Images for the long term record when the FB page expires.  Looks legit to me.

This is very cool.  I have never seen the invoices for a HERTZ return to Ford for cleaning up and refurb.  6S1213 is on the summary sheet in the middle with the Fuller Ford and Ted's invoice on either side.

Was this the one that the Cobra Experience raffled off?

Yes, raffle images shown in the very end images from the Cobra Experience raffle.

Have you seen the tires size 245-50-R14.  I'm not sure how these are not a problem with clearance.

Hi Coralsnake,  Is this the one?

Cory

Hi Jeff,  Is this also typical of the fiberglass/steel frame hoods?

Thanks

Cory

Hi CRXNUG,

Please let us know where you decide to take you tachometer, how much the wire replacement cost and how happy you were with the results.  This place Mo-Ma looks expensive.

Phil was the best.  I like the one man operation.  You could talk to the guy that was actually making the repairs and restoration.  RIP

Thank you

Cory

No images for the long term record when the website expires?  Just a fake AI image.  Bummer

Thanks for sharing.

Cory

Definitely save.  Can you see the engine assembly date and casting date on the block.  Someone will want.

Best of luck

Cory

For the long term record when the website pages vanish.  The four ten spoke shown are reproductions.

Hi guys,

Thank you for your input.  It seams the only artifacts that have "S&C FORD" are the license plate inserts and frames.  All the documents above, postcard and September 1966 letter and the documents shown on webpage "The Best 1968 Shelby Webpage!!!" all show the "S&C Motors".  There is even one license plate frame shown on the webpage with "S&C Motors".  These documents are very cool and I appreciate them being shared.  I have studied them and find no clues to determine from them when the "S&C FORD" name was adopted.  So the time period mystery continues.

The only clue that I have is the blue insert and frame that is photographed above, came on a 1966 GT350 that was purchased new at S&C Motors and both the insert and frame  have been with the car every time it has traded caretakers.  So the assumption is that they were on the care when new, making them at least 1966.

Thank you

Cory

Hi all,

If you have a Vintage photograph from S&C Motors that has one of these plate inserts on it, please share on this thread. That image might help establish a time period for these inserts.
Thank you

I have heard from Carl's Ford Parts that Blue Thunder is no longer selling to their retailers.  They are now selling direct to the consumer via the Internet and a popular auction site. I believe their user name is "bluethunderproducts".  I also found a username called "Classic Blue Performance". What have others heard?  Am I mistaken?

Have you tried with the seats out?

Hi Coralsnake,

I found your Internet webpage on S&C Motors and the history they had with Shelby American. I was hoping I would see some comments from you on the time period of each of these Licence Plate inserts.  Do you have any ideas on these inserts?

Thanks

Cory
