I sit by the mailbox each day waiting for it
Nothing yet 😪

I spoke to him about it, might make it. Also had a guy approach me about the Cobble Beach Concurs in Canada and of course since Jim Wicks came to MCACN I now have to go to Mid America
The M1 Concourse seems really like a neat one to go to and it’s a whole closer than the other two. Only 600 miles to Detroit 🤓

You know I’d always thought that a/c was standard on all 66’s. It was air conditioned by heat through the right and left vents, plus the power of opening vent windows. Sure it wasn’t cooled air but it was conditioned by the smell of a 289  HiPo with the additional of musical notes of solid lifters
Beside that I never saw an actual  Shelby with “factory A/C”. Hang on units yes, most were Sears or some other aftermarket units
Would love to see photos of any Ford units on a 66 Shelby including the bottom pulley and belt routing with idlers and adjustment pulley

Yes, a very nice display. Thanks for putting it on. Gary

Thanks for the pics
We also had a display case of Hertz Memorabilia and display of the MICO master cylinder and the speedometer locks
Tried to get one of each 66 color and one of each year 68-70 plus Hertz Cougars 68-70, just couldn’t get it done but thanks to all who did bring their cars

How's it going at the event?

Steve were you able to have all the '66 GT350 "colors" make it?

Wasn’t able get all the cars I wanted but what we gave seems to be very well received
Seeing the different cars we have on display has been eye opening many who there were all black and gold and all Shelby
The Red 1968 XR7G Cougar, the Calypso Coral 1969, the white and Gold that does have the top stripes and the Red and Gold car have all drawn a crowd the display of the MICO master cylinder, and the speedometer locks have drawn a lot of attention plus the display of the scale models and Shelby Memorabilia 

Already been in touch, they say “no”

Might ask Kopec if we can “reissue” them. Office Depot  does awesome work 🤣

Randy,

All the carryovers I’m aware of have the 65 style axle housing.

Here’s what I have in my notes about the later cars. I’ve added *** by the 65’s to make them easier to spot.

As always, this data may have errors. I did not keep track of the source on most of these. And even if I had, some people simply report incorrect info for a variety of reasons. So take all the above with a grain of salt.
