magazine car) within the archive and a couple of pictures from a road test of a dark colored 66 also.

I created an account and selected an image. It asked what the final use would be, I said "Posting to the SAAC Forum". I expect it will be similar to the image library at Ford in that they will have a set cost per image depending on use. When I buy images from Ford it costs $35 per image for them to grant use such as this. We will see! Might be next week before they reply.
