Looked this one over today... the block is stamped with the car's serial number....

... it's Shelby serial number 

Knowing that, you can use your imagination on the rest of it... you won't be far off.

Reserve not met

Pretty strong money considering the mileage IMO

it is getting close already to what a project missing a VIN is worth full boat retail 

Pm-d you about C3 temp sender

Hi All,  Thanks for you input.  Does anyone have a few photo's of the early hub?  Not on a car, but lose?

Thanks

Cory

my bad, brain of a squirrel... if someone doesnt beat me to it, ill try to rememebr next time im at the building

In my opinion, if you couldn't talk about the man while he was alive, You shouldn't be beating him down Now that he is dead and unable to say anything. As the british say, that's just bad form.
It's just like the people that are now trying to besmirche The memory of Caesar Chavez, 33 years after he died. Not saying he was guilty or not guilty. But why not say something a long time ago?

On the one hand, I agree in principle with what you are saying Roy.

On the other hand, I don't think holding someone to account for their actions is "beating them down". It is what it is. Dead or alive, Dave was a flawed human being just like all of us are. Frankly, I have always admired how charitable the person who bought his negatives has been over the years to have never publicly held Dave to account for it all.

Balls and strikes... nothing personal.

Kind regards,

Looks like an exceptionally honest/nice car.

Kind regards,

This has been one of those things kept on the "down low" over the years. Now that he has passed, the truth can more freely come out.

Pete Brock and Steele Therkleson took quite a few photographs during their daily activities... somehow the credit for those shots got attributed to Dave 

Kind regards,
Vern

Vern, it was one of your old posts that I used for reference of the inside printing. I was hoping to get a reply from you; you are the man! Thank you so much for your reply, I highly value your expert opinion.

Best,
Steve

Appreciate the kind words and always happy to help!

Kind regards,
Vern

interestingly, i have seen factory dyno sheets for the 325 engine and the particular engine that the sheet recorded made just over 360hp and 360tq. In comparison, a full race, weber'd Cobra engine made 388hp but only 320tq

That is for sure an original first printing. Pretty sure the current owner of it would have gotten it from me.

Kind regards,
Vern

Ya know, now that you mention it,...

I'll get a better pic of the hub on the Group 2 when im at the building (most likely tomorrow)

Here you are! Not the greatest angle but this is the shorter, solid aluminum hub used with the 16 inch wheel. This is 5R002 testing at riverside. I was trying to find a picture of 002 at Green Valley later... I assume that the hub was changed prior to the race since the car was restored to "as race" on that day specifically.

Excellent, thank you JD!
