Shelbyman1970---- nice selection of rides ----love all the red.....

just looked at some old paperwork as curious and seems that the repaint to red took place in 1994. 
Late 80's early 90's seem to be all about red. 

Thanks for taking the time to post all these.

Wow cannot believe how much RED i am seeing. 
Somewhere done the line they repainted my GT350 from Wimbledon white to Red with White stripes. 
Must have been a period in time where everyone had the same idea. 

I'll have to go with what Coralsnake has posted. 

well attended the Carrol Shelby event at the Peterson Museum and there was 1 other 68 GT350 there.  So I at least know of 1 other.
Funny that a guy with a 66 GT350 had not even thought of registering his with SAAC until coming out to the event.
Maybe 6 total Shelby cars from 66-69 and a nice selection of 5 Cobra's.  Of course the newer 2007 up models ruled the day with maybe 100+ there

I seem to be addicted to BAT and always notice the 500's or 1966's.
Did notice a few 68 GT350's at Mecum last week.

Thanks for the input.  Curiosity i guess.  I always see the GT500's up for sale and rarely see the GT350's.
Funny I bought the GT350 because of the smaller engine having owned some 428 CJ's previously and what a monster
they were.

I am asking as an owner of one and curious what the survival rate has been.  I would think not even 30% of the 1000 plus might still be around.

I know as a teenager I racked up a few sports cars and figured why would that not be the case with these.  Granted a 350 is not quite the 428 but it is all relative to a 16 yr old. 

Great point made that SAAC probably has a number of registered cars that no longer exist given the time span they cover.

I collect a bunch of different makes and models and just simply one day came across the SAAC organization and registered my car.
I do believe there are quite a few owners who don't even know SAAC exists or wants to keep their ownership private.

My spouse thinks i need to sell my GT350 as I never drive it.  I never drive it as I live in a big city with crazy drivers.  I've managed to hang onto it since 2004 but who knows.   Hoping the best for 2022 and Blessings to all.

Does anyone happen to know how many 1968 GT350's are still on the road.  I read where 1053 were produced (including Hertz cars).
Or even how many registered with SAAC ?

Thanks

There is a car cover that has a sand weighted bottom that forms a seal on the ground.  The website is
getcoverseal.com.  I have used them along with the car bubble and both seem to work.  Nothing in my opinion can beat
the bubble but these car covers weigh about 30 lbs and have done a great job on 4 of my cars.
Hope this is helpful.
