I really don't think that being the last 66 produced means it is any more valuable or has any more water cooler talk value than any production 66.

Very possibly.

What day is the event at the Simeone?

I love the look of the air cleaner and snorkel.

In memory of a friend that could push all boundaries, and then would back them up. Bittersweet to write this..... Miss you and all the banter we had!

You got that right!

RIP Kiwi

Most of the wrecks are due to the production Good Year tires.

No this type accident is 100% caused by low talent and a switch on the traction control. The ONLY way 90-95% of the population can drive a 500+ hp performance car is that the computer makes up for their lack of skills. Yes hard old tires aren't as grippy but the decent driver will adapt to the tire and not expect road race slick performance out of street tires.

Actually, tires are a major factor, and this happened to many cars that were not even two years old on the original sketchy Goodyears, which are plenty wide.
Not old tires

Correct

I'm with Tim on this one. There is no reason you can't drive an immaculate and perfect car. When we did the first NE. regional SAAC convention in Hershey Pennsylvania, we had a nearly 100 mile rally and there were several concourse cars participating including a 65-350 that had taken either silver or gold at SAAC 33.

And Tim would be a good guy to restore your car if you ever went that route.

Cool photo...hanging it out.   

Funny how that low angle makes the car look kind of like a UFO.  Or, like the suspension is jacked up to Baja 500 level.

Indeed!

Good looking rig

To continue on the theme presented here by many,  particularly what Tim is saying above on page 3 here, and what I read on page 1 about Daniel Boone's axe.
As an example, for any vintage car, if all that was left was the front clip, or if all that was left was the rear clip, and then a car was built from that, would that really be the car??
Some vintage cars, like Mopars, have a derivative of the vin  in the rear, by the way.

Maybe more relevant here, if a car is constructed from very very little original metal without anything definitive to tie it to any, any particular vehicle, then how could it possibly be any particular vehicle with a period born-with vehicle identification number going forward?
