Hello,

I believe there were 47 candy apple red GT500's with automatic transmissions and 49 candy apple red GT500's with manual transmissions.

S7MS-13A537 is left (driver) and S7MS-13A538 is right side.


Bob,

So, the cast in shelf/lip goes on the bottom, correct?

Thanks,
Eric

Quote from: Bob Gaines on May 11, 2023, 03:24:05 PMInteresting to note is that the tenspoke wheels Shelby had made up for the Beverly hills continuation 66 GT350 convertibles had the blackout on those wheels . Apparently that was the go to look .

CS gave me a set of those (seconds - the back side didn't clean up completely in the machining process) for 843. They were painted (powder coated?) and then finish machined leaving the raised aluminum spokes bare. Richard probably still has them and can maybe dig them out for a photo???

I believe the gentleman in the photos with the '67s is production manager, Jim Benavedes.  I hope I have his last name spelled correctly.

Is this who Ford sent to try and get the production line running better?


Hello,

I do not know anything about Jim Benavedes background.  You do not see his name mentioned very often when reading about SAI.  Fred Goodell was sent out to SAI by Ford to try and get the production line running better.

Hello JD,

The total number of cars in your post add up to 3,226.  I believe you have an extra car in there somewhere.

Thanks,

Hello,

The two high angle engine bay photos were taken by Bob D'Olivo for Sports Car Graphic on 12/13/66 for their March '67 issue.  So, the car was a month and four days old at the time.  Before Sports Car Graphic had the car, it had been road tested by Popular Hot Rodding and the article and photo with the air cleaner removed appears in their February '67 issue.

Jim is a great guy.  I have been meeting him at Barrett for years.  I was with him when he bought 195.  I can help you get in touch with him if you need to.

Hello,

Had a nice conversation with him yesterday.  Nothing pressing right now; I will probably run into him again at the museum sometime soon.

Thanks,
Eric

Hello,

I met the owner of 5S195 yesterday at the Shelby American Collection.  His first name was Jim, but I did not get his last name.  Can one of you please take a look at your registry for me and let me know his last name?

Thanks,
Eric
Most recently purchased by Jim Cummins of Longmont CO.

Hello Bob,

Thanks for that information.

Hello Everyone,

Still no reply back from Tom McIntyre.  Do any of you based in California have any direct contact with him and could possibly ask him a couple of questions for me?  Please let me know.

Thanks,

Hello,

Do any of you know who was the original supplier of the foil emblem inserts for the '67 Shelbys?  It is my understanding that ACSCO only supplied the plastic emblem "frames".  Please let me know.

Thanks,
Eric
