usapony,

There were no "later" 1966 4 speed cars manufactured at SAI. Last number 4 speed is 6S612.

Actually, 4-speed 66 GT350's were produced throughout 66 production, you might be thinking of factory 4-speed Hertz cars...

Valvoline 10W-30 VR1. Change oil & filter once/year and send a sample to Blackstone for analysis.

Most of the ones I've seen on eBay recently have been repos, just something to be aware of...

doubt it was 22      The realy early venice cars didnt have that center rib

My thoughts as well, the owner also told me he thought it was from R Model...

I looked into this hood 2 years ago when it first appeared on the Seattle Craigslist. Seller sent me a bunch of photos but I lost interest as I couldn't be certain it was an original. According to the seller it was from "car #22", I wasn't able to verify if he meant from 5022 or what. Ended up posting the info here back then...

Glad to see it has found a home.

I've used Echlin CS-756 points for many years, they are a direct replacement for Motorcraft DP-6, available at NAPA.

I gap the points at .020 and call it good.

Do you know any information about the white w/blue stripes 1966 GT350 with yellow Oregon plates in one of your earlier pictures?

Thank you, Brian

Brian,

No, I was wondering about the white 66 myself but don't know any more about it. The license plate reads 'AHP 671' and the bottom frame says. 'Get It On'.

Interesting car, not even sure it is a GT350. I don't see a tach in the photo, it doesn't have a hood scoop, and the steering wheel appears to be a black standard Mustang wheel.

Wow!  Those pictures are awesome!  Thank you for sharing.  Do you know the number of the 66?

Minor detail (not really that important), Oregon's first year of the yellow with blue letters license plate was 1975.  74 would have blue with yellow letters.  The green year sticker would have been 1978 or 1982.  With a two year registration that puts the photos in 1976-1978 or 1980-1982.  Not trying to pick, just trying to help.  Awesome pictures!!  Again, thank you!

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the comments, wonder where 5S140 is today?

I thought the Oregon yellow w/ blue letter plates started in 1973? Gary Werner told me he had taken these photos in 1974, this other photo seems to verify that...

Dave

A few more photos of 5S140 I got from previous owner Gary Werner many years ago, I believe these were all taken in 1974. The current registry only has info on this car up to 2001...

Frank,

I have seen a number of J65 dated fans so they are out there, don't recall seeing H or K.

The original fan on 6S1757, late March 66 SJ build, is dated A66. The original block is gone but I believe it would have had a mid-Feb. 66 assembly date from what I have researched.

You can still get the choke kit from Holley....also from the usual suppliers like Jegs, Summit, etc.

Thanks Bob!
