You just can't deny those Black and Gold Bad Boys

Ahem, red and gold...

Bonjour mon ami,

Practicing my French so when I arrive at McDonalds, I can order my meal properly when I say "French Fries"

Moving to the topic at hand, 1966 Shelby GTH that got SOLD for $420,000 cash money. ( heck we are almost millionaire's now with this documented 66 Hertz sale)

We are in a very exclusive club its the "Hertz Rent a Racer" club


Yes we know that those "66 Bad Boyz" came in assorted colors Wimbledon White, Candy Apple Red, Ivy Green, and Sapphire Blue.

But that "Gansta Raven Black paint with de Gold Le  Mans and side stripes" makes those particularly the "Baddest of the Bad Boyz"

Almost a "Darth Vadarish"  sinister if we do say so.

Well enjoy your new found 1/2 Million Dollar Hertz Mobil car

Until next time do stay WARM !

are they white header gaskets I see?

Yes they are and they are supposed to be white.

Yes they are and they are supposed to be white.

I think I still have a white pair in the gasket pile - worth digging out?

I used to have sets of those, now they are impossible to find the correct ones
Always searching for things like that

.....now they are impossible to find the correct ones

They lasted but have the look of pressed asbestos so they probably got banned.
It's the CA state rock: Since 1965, serpentine has been the State Rock, the first such designation for any state. The choice of serpentine was an economic one. Serpentine is a source of asbestos, which was widely used in construction and other industries. With more serpentine than any other state, California benefitted financially from this mineral.

The white intake gaskets Ford used in the late 60's early 70's were allegedly asbestos based.  They were unbelievably hard to break loose a took a lot of scrapping and digg8ng to clean up. Same thing for the front pump gaskets on the automatic transmission
Probably shortened my life a few years working that environment back then. But it was fun
