Possible Shelby parts available
From VMF newbie today...just thought I'd share...you can go there if interested in contacting him
65 Shelby stuff... what to do...
Hey all, new to the forum. I'll post an intro also but I've had a few vintage Mustangs over the years. My latest acquisition leaves me in a bit of a quandary and I'm looking for some good feedback. So, trying to make a short story out of this, I just got a 65 A code 4 spd car that was originally turquoise.. Now, this is all 100% legit: It was converted to a GT350 in 1968. Maybe one of the first "clones" lol. It was copied off a specific GT350 for the purpose of road racing (I know which one). The original owner had this car, two GT 350's and was also an employee of Ford. He ordered all original parts for the car and did one heck of job duplicating the original. I have photos of the car back in the day and it went into storage sometime around 1974-75. It sat there till the mid 80's when the owner decided to make it a regular road car. Unfortunately whatever engine and trans was in it was swapped for a 5.0 and AOD but it was never finished. Fast forward to today and I have the car now.

It's got a bunch or original Shelby stuff on it including the hood, gauge pod, date coded gauges (although it's a 66 tach), grill support and aluminum grill trim filler piece, override traction bars (through the floor). It has Koni's on it but I haven't been able to date code them yet. It has a weird pair of koni's laying in the trunk that have (very old) 65 Shelby written on them but date codes are off and they have the round fitting on both the top and the bottom. Maybe some sort of quad shock set up? No clue on that one...

So here in is the quandary... Do I run it with the original parts on there or find someone that needs this stuff for an actual GT 350 restoration?? I have zero idea of what the stuff is actually worth and I am not looking at this from a financial perspective. I'm looking at this from a "should they go to a real GT 350" perspective...

No mater what the car is cool and, besides faded paint from 1968, it's freakin mint. Interior is immaculate...

What's the consensus on it? Run it or talk with a Shelby restorer?

Very sincerely, thanks for any advice...

Brandon

The man I hired to head up the restoration of my CJ cars(and a challenger) Told me Friday he had something for me...usually that is not a positive news item...However when he got to work today he calls me to come back to the Resto shop hands me this...he says " it's been kicking around my house for about 40 years and I figure if I was gonna assemble it that thing would have been done by now..."
Since you've got one I thought you might like to have it....SWEET!
