Title: white GT350 with huge flares
Post by: vtgt500 on October 24, 2018, 04:54:06 PM
Curious, buddy of mine had a white, '67 350 with oversize, Bondo filled flares to shroud 12" wide Goodyear race tires on slotted mags.  At one time had a cage and was reported to have competed at Limerock.  Sat in a NH garage for many years.  Believe it was sold in the late '80s thru a broker in the DC area, or maybe Keene, NH.  May have included Webber carbs.  Always wondered what happened to it.

When I bought 6S843 it had 200 pounds of bondo flares and spoilers over 14x10 wheels on each corner. I put on Maier flares for awhile.

Wasn't there also a 65 that huge flares. I thought maybe Stouffer had it for sale at one point. I thought, it's been awhile so I could be real wrong, that at one point it was green and the license plate said "NUKE GM". I think I have some pictures of it from the 80's-

I remember this car. It was at Mid America in 1989. About 4 or 5 Mustangs and Shelbys were racing down Hwy 412 to Hallett. I remember us passing it. It was on an open trailer. I should have pictures of it somewhere. I do not remember if it was green or white at that time, but a few years earlier I do remember a green one at Hallett with huge flares.

Here is a pic of my '67 #00503, with huge steel flares very similar to the ones pictured above!

These were steel flares with a fair amount of bondo added.  This car was from the LA area and supposedly modified in the late 60's or early 70's with these flares.  As much as I thought it was a cool tribute to the '70's I had to remove them!  The quarters were otherwise perfect.

^^^ Looks like it could be the same car as the one pictured in post #2.
