Not sure what happened to the pix in my original post, but here are a couple DaveR took for me with his whiz bang camera. FWIW, I met an old...
Fantastic info, DonH. Welcome to the Shelby Forum!
I'll go with the flow on this, Roy. It didn't seem to fit in the anomaly list but for lack of a better place, I wanted to at least capture it in...
For completeness, I wanted to add the sidewall GT ghost I've seen now on two early date code small letter Speedway tires. Here's the link to the...
From TLEA's post on the SAAC forum, I don't think the 97 has anything to do with date of manufacture. OM is the plant code, but I don't know how...
Thanks, our messages crossed and I found your post on the SAAC forum with a Google search!
There is a current thread on date codes at:...
I found the old Goodyear date code system on the SAAC forum at: http://saacforum.com/index.php?topic=1939.0 First digit 66=M/Z 67=K/Y...
I never knew that, Jim. The tire has the identical ghost on both sidewalls. I'm thinking there wouldn't be much sense in adding the letters to the...
Yes, Jeff, this is a small-letter Speedway (see first post). There was no sign of the ghost on any of the other six small letter Speedways I have....
Kind of what I was thinking, Bob. I'd bet this is an early date code tire. I'm guessing they scrubbed the "GT" from the mold for the lower white...
I was organizing the attic the other day and noticed something on the sidewall of one of my small letter Speedway tires. Just ahead of the "350,"...
Roddster, Are you talking about the one started by Roy at:...
It would be great if we can wrap our hands around date and unit numbers! Good points on the shipping tie-down brackets and press-mold taillight...
Thanks fot the data point on your handle, snakeoilbrian. There's one on ebay right now that's supposed to be for a Magstar that doesn't appear to...
OK, we’re back from Carlisle and I had a chance to do a little research on the Corvette jack handles that are so similar to the ones used in the...
At Bob Gaines' suggestion, I have started this thread to collect anomalies in production of the 1967 Shelby. Please bear with me. I seem to have a...
Good post, Bob. I would also like to point out that although some car manufacturers were installing battery felt washers by 1967 (ie Chevrolet),...
There's a complete set of large letter Speedways on ebay now, advertised as originals: Not a bad price even if they turn out to be repros....
You are correct, Bob. As I mentioned in my post above, the Corvette lug wrench had several variations through the 60's. Since Shelby obviously...
The jack is the standard Mustang jack, so the Magstar cars got an extra wrench. IIRC, the jack uses the standard Ford 13/16" wrench and Shelby...
Here is a picture of the bracket in my car (#1547, SAAC survivor) so you can see where the hole goes. [IMG]
Thanks, Patty. Owners of unrestored cars have a tremendous obligation to the hobby. I have done my best to preserve the originality of #1547 as I...
OK, I took a look at #1547 this afternoon so I could complete the items I didn't know off the top of my head on the form. Where the heck is the...
Alot of water went over the damn til 1975, Bob, and the early history of #1547 is a mystery. Unlike aftermarket or repo parts, the inconsistencies...
