Post by: 557 on February 04, 2019, 02:42:39 PM
Just found a copy of this in a thrift shop..Had a copy back in the day that seemed identical..Was this only printed once? Only date I can find is a 1981 copywriter.Is that when these were printed?

I recall hearing at least two printings were done.

I have a First Edition I bought NEW.  It  has a list of Shelby Parts used for each Model Year and, if I am not mistaken, it shows all GT 350 model Years using the Aluminum "T" Oil Pan.

That is Howard in one of his Coast Guard Band costumes. The '65 is his. The two '66s are Kopec's and Inglese's. The '67 is Dave Mathews. The house is Inglese's. The neighbors must have loved him. Leaving must have been like a Leman's start?

My original is signed by both. Rick used that pic during a slideshow at one of the NE Regions Xmas party.

"White shoes." Cragars with the chrome rings painted white, and the inset area on the spokes painted black. I still have the poster.

Kopec's role model was Billy "White Shoes" Johnson. I didn't realize Howard's too? Who knew? :o

I remember watching Billy "White Shoes" Johnson play for the Houston Oilers. Wide receiver and kickoff returner. Certainly fun to watch.
