MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL !
& MAY 2026 BE A TRULY
HAPPY NEW YEAR

99% sure  that this is the same guy that bought a G from me when I was still >> John from Utah.
Blue car, silver bottom, 427 was out of the car, but was there and correct.
Was an automatic.
Purchased out of California in the mid 90's
John

talking of details;
The early 1965 set up that a saac member bought, had a light bluish hose, not black.
I noticed again from TA coupe that the one picture clearly shows the whole hose is light colored, I would definitely say light blue like the original I sold >>> for concourse judging guys
John

A gray color is what I have seen on some 67 setups. They show up as light shaded in B+W photos. I wonder if blue grey is what you are seeing.

Bob,
The only reason I brought it up, was that the one early set that was here for 8 years with light blue hose, and referring to TA COUPE pictures again,
Perhaps the one in the picture is grey, looks much brighter though ?
No matter, the set up was 90% complete, down to clamps.
The late 66 early 67 unit had a black hose though.

Is this what you are referring to?

Roy,
Yes, that is what caught my eye,

I wanted to make a correction in my initial post, the original 1966 paxton set up, had late 66-67 date. The SAAC member did buy it for an early Paxton built 1967 GT 350.

J-Speegle, Thanks for the heads up, I appreciate it !
The 5 wheels are sold.

TA coupe,
great material, pictures are always worth a thousand words!

Seeing one of the 2 ways air cleaners were mounted is cool also.
Made me go back in my stash, found a early square air bonnet, pulley & more>>  like the one in
the article you introduced.
Thanks
John

PS, Quick edit>>  I also noticed that there appears to be a brass fitting with a hose connected to it in the bonnet, look closely at the pic with the guy in white shirt and tie.

I did get some pictures of the magnums a few days ago, most importantly, the numbers on the inside rim.
Sent them to a Shelby GERU to be 100% sure they are correct which they are !
If you are still interested send me your email address.
I am terrible at cutting stuff.
John

I sold both of my early paxton set ups to guys on SAAC.
One had correct numbers for a 65 Shelby, the other had numbers for a 66 Shelby.
Both of these went on REAL S/C Shelby's
I discarded the pictures, these were both very complete. Should have kept the pictures.
""" I think both had a brass fitting that bolted through/onto the chamber box, then rubber lines hooked the bowls together inside the box.
Rubber rubbing against the alum bonnet hole is a real bad idea IMO !
Outside had a slide on fitting that hooked onto the brass fitting going inside the chamber.
I think it was rubber from the fuel pump to that fitting on the bonnet.

BGlpverver, >> are the paxton units black or blue case, I have found that later units were white

What state / city ?
Thanks
THEY ARE IN NJ>

Guys,
I am waiting on pictures, KH number, date code verification >> and condition of the wheels.
I know the source and where they came from >> they are real,
Been stored indoors since 1977.
Price wise, is $500. each a stretch to tell him ?
They would have to be picked up, he will not ship
Thanks
John

Guys,
Not dragging my feet, just waiting on the guy to send me pics.
Sorry about the KH error.
Just so used to saying KH with about all ford wheels.
Calling him again today,
John

Was on the phone again with him about 15 minutes ago. 6-27-25
he had to dismount a few of the tires, to get the All so important numbers.
John

working on that as we speak.
