JD, thank you for respectfully correcting my incorrect correction. I stand corrected!!!  😂
#32
Very minor correction, but #0083 actually had a completion date of 10/22/66. Thanks!
#33
No big surprise, but I can confirm #0083 is a 6A car. DSO: 842505; DSO Item #: 0497. Thanks!

Dang! Howard got back to me and the last info update was from 1988: John Velting of Michigan. An Internet search revealed a J. Velting Sr. Who died in 1996 and a Jr. who died in 2008. I have a buddy who's a PI.... wish me luck! I might have to start a "Go Fund Me" page. 😂

Hahahaha!!!! Brian, I knew it would come to this. I've decided to paint the whole damn car. '67 #83 deserves it.

Hahaha- it could be EPIC! I haven't heard back from Mr. Pardee yet... hoping I can get in touch with the owner. Probably a long shot but it's worth it.

Absolutely! But, I actually have no desire to build a new car from the tag. It would just be neat to frame it with a picture of the car before it was destroyed, or something along those lines.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / Red Light in Scoop Removal

I am painting an early "red light" car. The lenses in the scoops haven't been removed in decades. It looks like they should come off with a counter-clockwise turn, but I don't want to break them trying something incorrect. Please advise! Thanks

I've had her 25 years next month! Still one of my favorite cars!

Hello, I have 1967 #0083 and my father owns 1968 #0083. Just for fun, I'm trying to track down more information on what happened to 1966 #0083. The Registry just states that the car was destroyed and the owner has the tag. Any thought/ideas? Thank you! -Ryan

Bob, thanks for clarifying on the engine photo and I certainly have no reason to doubt that the picture itself is that of a 1966 setup. In fact, it makes total sense to me that they would have simply reused an existing photo since the changes were so minor for '67. However, even though it isn't a full article, the advertisement's print specifically reads, "An original equipment option on the fabulous new 1967 GT 350," and I believe that's what Fastback66 was searching for.
