Hanging on to it. 2013 with unconventional day 2 red stripes. Originally should have had silver. But it is an original numbered LS.

👍

Up For Auction / Re: 1966 GT350 Steel Hood auction
« on: June 04, 2021, 03:32:06 PM »


This hood is constructed of steel and was removed from the seller’s 1966 Shelby GT350 over 20 years ago. The piece is finished in Sapphire Blue with white stripes and features an integrated hood scoop as well as provisions for retaining pins. This steel GT350 hood is offered at no reserve in Naples, Florida.

The hood features all-steel construction rather than a fiberglass panel over a steel substructure, and features an intake scoop as well as two hood-pin receivers. Additional photos of the metallic paintwork can be viewed in the gallery below.

The inner structure is also made of steel, and retains a front latching hoop and locating pin. The hood is designed to be bolted to two hinges via four captive nuts.

A six-digit stamping is located near the trailing edge on the underside. The hood was previously installed on Shelby GT350 chassis number 6S2166 according to the seller.

The problem I have is I can never find anything about about dealer cars or auction cars as any details that might be helpful are lost in the many paragraphs of the history of the marque and such  ::) ::).

Because there are a lot of causal buyers out there looking to drop 6 figures on some kind of cool vintage muscle car and they have never heard one iota about Shelby and the cars from the 60's.

After reading thru all that history, they will know this is the car for them.

I'm thinking about buying a pair of these hinges that relieve the tension from the hood, but provide a spring effect to hold the hood up.  My car is just a driver.  I'm getting tired of fiddling with the chains.  The springs warp my hood also.

other than being polished (chromed), that is really cool.

Thank goodness we have been warned that it can cause reproductive harm if you live in the state of California.

I could live with a prop rod if it allowed me the fit Gary's hood has.

This 1969 Shelby Mustang GT350 convertible was first sold by Larson Ford in White Plains, New York, and it was reportedly acquired by the current owner in 2014. The car has been refinished in its factory Black Jade over white vinyl, and power is provided by a 351ci Windsor V8 paired with an FMX automatic transmission and a conventional rear end equipped with 3.00:1 gearing. Factory features include a roll bar, a white convertible top, woodgrain trim, an AM/FM radio, air conditioning, Lucas fog lights with lens covers, power steering, and power-assisted front disc brakes. This GT350 is now offered on dealer consignment with a build sheet, a Deluxe Marti Report, SAAC paperwork including and SAAC registry certificate, manuals, service records, spare parts, and a clean Washington title.

The Deluxe Marti report denotes that this is one of just 47 Shelby convertibles produced for the model year in Black Jade (65), and one of just 29 produced with this exterior and interior color combination. The selling dealer states that the exterior was refinished in the 1980s, and equipment includes white side stripes and a white convertible top, along with NACA-style hood inlets, Lucas fog lights with lens covers, color-matched mirror caps, sequential tail lights, a padded roll bar, and front and rear spoilers.

Shelby 15″ wheels wear Cobra-logo center caps and 215/70 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. A spare set of period Firestone Blue Oval tires are included in the sale and shown in the gallery below. Power-assisted steering and front disc brakes were optioned from the factory.

The interior features high-back front seats with white knit vinyl upholstery (FWA) as well as matching treatments for the rear bench and door panels. A factory AM/FM stereo is retained in the center stack, and the car is equipped with SelectAire air conditioning that has been converted to R134a.

Instrumentation includes a 140-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and amperage. The five-digit odometer shows just over 72k miles, though actual mileage is unknown.

The 351ci Windsor V8 is topped with a stock aluminum intake single Holley four barrel carburetor, and is equipped with a ram-air intake assembly and Cobra-branded finned aluminum valve covers. Power is sent to the rear wheels through an FMX automatic transmission and a conventional rear end equipped with 3.00:1 gearing.

Amazing same home town as Bill, He purchased the car in the spring of 1967 through Cady & Pier dealership in Sandpoint, Idaho.  He drove on street 67 raced the 428 in 68 then, yes He put a 427 in car and drag raced it and ran pretty well. Do you know Bill now?

No, I am from Spokane, where McCollum Ford, the authorized dealer that sent #344 to Cady & Pier. I now live on the other side of the state.

But I was just in Sandpoint last weekend as I am looking to relocate to the area. Is Bill still around?

Hi 2112 sorry for delay yes Bill is still around  now we met many years ago and he got to drive his car again after over 30 years
