Parts For Sale / 10 X 2 1/2” FoMoCo brake drums
February 09, 2025, 02:08:39 PM
For Sale: a pair of 10 X 2 1/2" brake drums. I took these drums to two shops that turn brake drums and both verified they are "in spec" and usable. The dates on the drums are G127 and G117 which translate to July 11 and July 12, 1967. The drums have FoMoCo cast in the rim and are manufactured by Kelsey Hayes. Asking $900 for the pair plus shipping but open offers.
Thanks for your interest.
Calls or texts until 11:00 pm Eastern are fine.  (720). 260-0258.

Kelsey Hayes brake calipers came installed on the REAR axle of our '66 and it's time for new brake pads. I've searched but come up empty, can someone tell me the year and model of Ford these came from? The part # cast into the caliper is KH 107786 with Ford in an oval. On the other end of the caliper is what looks like a date code (?) of 6115 and below that D2.

Admittedly, this story is not about a Shelby, but it does involve a '69 Mustang convertible equipped with a 428CJ and the effort to hunt down this car and reunite with it's original owner.

Parts For Sale / G-2 W-MO Radiator - Early date 7-64
November 29, 2024, 11:10:29 AM
 I found this radiator on Craigslist and had it gone through by a local radiator guru (they are getting hard to find, both the radiator and the guru). There is a 6 month warranty from 11/15/24. I believe another similiar radiator is advertised for $5,000. I am asking $3,600 plus shipping but will listen to offers. Please text or call (720) 260-0258 from 8:00 am to 9:30 pm Mountain time. Thanks for your interest.

Cars For Sale / 1966 Carryover #074
November 16, 2024, 08:59:51 AM
Hello, with retirement on the horizon in the next few years, after much soul searching I have decided to offer our 1966 GT350 Carryover #074 for sale. Asking Price: $219,000 but open to offers

***Interested buyers must read the history of this car in the Registry. If you do not have a Registry, contact me and I will send to you.***

#074 was one of the first cars brokered by Peter Klutt who owns Legendary Motors in Canada

It was also owned by Bill & Jean Whitley. Bill was the SAAC rep in the NY area and while he was driving a Cobra, wife Jean became well known in the area driving #074. Their story can be found in the Fall 2010 SAAC Annual magazine.

Another owner of note was Paul Fix, a well known fixture in the Shelby scene.

I purchased the car from Canada just north of Bellingham, WA during Covid. The story of buying the car across the border during Covid and getting it home appears in the Winter 2022 SAAC Annual magazine.

I drive this car at least twice a week weather permitting and everything works as it should and it runs really well. I was able to purchase a Holley carb dated 1st week of July 1965 off the SAAC website and had Drew Pojedinec rebuild and restore. The engine starts with the bump of the key.

From all accounts, the engine is the original engine and is stamped with the corresponding Ford VIN verified by Howard Pardee. The transmission has an aluminum case dated 12/65 and a cast iron tail shaft, so may have possibly come from a later '66 Shelby? The rear end and housing are most likely original parts. The 3.89 tag remains on the rear end which shows the Carryover-only part number of C5ZX-B.

The main variations from the original configuration are a pan hard bar and side exiting exhaust.
     
Correct drum brake backing plates stamped with FoMoCo and KH 70390 and KH70391 and new 10 X 2 1/2" brake pads, drums and hardware have just  been installed along with functioning parking brake.

The odometer shows 54,xxx and talking with past owners that may be accurate but I have no way of verifying.

Again, please read the Registry on this car and contact me directly for more history or questions about the car itself. I am located in a suburb of Denver and have a clean Colorado title.
(720) 260-0258 between 8:00 am and 9:00 pm Mountain time
Calls are preferred but text is fine also. Thanks for your interest.

This issue has a story focusing on a 1967 Shelby GT500 and a Lamborghini Muira.

Also, a feature on the history of horsepower with nods to the 289 and 427 Cobras and the 2006 Shelby GT500 cracking the 500 hp boundary.

And last, page 124 features photos of the Daytona Coupe wood buck or splines as the article calls them, used to form the body panels.

Hello fellow forum readers,
    For sale are 5 wheels, four wheel covers and 19 lug nuts that I believe were originally installed on our 1968 GT350 convertible. I bought this car in 1988 and soon after, removed the wheels and hub caps for 10 spokes and stored everything away in boxes in the crawl space of our basement. This car was purchased new in Dallas and then went to Midland, TX and Waco, TX before I bought it so the wheels are from a very dry climate. Not counting a flipper, I was the fourth owner. I also have 19 lug nuts that I kept when removing the wheels. What happened to the 20th lug nut I don't know. My opinion is the wheel covers are nice with no curb rash. Four of the wheels have a date of 12 - 67 stamped between the lug holes and also stamped into the rim center. The spare is stamped 7 - 67 between the lug holes and 8 - 67 on the rim center. All five are stamped KELSEY CANADA and 15 X 6 in the rim center.
I am asking $7,500 plus shipping for the five wheels, four wheel covers and lug nuts but open to offers. I will gladly send additional pictures of the wheels and/or wheel covers at your request. I am located in Denver if you are able to pick up in person.
Thanks for your interest.

Our daughter-in-law works for the group that has the listing on the track and let me know that it is formally for sale.

https://willowsprings.teamscarborough.com

There are a ton of stories and history involving Shelby's cars racing at Willow Springs. So much so that the first picture you see when you click on the link is of a '66 GT350 running on the track.

Up For Auction / Holley Carb on CL C8OF-9510-AB dated 861
December 10, 2023, 10:42:53 PM
This Holley carb is not mine but I came across it on the local Craigslist. The seller appears to knowledgable as he recommends Drew P for the rebuild. And scores bonus points for listing the numbers on the metering blocks so the buyer is informed.

Up For Auction / 32 Gallon Fuel Tank on CL
November 13, 2023, 11:42:24 PM
Not mine but thought I would post for comment and on the very, very long shot this may be a unicorn part that came out of an R Model or belongs in an R Model or Trans Am coupe. The baffles inside the tank are very intriguing.

Up For Auction / Shelby GT350 sign on Craigslist
August 15, 2022, 11:03:26 PM
https://milwaukee.craigslist.org/pts/d/richfield-mustang-and-newer-shelbys/7517463731.html

Hello, I am posting this for comment from the forum. Any background on this? Is it 1960's vintage? Any cool history behind it? Or is it just a tin sign someone made up to sell at a Barret-Jackson booth?  Here is the description:


I have a nice two sided porcelain sign shelby GT-350, I do not know much about it, bought it with a bunch of other Mustang Nos stuff. It is used got scratched and dings in it but the edge has nicks in from being rolled or dropped. A really neat piece of history. This is a heavy metal sign weighs almost 15 pounds. It is not painted and it is 30 inches round. Taking bids on it

Comments are welcome on these rims being original and for a Shelby or not. These are not mine.   Asking price is $3,000.
#18
On 1968 models- would you point out the differences in the convertible top boot that came with the Shelby and those that came with the standard Mustang? The goal of this question is to find out if one can be used as a template to make a boot for the other.
Thanks

Advertised as a set of tie-down brackets for cars built at the San Jose plant with dual exhaust. Comments welcome.

Up For Auction / CSX-3063 on PCAR Market Auction Site
February 02, 2022, 06:23:39 PM
https://www.pcarmarket.com/auction/1965-shelby-cobra/


Shelby Cobra For Sale
1957 Shelby 427 Competition Cobra CSX3063 for sale by dealer, now on PCARMARKET. Chassis #3063 was fitted with custom coachwork by Ghia before being debuted at the Turin Auto Salon and featured in Style Auto #9. The Ghia Cobra was eventually returned to AC Cars for disposal, but was instead built out as a 427 Cobra Roadster and used a demonstration vehicle before it was damaged and tucked back away in AC's workshops. It wasn't until the late 1970s a Mr. Mike McClusky purchased the remains of the Ghia Cobra from AC Cars and shipped them back to his shop in Torrance, California, where its parts were cataloged and stored. The car's frame and parts were eventually sold to Scott Grissom, son of famed astronaut Gus Grissom, in the mid-1980s before being acquired by Steve Foristall of Foristall's GT cars and later purchased by Ted Thomas of Birmingham, Alabama in the late 1980s. Mr. Thomas repaired the chassis on his own frame table and had the car restored before it was shown at the 20th SAAC Convention in bare aluminum, with the notation "Last Comp Chassis" on its nose panel. Finally, in June of 2011, Cobra Restorers Ltd. was commissioned to complete the restoration of #3063 including fresh Viking Blue paint, a newly built 427 engine, and Toploader transmission. Boasting impressive provenance and a beautiful restoration by marque experts, this Shelby 427 Competition Cobra is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Texas.
