SAAC Forum

For years I have been searching for a Mach I with the factory optional L-88 hood, but am not sure if the glove box signature is real or not.   

Opinions?

This 1965 Shelby GT350 was reportedly sold new at Archway Motors in Baltimore, Maryland and was converted into an SCCA B Production vintage race car in the 1980s by the late Walt Hane. It wears serial #SFM5S471 and is registered with the Shelby American Automobile Club. The seller has owned the car since 2003 and campaigned it between 2004 and 2013, averaging three events per year. Finished in Sapphire Blue with white stripes, the car is equipped with an R-model type front apron and Torq Thrust wheels. Power is provided by a freshly-rebuilt 293ci SBF V8 paired with a 4-speed Jerico transmission and 4.11 Detroit Locker rear axle. Competition equipment includes a full roll cage, triple-disc clutch, upgraded suspension, Fuel Safe fuel cell, Halon fire-suppression system, and more as outlined in the listing below. The seller retired from racing a few years ago, and this GT350 is now offered on a bill of sale in Virginia with a VRG logbook, spec sheets, receipts from recent service, and a spares package

In the discussion of Z stamped VINs, the subject of grabbing parts off of certain cars (unfinished?) to complete other cars was mentioned.

Is this a practice that is known to have taken place?

If so, What parts would be examples of the kind they would take off one car to complete another? Fiberglass? Engine components?

Did they cast 428 blocks on Saturday or Sunday?

Or was it a Monday through Friday kind of thing?

interesting

Are body panel date stamping codes like parts?

For example, would they be stamped 6 M 20 for a panel stamped on December 20, 1966?

I expect a lot of fireworks on this one;

I know there was discussion in the MCACN thread, but for reference, a separate thread would be helpful. Here is a start with a Hemmings article just posted;

They have a video as well

Tony is a former owner of my Nightmist Blue '67 GT500 having owned it in the 80's and possibly longer, maybe in the 70's as well.

I was hoping to reach out to him to see if he might have any other history on the car.

These chassis instruction books are for a Shelby 427 Cobra and an AC 289 Cobra. Small block Cobras beginning with chassis #2000 were first equipped with a 260ci and then a 289ci Ford V8. A larger side-oiler Ford 427ci FE V8 was made available for the Mark III Cobra, which also featured a redesigned tube chassis with a coil spring suspension. They are now being sold at no reserve by a dealer out of San Carlos, California.

Looking for OEM Shelby headlight trim rings.

LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1967 Shelby GT500

  As the muscle era was heating up Chevrolet released the all new Camaro, which called for an upgrade to the Mustang to compete. As with before, Carroll Shelby was called upon to ready to boost Mustangs performance reputation. For 1967 Shelby GT500 was the first time a 428 engine would be available in a Mustang, which gac. This beautiful 1967 Shelby GT500 is a terrific example of the model. To some it's the ultimate muscle car/grand tourer, others love it for being the first Mustang to be powered by the 428. While many others just love it for the beautiful, powerful styling and Legendary name associated with it. Whether you're a collector or enthusiast, and whatever your reasoning, there is no denying that they are one of the most iconic muscle cars of all time.

  This GT-500 completed the assembly process 01/13/1967 and was sent to Sanders Motor Company in Raleigh, North Carolina. It arrived at the dealer appearing as many believe a Shelby should have, factory Dark 'Nightmist Blue" Metallic with ultra rare factory Parchment deluxe interior, the same livery the car features today. Powered by the 428 cubic inch Police Interceptor motor with twin 4bbl carburetors and a factory ordered 4-speed Top Loader transmission. Making this car even more special are the other options such as the famous and very collectible "Inboard" headlights, Magstar wheels with Speedway bias ply tires, fold down rear seat, power steering, power front disc brakes, factory roll bar with shoulder harnesses, under dash gauges, 140 mile speedo and 8,000 rpm tach and interior décor group. This car has been the recipient of a no expense spared rotisserie restoration to a show quality condition. The undercarriage has been detailed with factory style red oxide primer, overspray and paint daubs. 

  This Shelby GT-500 it is of course listed in the Shelby Registry and comes with complete bulletproof documentation from Marti Auto Works. The body and paint showing spectacularly well, ready to be shown or enjoyed as part of a collection. Beautiful, detailed restoration, fully documented and well equipped are all the elements making this an extremely desirable collector car, add to this the history of being an original Shelby GT-500 and you have one of the most desirable and sought-after muscle cars of all time. Only 29 factory Nightmist Blue with parchment interior cars were ever built, this is certainly a unique opportunity as how many can be left today?

Though I am not even sure '67 GT350's were ever equipped with Thermactor systems, I came across a listing that shows the canister directly connected to the smog pump.

Did small and big block cars share the same pumps and canisters? I was under the impression that canisters were attached to the shock tower.
