There is only one, and I mean one Chrysler I would own and it is a '70 'cuda.

This 1966 Shelby Mustang GT350 was sold new from Larsen Ford of White Plains, New York, and resided in New York, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and California before the previous owner purchased it in 2013. A subsequent mechanical and cosmetic refurbishment included a repaint in Ivy Green Metallic with white Le Mans stripes, an interior refresh with black carpets and black vinyl upholstery, and a drivetrain overhaul including a rebuild of the 289ci HiPo V8 and the Borg-Warner T10 four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes an optional fold-down rear seat, an AM radio, racing-style front lap belts, 14″ ten-spoke wheels, front disc brakes, fixed rear quarter windows, hood pins, and rear brake cooling ducts. This GT350 is now offered by the selling dealer in Arizona with refurbishment photos, parts and labor invoices, Shelby American shipping documents, Shelby American invoices, SAAC registry documents, SAAC serial number confirmation letters, and a clean California title.

Shelby GT350 equipment included fixed rear quarter windows, a central hood scoop, hood pins, and fiberglass rear brake cooling ducts on the quarter panels. This example was refinished in Ivy Green Metallic with white Le Mans stripes by Ocean Body Shop of Ventura, California, reportedly in 2013, at which time the seller reports that the underside was also refinished in red oxide primer.

14″ Shelby 10-spoke wheels are wrapped in 215/60 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. Shelby chassis modifications over the stock Mustang included revised front suspension geometry, Kelsey-Hayes front disc brakes, and larger rear brake drums. Refurbishment work in 2013 included a suspension rebuild using Koni shocks.

The refurbished interior features low-back bucket seats upholstered in black vinyl, matching door panels, black carpets, and a black dash pad. This example features a fold-down rear seat, and additional equipment includes racing-style front lap belts, a push-button AM radio, and a wood-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel.

Instrumentation consists of a 140-mph speedometer flanked by gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, alternator charge, and coolant temperature. A Cobra-branded 9k-rpm tachometer is mounted atop the center of the dash pad. The five-digit odometer shows 77k miles, approximately 500 of which were added since the 2013 refurbishment.

The 289ci HiPo V8 features a Holley four-barrel carburetor on a high-rise aluminum intake manifold and was factory rated at 306 horsepower and 329 lb-ft of torque. According to the selling dealer, the engine was removed and rebuilt during the 2013 refurbishment during previous ownership, and the valve guides were replaced in 2020.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Borg-Warner T10 four-speed manual transmission. The selling dealer states that the transmission and rear axle were removed and rebuilt during the 2013 refurbishment.

Documentation includes invoices and shipping receipts from Shelby American, Inc., refurbishment photos, parts and labor invoices, and serial number confirmation letters from the Shelby American Automobile Club from 1987 and 2013. The selling dealer has provided an overview video below.

This 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500 is one of 2,048 fastback examples produced for the model year and was built on May 19, 1967 before being sold new by McFaydens Co. in Omaha, Nebraska. The car was traded in six months later and purchased in February 1968 by its second owner, with whom it spent 51 years and 118k miles in California and Colorado until 2019. Power is from a 428ci Police Interceptor V8 that was rebuilt in 1974 at 68k miles and is paired with a numbers-matching four-speed manual transmission and a 3.25:1 rear end. The car retains its original color combination of Lime Gold over a Deluxe interior with black vinyl upholstery. Additional factory equipment includes power-assisted steering and front disc brakes, the Extra Cooling Package, a fold-down rear seat, and an AM radio. This GT500 was acquired by the selling dealer from its third owner in 2020 and is offered in Kansas with service records from throughout the car's life dating back to 1972, manuals, a window sticker, a reproduction Special Vehicle Order, Marti and SAAC Registry reports, and a clean Colorado title.

The 428ci Police Interceptor V8 featured hydraulic lifters and twin four-barrel Holley carburetors for factory-rated output of 355 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. The engine was rebuilt in 1974 at 68k miles, and an invoice for the work lists a cylinder head overhaul in addition to replacement of internal components. A new rear main seal was fitted and repairs to the exhaust system carried out in December 2020.

Anybody use this? Just wondering what the results are like. Only thinking of small parts etc.

My first Exposure to a '67 was in the mid 70's.  I can't honestly remember now if it had LeMans stripes or not. I was about 11 years old at the time.

For the guys who have been at this since the early days, do you recall when the owner applied over the top LeMans stripes started to be the thing to do? Was it from the late 60's? Or did it really get started in the 70's or 80's?

I do remember the first time I heard the phrase "Dealer Installed 427" was around 1981 or 1982.

This Shelby Cobra is one of just 14 CSX1000 continuation models produced by Shelby American and AC Cars during the early-to-mid 2000s. The car, chassis CSX1006, was ordered new by the current owner in December 2004 through Gateway Performance of Chesterfield, Missouri. Delivered in February 2006, it features a hand-formed aluminum body finished in Le Mans Blue with Wimbledon White stripes. Power comes from a "Carroll Shelby Signature Series" V8 engine, which displaces 468 cubic inches and features an aluminum FE block, aluminum cylinder heads, forged connecting rods, forged pistons, roller rockers, and a hydraulic lifter camshaft. The car is also equipped with a five-speed manual gearbox, Salisbury differential, rack-and-pinion steering, four-wheel disc brakes, knock-off wheels, side pipes, black leather upholstery, Shelby-branded instrumentation, and a driver's roll hoop. This CSX1000 Cobra now shows 1,700 miles and is offered on behalf of the original owner with a copy of its build sheet and a clean Kansas title that describes the car as a 2006 model year.

Aluminum bodywork was hand formed by AC Cars of the UK and is finished in Le Mans Blue with Wimbledon White racing stripes. Features include side pipes with Cobra-branded heat shields, plexiglass wind wings, a single roll hoop, a Raydot-style aluminum side mirror, and Shelby badging. The finish and trim are shown up close in the gallery below.

Halibrand-style 15″ knock-off wheels feature painted centers and are mounted with Goodyear Eagle GT II tires sized 235/60 up front and 295/50 out back. Disc brakes are fitted at all four corners and utilize Shelby-branded calipers over cross-drilled and slotted rotors.

The cockpit is upholstered in black leather and features matching-color carpets. Equipment includes a wood-rimmed steering wheel, Simpson safety harnesses, plexiglass sun visors, and Cobra-branded floor mats. The dashboard was signed by Carroll Shelby and is fitted with a plaque identifying the car as CSX1006. A fire extinguisher is located on the center tunnel, between the seats.

Shelby-branded instrumentation from AutoMeter includes a 180-mph, reverse-sweep speedometer along with an 8k-rpm tachometer and gauges for oil temperature, coolant temperature, voltage, oil pressure, and fuel level. Approximately 1,700 miles are shown on the five-digit odometer.

The all-aluminum Shelby 427 FE V8 displaces 468ci thanks to a SCAT stroker crankshaft, SCAT forged H-beam connecting rods, and Arias forged pistons. Induction is via a Holly four-barrel carburetor mounted on a dual-plane intake manifold, and cooling is managed by an aluminum radiator and front-mount oil cooler. Additional features include a Crower hydraulic lifter camshaft, MSD 6AL ignition system, McLeod 12″ clutch, Hays steel flywheel, and finned Shelby valve covers.

I hadn't been paying close attention, but when visiting another forum member, he pointed out that the support strut on the driver's side thermactor tube assembly was removed on GT500s.

Just wondering if anyone knows why this was done and has anyone observed their strut being present originally?
