Let us know if you can actually buy something from him. I never had any luck and I'm surprised he's still around if he actually is.

6S001 Had a Blue Vinyl Top when new....

The only 1965 or 1966 Shelby with one....

I guess this photo could have been taken before ACME installed the Vinyl Top

I owned it several years ago 

Curious as to when you owned it as Jack Schroll the owner of Mostly Mustangs owned it for a long time before it went to auction years ago. I remember the first time I saw it. It was laying on its side in Jack's garage. It had been recently painted by Richard Rodeck.

Remastered for clarity.

Brett, were you working for a magazine at the time and if so did you write an article?

Until you give us more information, I would say, at least look into Avon Tires.

Minilites were lighter than Daisy's and I believe even cheaper which is hard to believe. Here's some pictures of the TA 70 wheel, my all time favorite. I used to own 2 sets and had them widened to 9's and 10's.

And don't forget the Glass museum in Corning!! It's about 20mi away. I worked for Owens Illinois in Oakland California and was able get in free with a few friends and the place was amazing. Went around 2005 or so when I went back for the first Vintage Trans Am races there and Lime Rock.

Any info on how they built the 440in motor back then?

Hi to all detail interested people.
To answer your question about the washer reinforcement that is welded to the top 65/66 are round and  the 67-up type are known as a "clipped" type. The metal will eventually fatigue and split if a stiff shock is used without a spacer. Whenever you remove a bracket they should be inspected for distortion and damaged threads....this applies to cars with high mileage especially.
To show what Ford learned about this look at how a 60/70 BOSS 302 racecar is set up.
Hope you found the correct parts for your carryover!

Is the spacer you are talking about the one I have under my upper shock mount? You have to zoom in to see it. It's the same as the ones used on TA Mustangs.

I think probably in the $15-20k range. High or low Mr B ??

First of all I don't think he discloses the tread depth? If 10/32+ probably 3-3500 each. Second not many 350/500 owners doing Div 1 cars anymore (just you Don)

Looks like 9/32 to me. Picture from the ad.

Looks like 721

Here's the bracket that Rich Rodeck made for me. After I had problems with the drop bracket, pulling the bolts right through the frame. Completely solved the problem of the bracket moving around.
