Thanks I'll try lowering the pressure to 28 but I swear they came with a big sticker that said don't go over 40 psi

Thanks I did have these on my KR also I just don't remember them being this bad

I have a fresh set of the Goodyear speedway 350's  because I just love the look of them ,wondering what's others driving impressions on these are ,they seem to be allover the road with me once I get going 60 mph or so ,the car gets real floaty i have to move the steering wheel back & forth to keep it straight & kinda tracks in the lines on our crappy SoCal freeways.Is this how they are I have pressure at 32 psi like it says on the tire ,or maybe my suspension or steering is worn out ,I did notice all the bushings are kinda old & cracked up .Btw keeping the gold ten spokes for now they where done well & seem to be a Pia  to get them refinished  I talked to a guy recommended in another thread & he said he didn't know when he could even get to them,they kinda match the gold Gt500 emblem.

who you guys getting those stickers from

ok thanks guys that makes sense, i'll have to get the one high beam fixed

 Playing with the car this weekend & I notice one of the center fog lights is out so ? Is do these come on with the headlights or is there a switch to turn the center lights on or off ,or are they high beams & stay on all the time I'm confused about these ,looking in the owners manual it shows a switch under dash & a seat belt light that I don't seem to have .

My Marti report on my my newly acquired  67 gt500 specifically says Aluminum 10 spokes

Upland/ Claremont area just outside of LA county lmk if you guys go to any of the Cars & coffee's around Oc or LA or hit a show

Thanks everyone I'm #1724

Here's pic of the 1st of 6 pages of the DSO & another page seems to be some kind of electrical check page they did & the gold ten spokes

So thanks to everyone along the way who helped me on my journey to find a 67 GT500 car ,you guys have commented on several cars i've asked about over the last year .Even though i had never actually seen a parchment car in person until recently ,i knew i wanted one of these rare birds just based on the pics i'd seen.But they never seemed to come up for sale ,until recently when 2 of them popped up so i knew i had to make a move.I was outbid on the Dark moss green one at Scottsdale BJ a few weeks (stayed in till $180) but i knew this one was available also ,so i had it checked out as  soon as i got home form Scottsdale ,it all seemed to checked out with the # on block & bjbk carbs ,& was in pretty good  condition.Picked it up for $140 which i thought was a good deal considering the color combo & todays market .
Appears to have had a restoration done about 8 to 10 yrs ago with very little milege since,paint is really good has a few minor blemishes & chrome is really nice my detail guy is gonna work his magic with paint correction & ceramic coat & should look great ,interior is unbelievably good for it's age & that its so white no rips or tears anywhere.Engine bay is very presentable & clean several things missing & wrong but easily fixable .For the price i paid i'm very satisfied & looking forward to enjoying it.
Couple observations & ? came with a full 6 page DS0 #2562 is this considered a built sheet ? & also noticed in another thread some guys where looking for a full legible copy of this DSO #2562 lmk & i can send it over .
Also baed on another thread i was able to locate the Ford vin under the passenger side fender & got the Marti already which says it came with 10 spokes which is cool as i like those anyway ,but mine which seem to be original (tapered spoke) have the centers painted gold ,is that possibly original (I'm guessing not ) & does anyone have a contact of someone on the West coast that refinishes  them thanks.

Last time I went to this they were out by the race track now it's only about 10 minutes from the strip.They give a pretty good guided tour twice a day & it's all free & tour guide is pretty informative ,took about 1 hr at  least going over the whole history including the Chrysler years haha I forgot about those lol.Some nice cars there which are apparently rotated to keep it fresh .Not sure if this 67 was the original super snake or not & a nice 65 .And of course a store full of merchandise with CS name on it ,you name it they had it with a Shelby name  on it everything but the kitchen sink lol,anyway great way to kill an afternoon if you wanna get out of the casinos for a bit.

Great show i really enjoyed myself not to be missed for car guys if you've ever been ,so much more to do than just the cars if you wanna take a break.It's easy to get caught up in the moment though it was my 1st time bidding & it's little intimidating to say the least ,i bid  up to more than i wanted to pay for the 67 Dark moss green car luckily, someone came in higher at $190 & i didn't have buyers remorse on Mon Lol .But it all worked out ,i had already had another car in mind &  i pulled the trigger on that  car today ,just as nice  i thought for 140K  & no 10 % fee & seller worked with me on the bill of sale 

I checked in with Dave Mathews already on this & he was gracious enough to give me some info on it & I have 97 registry's info ,Dave told me it went through BJ a few yrs back on East coast ,he said he saw it but hood was closed ,& had some repo parts  ,it has a lot paperwork build sheets etc.What do you guys think on engine bay I'm thinking about flying out to see it ,or any recommendations on someone in the area I could pay to put some expert eyes on it thanks Adam .Obviously listed incorrectly as a Kr
