They look like factory Mopar rims from probably late 60's or early 70's.  Not 100% sure.

Mopar rims have 10 slots, so I'm thinking AMC.

JL Motor Trend '92 SAAC Mustang.

I have a friend who also has about 7 Shelbys, all of which are not in the registries. He does not care to report them, they are all legit and have proper numbers. He enjoys the privacy. He knows what they are and anyone seeing them would know also. He will not allow any "number collectors" or any of that.

I don't get it.  My '68 GT500 hasn't been registered is at least 20 years,  In pristine condition, sits covered in the man cave along with some other interesting cars.  I have no intent to drive it anytime soon, busy with more fun projects.  The car is not in any registry with very few people knowing it exists.  I've keep it out of sight for 45 years.  If I drop dead today, certain there would be exclamations of "BARN FIND!" by some bottom-feeding twit.  You missed the bus when these were piss cheap in the '70s.  The car is not lost, and its future is well accounted for.

+1 on both!!

PN is C7AZ-8952-A, the housing is correct in showing the engineering number of 8594-A.

Correct  BG?

Also for 427 Fairlane as well.

I don't know about other manufacturer's but at most, a 22' is the oddball size. They either sell the 20' or go to the 24'. at least that's what my trailer sales where I bought mine was.  I could easily buy a 20' or go to the 24' and buy right there on the lot.  But, if I wanted the 22' trailer, they had to have it made.

Don't get me wrong, the 22'er was a choice but it was going to cost me more than the 24' that was right there on the lot. All they had to do was install the D-rings where I wanted them.

My trailer is the 24' Freedom V-nose. Pulls like a dream at 80mph with my F250 7.3L from Reese hitch.

This is the type of car that sells for BIG money and a lot of people with limited budgets see one at 1/2 price so they jump on it. They work on it as their budget allows and it never seems to get finished.

A friend of mine is in love with Swift airplanes. They have a good following but are generally owned by people with a shoestring budget for flying. He's had several in his shop for extended periods just waiting for the owners to provide the next influx of cash to move their project along. I see this B9 in the same light.

Remind me not to fly the friendly skies with them

My 69 Super Stock CJ had the same modifications. I believe it was to save weight and provide an attachment point for a driveshaft safety loop that would be close to the transmission yoke universal joint. I think NHRA rules required the safety loop a specified distance from the yoke universal? My car was also "swiss cheese" drilled anywhere possible to allow weight to be added in a more advantages locations. My seat risers were drilled and cut as well as under dash brackets and doors.

Agreed
I raced circle track for several years and our cars could be 52-48% L to R weight distribution. And one of the first places we would add weight to get the 52% is under the driver's seat.

Well, the VIN is 9F02Z198719. In plain site on the Marti

Chris is a KR owner so i guess that's why he posted here ! i heard is not going to other forum  like 65 GT 350 'cause "no chance" for newbie  there    
just kidding ....

Yep !  You seen what happened to 6S1523, in the "1966" section.
They all but tore him a new a__hole. And most on here wonder why this forum is going to hell??
For God's sake it's an open forum let people do, say, work and play on their Automobiles the way they want to!!!  Geez!!

Some on here are very knowledgeable about first Gen Shelby, I'll admit that. But who's to say or tell ANYONE what to do (or don't do) with THEIR car. The knowledgeable will come back and say, " Well, when they(in Barney Fife voice), go to sell their 65-70 Shelby, everyone involved with the sale needs to know the changes", and I completely agree, but who the Hell has the right to tell ANYONE what they can do to there car??? That's what this is about. And if they don't follow the diehard Shelby group, that group blast them, and keep rolling with the negative comments.

The supposed buyer, if/when the seller of a Shelby decides to sell, the BUYER should've already done his homework, have a knowledgeable Shelby enthusiast in place to look at the car. If I were to go spend a stupid amount of money on a first Gen Shelby,  I'd be foolish not to have someone in place to go over it and see about changes (permanent and/or temporary), before ANYTHING is signed and money moved.

So, to you knowledgeable, if someone goes and buys a Shelby without doing their homework, so be it. And if/when it's ever passed on again, the buyer should do the same thing. 

Yes, I'm sure a Shelby can be and will be passed on to another buyer with troubles lurking about the Shelby. But, this all goes back to Inspection, knowledge, going over the car with a fine tooth comb.

But, there's nothing in the World anybody can do about it when it is done. But, the people on this forum know better and in most cases will make sure nothing like this happens in this community. That's all we can do.

Just My Opinion, and yes we all are free to give "Opinions".

Perhaps you did not realize how many "additional" (IE: duplicate) threads had been started on the exact same subject and merged or removed from the forum before you attempted to chastise me for advising the OP of the active thread on the subject in which he stumbled across on the web. There is more that goes on behind the scenes here than what you see. But yes, you decided to make your feelings known to all who will read this thread by personally attacking my personal opinion originally posted. Thus negating my right to an opinion for your own. Bravo my friend, bravo.

Yep, Opinions. Please don't start pouting though

Oh, and I'm not your Friend.

So What?

CSX3141 My ultimate auto then, and now!  I was 19 years old and found ad in Comp Press, and purchased the car with my father's help from Bob Guest Sport's Car Center.  A high school friend and I drove the car from TX to IL.  The car has been on and off the road since.  MG

At 19 yrs old, what year was this?

Supposedly the team hunted down and cherry picked the best "discontinued" Ford K code bodies they could find. Yep setting right next to where the 50 Cobra frames were setting. Hard to believe they were overlooked when the frames were "rescued" but instead they were left outside to weather like the old frames did. Just a darn shame and who would have "thunk" it. Yep, the team discontinued (terminated) the original Ford K code bodies they are using to do their continuation R models. Rumor is next they are working on a continuation of the 5R002 FLY by.

Please explain what you mean by Discontinued. Doesn't really make sense how you used it in the sentence. The defintion of Discontinue is "to abandon or terminate, to cease operation". So please clarify.

'65-'66 Shelby 350 and '641/2-'65 Mustang abrupt bend 4-speed shifter handle and 4-speed shifter mechanism. New shifter handle kit installed.

From my observations, these "abrupt" bend shifter handles were installed in the early 65 Shelbys for sure, but no known cutoff for the carry-overs into the '66 model year.
I'm sure this shifter can be used in any of the '65-'66 Shelbys/Mustangs.

Hard-to-find shifter handle with the abrupt bend over the more "curved bend". 

Complete shifter and handle.
$275 OBO.
