My 67 gt500 has been prepped to bolt since Tues.night.....

Always good to have a plan to get out of Dodge.  I hope you stay safe.  The footage is alarming.  I have never seen anything like it in modern times.

Looks well bought to me.  Enjoy the car while here.  No one ever sees a U Haul following a hearse.

Some of the missing pages. First missing page 73 and going forward. Last page is 99. Looks like all ads.

Mine arrived a few days before Christmas. The missing pages look like ads when I cross reference the Spring edition in print versus what is on the PDF.

That is one impressive piece of equipment.  Unfortunately, the machines have arrived but visionaries have disappeared.  They are scarce in the current generation of youth.

That is a well written and thoughtful article.  Thank you for posting it.

Hi Ken,

When you come up with a tray, I have the two supports for the the trap door latch and mid support.  The fiberglass version may not need, but the mid support makes it even stronger.  My supports are true to the original in their material and construction.

Take care

Cory

P.S. Your messages are full.

The fiberglass panel needs no reinforcements. The wood slats are for the plastic one.

Wondering what sort of modification is needed if I go with a 65 tray as it pertains to the trap door.  Maybe a 66 tray might be the better way to go?

Nice car

No, actually it is not a Nice car.

"Nice is the second-largest French city on the Mediterranean coast and second-largest city in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region after Marseille."

I think the car has always been US based.

Thanks for posting the video Silverton.  Some of the video looks to be at Road America.  It has that vibe although it could also be Lime Rock Park...

[why CS called them "sport cars".]

Came across this AC Ace in a 1954 Brock Yates book on sports cars.
It was snapped at the Santa Ana drag strip which was started in 1950 on the Orange County airport. It was the first US dragstrip and closed in 1959.
The book may also hold a clue as to why CS called them "sport cars".

Maybe that was the vernacular in that timeframe and went on to evolve into adding an "s" to Sport.  And by the 60s Shelby became more entrenched and ingrained in his ways due to age and rejected the then style of calling them "Sports Cars" instead of the way it was back in the 50s.  Just a theory.  I would need to hunt down voluminous footage of racer interviews to find out what they called them back in the 50s.

Large rocks!

This^^^^
And it's legal.

Too bad you didn't have land mines 20 feet out around the perimeter with the adequate warnings of course.

Sorry to see this.  Canvass the neighbors to see if any ring cameras might have caught a visual on the offender.

RIP to Van.  He had indicated to me he had recently sold his Ford GT.  May he be driving at speed in the next realm that awaits.
