Adriano,

You certainly have nothing to apologize for.  'Air cars' is a term used in this hobby to describe a vehicle thats history is doubtful.  More specifically, when an entire car is assembled from one piece of an original Shelby.  Like finding a Shelby Vin Plate and building an entire Shelby from it.  Conversely, sometimes an original car could have sustained damaged, like an original Cobra being raced and having a significant amount of its body work replaced due to an accident.  Years later, someone 'finds' the discarded parts and decides to build a Cobra out of them.  Now you have an 'air car'.  This phenomenon isn't limited to Shelbys.  Ferraris and Jaguars suffer with the same affliction, as I'm sure many other Marques do.

Hello Everyone,

Here is part of an out-take photo taken by Motor Trend on 12/12/66 that shows the '66 style door sill emblem on 0100.

Thanks,
Eric

Great picture Eric.

This is a request for info from any early '67 owners.  I'm trying to understand engine casting dates relative to head casting dates on early 1967 GT350's.  I've spoken with a few owners so far and found some interesting results.  You can contact me privately, you don't need to post any dates on here if you don't wish to.

Thanks in advance.

Where do I send my $100?

Just beautiful Randy!

That looks pretty interesting. Brian if that was something you are definitely interested in I would be willing to check it out for you. I certainly know nothing about Mexican Shelbys or even about that year of Mustang but I can check out overall condition and drivability. Let me know.

Thanks Corey, but I just put it up for the folks on here.  I have enough projects since buying the Yugo prototype from the 1977 NY Auto Show.  I'll bet you didn't know Chuck Cantwell was asked to road test that baby!  A full 11 horsepower!

I was dying to share this on the last Forum, but the 'Dark Days' were upon us.  Now it's just been relisted, pretty cool.  Anyone in the Maryland area care to check it out and report?  Steve, Corey?

Like the new name "BiGLOVER", 👍

Steve that's BGlover, though many women have thought to call me that.

Wow JD sold #26!!! My question is what did he replace her with?

The question isn't what did he replace her with but rather who...

More again as EASY to post pictures now!  I think in this picture too much goop was used!

Steve

Ok, in my defense, that was my first attempt.     It is the right stuff to use, and I did redo it to be more correct.

I think I've got it covered.  Thanks for all the responses everyone.

If there is anyone near the Detroit area who can checkout a Shelby for me?  It's a pretty unique situation I guarantee you will find very interesting.  I don't need a full pre purchase inspection, just someone to take some pictures for the love of Shelby's.

Thanks,

Brian
