open track question,   Ill be running a 2022 gt500.  on the tech form it says Headlights taped and a place to check mark.  we don't tape plastic headlights like on my car right? just the glass ones on the vintage rides right?

Yup he is a cool dude I got into contact with him, wish I could of bought it direct.

oh and yeah barn find may be a bit embellished but how many have you seen hanging in the rafters? 

nope thread is still there, just has nothing to do with a video.  I am the sucker in the vid that bought the car

I appreciate any advice or help with it lol. I am still looking for some og lower side scoops, (not nos ones that are different from og)  Its not numbers matching so I planning on keeping it as close to stock as reasonably possible/affordable.  Ill throw in a limited slip, keep the 3.89s, slip in a 5 speed, and probably add AC. Oh and the restorer said he didn't like stripes, that they were to boy racer, so that sold me on the stripes:)

I love mine and it gets a lot of positive comments on the color.

boy the liberals are all up in arms hating on a good looking woman that has blue eyes and blond hair.. but american eagle stock is up 10% or something...   I just dig the shelby....really..

Sydneys personal cars include a 65 mustang and a 69 bronco so you can bet that played into the perfect car choice

deadnutson has some good stuff

Thanks Scott!

I am Just down to lower side scoops if anyone has a pair or even one  I have one original but it will need some work.  I do not want NOS ones just looking for originals at this point.

Dang a month after I start looking they are growing on trees lol   Martyjac on the forum did hook me up with one its at the restorers right now.  its a 4th week nov 66 date code should be pretty close.  I better call the carb restorer and be a squeaky wheel...

Unfortunately my engine is not matching so I can't go off that it is a 65 k code motor though.

I am still looking for functional lower side scoops if any of you have those, I don't want NOS, they are not the same. 

I bought it from a well known broker and had it shipped straight to the shop as its a bigger project than I can do right now.  I can do everything including metal work and don't mind a reasonable project but this would take me years and then ADD would set in.

video just posted live on youtube of me seeing what I am getting myself into...

Thank you Gentlemen! Ill install a radio in.  as cool as a radio delete sounds I think it doesn't match with the Shelby ethos at this point being highly optioned deluxe interior cars

I am basically conceding to put one in but in Rich's pic above with 14 cars I see 2 with antennas (both have window sticker removed so maybe dealer prepped) and the rest have no antenna and I do not see any front fender block off plates.

so my car does not have a radio on the Marti or SA invoice and is listed on the tech report as no radio. (Brian confirmed)

but a couple people above, Bob Gaines and JD, say all 67s had a radio.   

what should I be putting in my car?

and if no radio, that means no antenna hole anywhere right?

Martyjac  hooked me up with a nice November 66 date 3259 for my 3-9-67 build car and the helper of the guy at custom rebuild carbureators is asking for pics of the correct ink stamps.  Anyone have any good pics?

Scott I will take the first one on the left

yes I need lower brake scoop passenger side

I am working on a 3-9-67 build gt350, inboards, flat tail panel, functional brake vents. K code engine is not numbers matching but if I can find some correct coded parts why not?  but what date codes ranges would be correct for distributor and Carb?  I could also use a OG side scoop one is missing, and a ps cooler.  Lots is missing but thats my main shelby specific stuff.
