I came across this craigslist ad posted in the Seattle, Washington area. It appears to be a complete Paxton set up that has been rebuilt by Paradise Wheels. I have no affiliation with the seller, but thought I would post here as someone may be interested in this for their GT 350.

From the past early superchargers I personally have had;
the blue color, if it was not changed, leaves me to believe this is a late 1967 EARLY 68 set-up.
I say this because two of the early units I sold, and were advertised at SAAC, were black case originals.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
One black case had numbers for an early 67 shelby factory build car.
Other one went to a 65 Shelby, black case as it should also be.
BOTH SET UPS SOLD TO SAAC MEMBERS WITH DOCUMENTED SHELBY PAXTON CARS.
they are numbered and dated, easily detectable if their stamped numbers have been altered
>>>>>
Different note; I think white cases started in late 1968 or early 1969 possibly ?
IF THE SELLER IS NOT ASKING FOR THE SKY & MOON, GREAT SET UP TO BUY, BASED UPON NUMBERS .

Is this the first futuristic exotic in the world?
Size of an ac cobra, but built in 1935 !

Could I ask an expert to chime in on whether the unit is complete/ready to install as shown.  Thanks.

I would save the pictures and contact Craig Conley at Paradise Wheels as he is the foremost expert on the Paxton superchargers and pose the question to him. https://paradisewheels.biz/
