Hello Rich,
I don't have details, but I believe the following magazines also have '67 Shelby articles:
December 1966 "Autocar"
January 1967 "Autotopics"
February 1967 "Cars"
August 1967 "Speed and Supercar"
August 1967 "Drag Strip"
April 15, 1967 "Competition Press and Autoweek" (Super Snake Tire Test)
February 1968 "Cars" (Super Tuning Shelby's Stallion)
Just for your info, 0100 is described and one photo of its interior appears in the April 1967 issue of Motor Trend. It was loaned to them for the Corvette comparison article. The magazine wanted a 4-speed car for the comparison, so 0100 was not used.
Thanks,
Eric
Excellent list of additions Eric!
I completely overlooked the two Super Snake articles. I'll add those to my first post with the car number info.
Those others may prove more elusive to find out which cars (models) are in them.
THANK YOU!
Hi 67 fans!!
Just wanted to also mention the May issue of Ford Times has several pics and even a Swedish magazine did an article with several pictures of S.A.I. Imperial highway location.
Regards R.R.

Thanks RR.
We have the May "Ford Times" issues covered, but not the Swedish magazine.
Would you happen to know the name and the date?
here are a couple covers of some of those...
Thanks JD..I meant to post some cover, but got side tracked.
What issue is the CARS Hi-Performance cover?
Here's some more
A few others
Hi Rich & all 67 folks,
The Swedish article was courtesy of Texas Swede and he was trying to source it--maybe he can help out once again...it was great to see a completely different set of pics,not to mention the
Swedish writing.I am slowly finding Track and Traffic and the Jan 67 cover shot is awesome....just need to get a copy.

Wait, new/old pictures from LAX...Would love to see those pages, even if it's just a jpeg photo or scan.
That "Speed and Supercar" August '67 issue is another one I'd like to see the article / pictures for.

Track & Traffic January 1967

the two article pages and a close-up of the one image...
I believe this cover and article was posted by Kieth "SFM66H" and maybe Mike "Honker" found the issue for him ??
The early white USL car with MI plates has both the misplaced fender emblem and the "GT" gas cap. The hubcaps are another oddity in that no hubcap cars were available early on, only Magstar rims.

JD, that seems to be too early for a Shelby article...maybe just a Mustang test drive?

My notes have this white GT350 as possibly #0025.
That could be wrong, but the registry states there was a note on the receipt "Loan to Vendor for Fitting Purposes".
What vendor? AO Smith in MI? For the creation/ fitment of the temporary 2-pc nose? Questions we will likely never find answers too.
Yep, it was Honker Mike who was responsible for sharing that jaw-dropping "Track & Traffic" cover shot with me and the Shelby World. I call it "my $200.00+ magazine" because I was so excited to learn about that never-before-seen (to me) LAX image, that I did with Mike the same thing I did with George Watters. I contacted him personally to see if he would consider sending the issue to me so I could scan it, post it on the Forum and then return it to him. He did better than that, it turned out that he actually had an extra issue that he would sell to me! I jumped at the opportunity, and he was such a nice, very friendly guy that we talked for a quite a long time. Only after I hung up did something occur to me. I asked the wife, "Is our calling plan International?" She asked why. I told her I just spoke with a guy in Canada for a couple hours (est.) and I was just wondering. We both shrugged our shoulders because we figured we did.
And then the bill came. We did NOT have international calling! Thus, the $200 phone call, and why I call that magazine that.
But it was a thrill to be able to acquire that issue, and I will Thank Mike here again!!

Great story Kieth!
