Hello!
I realize I should probably just PM Richstang, as I'm sure he has these ;), but just in case...does anyone have under the hood pictures of a 1967 Shelby GT350 (#2545) that they can share / send me? The car is Dark Moss Green.
There was one posted (I believe by JD), and I'd like to gather more, if possible.
Thanks! :D
I am the former owner of #2545.
The owner at the time of her restoration by Jeff James and the team at Tri-City Mustang (and Shelby) Restorations and SAAC 36.
Here are a couple photographs of the engine compartment.

A couple more, may be what I posted before - not sure.
(I remember the car at VIR nicely done.)
Barrett Jackson, Scottsdale 2012.
Wow. What a car!
Thanks to all, especially the prior owner. I imagine you miss her dearly.
Just in case someone wants to copy some details the Air Cars both BB +SB regular production Shelby's had York compressors they were typically painted silver but some were bare aluminum. They did not use the cast iron Tecumseh compressor (slightly different shape and painted black).
How often were Thermactor filter canisters bracketed to the shock tower?
I have a bracket, but it seems all the pictures show them being suspended in air by the hoses they are connected to.

ON BB the bracket was on the shock tower the majority of the time. Also I have seen the filters suspended yet the bracket or holes for the bracket on the shock tower.

I didn't have any photos of the engine from SAAC 36, just some exterior shots.
The Barrett-Jackson auction photos (engine already posted above) is what I have in my file.
...very sharp looking car!

As Bob G wrote the shock tower bracket was a running change for big block applications. Small block used a different bracket to attach them to the thermactor pump instead. Same bracket as used on Mustangs, Cougars ...... 289's
Another thing learned or at least communicated since is the finish of the air filter wing nut was semi-gloss black like the rest of the assembly/unit
Lid style on the filter also varied due to supply and in turn when the engine was built - not the car.
