1966 Shelby GT350/GT350H / 66 Quarter Window Authenticity...
Last post by brandosaac - June 18, 2026, 06:55:31 PMI am looking for some help to identify if all of these parts I have are original.
Long story short, I picked up these parts from someone who has restored a handful of 65-66 shelbys in his day. After getting the parts home and going through the boxes I reached back out to him and asked if all parts were original take offs. He is quite old, but recalls installing a complete new Branda kit for the restoration and saved these take off parts. The parts were wrapped in newspaper dated 2001 so most likely theyve been boxed up since then.
The 4 black frame pieces are plastic and have grain, the gaskets and plexiglass deffinately look like they are 60+ yrs old, no markings on plexiglass, but its the exterior molding that is in question, How can I tell if they are original or not? What material was used? what finish? how to determine the finish? are there certain bends or crimp marks to look for?
Once I properly identify them Id like to get them to someone restoring a 66 , so would also like to know what fair market value might be as well?
I have many more pics if needed.
Looking forward to any replies, thanks

CSX1000, 4000, 7000, 8000 / CSX4000 history
Last post by scg36 - June 18, 2026, 06:29:22 PMHello SAAC Forum,
I have been a SAAC member for 22 years.
I just purchased CSX4147, and could use some help on its history. It comes with the original statement of origin dated 1999. It also comes with the paperwork from NY where the engine was installed. Other than the gentleman I purchased from, and knowing it was in NY prior to his ownership, I was hoping to see if there
is any additional history.
I went to the cobra registry, and that did not have anything.
Appreciate the help.
Thanks, Sean

Last post by SBCARGUY - June 18, 2026, 03:11:46 PMIt did when I owned it and sold it....
It was a solid, excellent car.
That was 13 years ago and I have not seen it since...
Remember it won Premiere 5-6 years before I purchased it and the guy I bought it from NEVER used it....
Came from a Private collection of 50 plus cars
