Quote from: Coralsnake on March 12, 2026, 01:19:02 PMI would like to get all the people who said "drive it like it is" together.

Let them sit in that car for about an hour and see if they change their minds
I just could not drive that car with that rusty dash staring at me.  The outside rust I can live with but I need some comfort & enjoyment while driving.

There's a few interesting tidbits in this video but it's pretty redundant.  AI strikes again!

Another factory application was the late 60's Mercury Marauder but I believe those wheels were not chromed.  They used a chrome trim ring and may have been 6" wide versus the Shelby's 7" width.

Sorry for the side trip... this should now be visible to all visitors.
Thanks, my friend!  Kudos to you!

Quote from: gt350shelb on February 15, 2026, 08:10:21 PMwe had a tech section in  forum 1.0      it could be  behind  the members only  side of the forum ......  but  every time it was brought up  i was told we dont need that .
The "Vintage Shelby Related Literature and Collectibles" section was supposed to resurface and be readily available again but that hasn't happened as of yet.  Too bad.

Thanks for spending the time to share your story.  That was one of my better reads in quite a while!  You still remembered quite a bit and I have a feeling that you'll be adding to this as more memories pop into your mind.  I have a similar story regarding a '67 GT500 that I purchased back in the late 70's.

You might also consider using distilled white vinegar for rust removal.  Various concentrations are used depending on rust severity.  Lots of videos available on the web.  I use it with great success on car radio casings.

Feel free, Pete, to put out feelers for any info you may be looking for.  Some of us might be able to contribute.

Is any progress being made on this?  Thanks very much!

I tried logging out and logging in again which did nothing.  Here's a screen shot of what I see when when I go to "Home".  There's only 2 categories under HISTORY.  The only way I can get to the literature and memorabilia section to to use the link provided by Computerworks.  It's possible that others are having the same issue as the last post in that category was mine back in early May.  I'm mystified to say the least.

Looks as if most if not all of the attached images found in the various threads are gone.  I get message "404 file not found" when clicking on image links.
