For the uniformed, do all 1966s look like they have a big gap under the grill?

He looks 😢

The issue with consignment is most of the dealers are worried about the profit (not all) and have plausible deniability.

If you look down the side of the car in general in the headline picture and really focus on details.... you will see some pretty wild stuff going on. 

Ole girl has seen a lot in her life.

Tag might be fake but at least it has the hyper-rare oversized rivets on it specific only to white/gold hertz cars between serials 1210 to 1214 built in early March of 66.

Pretty special stuff 

That looks like a good car to have won and not bought. 

Guy who won the car was floating around to all the usual suspects immediately after getting the car.

Love the color combo...

The walk-around video in the auction is gold. "Everything about this is special". Yep, no doubtttttttt

Dave's passing has been a tough reality to come to terms with in the last 24 hours.

It is hard to put into words the positive influence that Dave had during my formative years in this hobby and business,... which carried through to the last time we spoke just a week ago. He was telling me about how he was in the middle of repainting his Nightmist 350 and how he was excited to make it perfect.

I cant believe he is gone.

Dave was so encouraging to me when I first got into the hobby, long before it became the way I make a living. Dave's enthusiasm for involving all of us in this hobby really stands out as I think back on my memories of Dave. Always positive, giving of an immense amount of his time to help us all, friendly, and willing to say the truth when it needed to be said.... he saved me from stepping in a hot steaming pile of sh#t more times than I care to admit. He went WAY out of his way on multiple occasions to have my back when there was potential trouble on the horizon.

I feel very grateful to have counted him as a great friend for so many years. My life has been significantly enriched by having a friendship with Dave.

Rest in peace Dave... we'll keep these ole cars going from here.

More Pics

These are fully restored, brand new webbing and correctly sized leather pads!

All original hardware, ready to be used in any concours car!

Correct for nearly any 65 or 66 GT350... there is a lot of conjecture out there about what style of belts is correct for cars in certain serial ranges. These belts were assembled originally out of surplus aviation hardware, they hardly ever matched side to side from the factory and there is a lot of confusion and inaccurate information posted claiming unequivocally that certain styles were for certain serial ranges. These "long hook" style belts are seen from early 65 into late 66 while I've seen shorthooks in plenty of 66s. Point being, this particular version of RBs is what I regard as the most widely used version of the belts. A safe bet for nearly any car that needs an original set.

These original Ray brown are getting tough to find!

Price: $3500

I'm saying I got all of these documents from Steve Foristall in Texas who was a major expert on GT 350s. I bought number 48 from him years ago and these documents came with it. When I sold it, I didn't even realize I still had them. All of these documents are originals and not copies. I checked at Mecum auctions and the Blue owners manual can be worth anywhere from $3500-$4500. As far as the multicolored registered owners manual, one of them has a place for the new owner to fill out the information on the inside of the Cover and the other one says "keep the owner card in this packet" so it must've had an owner card on it one time. I don't know the difference between the one with the place to fill out your name and the one that used to have the owner's card. Any information would be helpful

Does the front and back cover "found out" like a magazine center fold or not? The answer to that question dictates wither you have a real manual or a reproduction.

Kind regards,
Vern

Could the original poster put up a picture of the front and back covers open on the GT350 manual? That will determine authenticity.

Kind regareds,
Vern

PS- if its real its worth significantly more than 1200

Sold

I have a 501 dated carb if you'd like it. That is first week of October 1965 and, in my humble opinion, is about as perfect a date for your application as possible.

Kind regards,
Vern

Does anyone know if it has the orig motor and vin# on the aprons ?     thanks matt 978-375-0014

Definitely seems wicked strange particularly in the current environment and the past 20 years for that not to be mentioned in the description of something like "this" for sale, especially as things have doubled and tripled or more.

Thats how BaT is. The platform shys away from engine VINs these days especially.

Vern

I would be interested to see an original tag on a T10 from any '66 GT350.

I've never seen one with a tag...early or late.
