1966 Shelby GT350/GT350H / How many are left?
« on: August 21, 2018, 09:03:11 PM »
A question I get asked a lot of times at a show or Cruise in is “How many were built”? Followed by by “well how many are left”?
So I throw the question to the experts, how many of the Hertz cars are still out there and how many of the different color combinations, Black/gold, Red/gold, Blue/gold, White/gold, and my personal favorite Green/gold
I could take the registry and count them one by one but that would take a long time, so anyone have a number?

I remember a little rain, didn’t seem to hurt my car
I remember each time they opened the door, it was like a monsoon
Well worth the effort to showcase the cars

the concourse cars in the ballroom was a nice touch, I apologize for the drool marks I left on the floor. The cars were all beautiful

To say Woodward is big is an understatement, trying to find anything is tough because of the shear size and logistical nightmare of getting from point A to point B
Ford had displays up and down Woodward, in side streets, in parking lots, and this doesn’t begin to cover all the private parking and displays.
Everyone should go at least once

".......no matter what Zray says, points are problematic, especially with the poor quality Chinese made products. They just don't hold up......" 

what zray says (but no matter):

the echlin brand that NAPA sells has a very good quality of points. Am getting 20,000+ miles per set from them, with no burning, and little wear and Ohm meter showing zero resistance. I wonder how long it takes the average Shelby owmer to put 20,000 miles on their car ?

[/color]takes me about 2 years at the present rate of driving [/color

Went to Dream Cruise Friday evening and most of all day Saturday. Drove the whole route twice and bailed out on the 3rd run when the car began to get a "little warm" in the bumper to bumper Dream Crawl. Didn't go into the "Mustang Alley" but drove past it, mustangs are far as the eye could see, what I didn't see were a lot of Shelby's, at least early Model Shelby's, I saw several replicas or clones, but only 3 what appeared to be original early cars, a possible blue 1968 GT350 convertible, a 1969 GT 500 Red, and a black/gold 66 Hertz car. I didn't get a chance to see any of the cars up close, but the there of them looked "real". I saw lots of the later model cars, they just look evil and sound even better, it is amazing what 50+ years of technology can bring to the table.
The place is an automotive overload, cars are parked everywhere, every shape and size and color imaginable and even some unimaginable.
The weather Friday was a little "damp" at times and of course when I drove back to the hotel I got caught in the rain.
A fun time and I'm hoping to go back next year

There appeared to be a burnout contest in the hotel parking lot last night

Steve,

Get us some espionage photos of what’s under the car cover on stage.  National Inquirer will pay you big $$$.

Rumor says it’s supposed to be a “new”Cobra Jet. Will find out tomorrow

On Sept 23rd the NRA has a great car show, the guy running it loves Ford’s, especially Shelby’s
The pole are great, the museum is awesome and it’s a great time
Heck, I don’t even like guns, but I love going to this show and seeing the cars and the museum
Space is limited and they try and get a crosssection of vehicles, so sign up and bring your Shelby or just come and see the show

We are locked and loaded heading for Detroit at 4:00am. It’s my birthday weekend, so we always try and do something memorable, last year it was go to South Carolinia for the eclipse, then 2 days later in Lancaster Pa. for a ride in a Ford Tri-Motor, the year before it was drive to the Simone Museum and get up close and personal with the original Daytona Coupe, even got to park right next to it and see it drive. This year it’s the Woodward Dream Cruise, I hear we might run into some rain on the way out, but that helps keep the dust down
Hope to see a lot of the Shelby products cruising around
This is what life should be about, driving around and doing things that are memorable

Norwalk is an awesome track, be sure to get the "pound of Ice Cream" for a $1, thats right its a pound of Ice Cream for only $1
Seats are great, track is beautiful, the bathrooms are so clean you would eat the Chili Burrito Hot Pepper and Cheese breakfast and not have to worry.
