1967 Shelby GT350/500 / Re: Interesting hood feature

Somehow, in my mind I see that spine extending further into the scoop.

But when I checked just now, it looks pretty much just like the one pictured.  🤔

If I remember correctly......... Carroll Shelby heard that Chevy was going to use it on one of their Cars and he was able to Trade Mark it first.

This is The story I have read over the years

Has there ever been documentation of LeMans stripes on the car before it's initial sale?

Is the copper much heavier? Does it dent as a easily?

Does Kirkham still offer that option? How much extra is it?

If you are going to do an AMC continuation, at least make it an AMX/3

Even if you don't like them, the baremetal Kirkhams really show how damn good they are forming those perfect bodies.

It is the Cobra I would want (painted).

Umm,

Brian and I have OCD.

It is in our nature.

Of course, having all these flaws is assemblyline correct.    ;D

If they did create a new mold, I am surprised they didn't address all the other glaring flaws in the initial mold, top of my list would be the drooping passenger side headlight bucket.

I'm not sure that is glaring, but I'm only saying that since I hadn't noticed it. I'm looking at several straight on front views as I write this and I still don't see what your talking about. What other flaws did you notice?

Shut lines not matching (not even close) the fender shut lines and the leading edges not matching the hood. Those two don't bug me nearly as much as the passenger side lazy eye tho.

Very interesting that it automatically disengages below 40.

How does it determine the speed?

Wow.

I would not argue with any of that. I believe that is exactly what you experienced.

OP mentioned an "ultra" lean condition on #4 & #8, lean enough to burn ceramic coating (even if crappy) off the headers. That sounds pretty lean to me.

I wish I paid attention to my lean #5 & #6 (common on BBF SVO spider manifolds) cylinders, but it was running so good................ ::)
