Vintage Photos of 6S033

[Brant]

I received an unexpected treat in the mail this week when this print showed up. It was taken of 6S033 when one of the Shelby employees leased the car through Shelby's employee lease program. It was taken in the Spring of 1966 at Yosemite Falls in California.



It's a great compliment to the other vintage photos that I previously received from the first retail owner when he took delivery of the car in September of 1967.

I really enjoy seeing these vintage pictures. I hope more will follow your examples.

Awesome Brant, thanks for posting. Is that gauge on her dash aftermarket?

Cheers

By Sept. of 1967, the original tach had already been stolen.

I'm guessing Hurst shifter

"Cragars"
Original invoice from SA shows the radio, but no wheels. I'm not really sure what the deal with the wheels were. It just seems that if Cragars were on the car when SA sold it, they would have charged for them! Can you imagine Shelby not charging for something that was supposed to be charged for?
They didn't miss the radio.




"No front bumper guards"
Through three Shelby employee leases and apparently an entire year at Dana Chevrolet, I'm pretty sure it was "ridden hard and put away wet" most of the time.

"No reverse lights"
That one is easy. It's 6S033. All of the carryovers started as 1965 Mustangs, so none of them had back up lights.

"seatbelt leather pad(tan) on the latch side not tongue side"
It still had the original seat belts when I purchased it in 1999, and yep, that's the way they were.

"white shifter ball"
What is the first thing you did in 1967 after buying a GT350? Install a Hurst shifter, of course!

Brant, 6s007 had same belt configuration

Tim,

Thanks for your input. I've seen quite a few cars built around that time with that seat belt configuration and even the tan (as opposed to black dyed) leather pads.

Whr do you think of dash gauge Brant? Was it a original top cobra logo when you got her?
