1966 Carryover #074

[JWH]

Offered for sale, 1966 Carryover #074 - Interested buyers must read the history of this car in the Registry. If you do not have a Registry, contact me and I will send to you. A Pre Purchase Inspection (PPI) by a respected Shelby expert is highly encouraged! I will split the cost of the inspection with an interested buyer after placing a refundable deposit.

#074 was one of the first cars brokered by Peter Klutt who owns Legendary Motors in Canada

It was also owned by Bill & Jean Whitley. Bill was the SAAC rep in the NY area and while he was driving a Cobra, wife Jean became well known in the area driving #074. Their story can be found in the Fall 2010 SAAC Annual magazine.

Another owner of note was Paul Fix, who has been involved in Shelbys and the Shelby community almost from the beginning.

I purchased the car from Canada just north of Bellingham, WA during Covid. The story of buying the car across the border during Covid and getting it home appears in the Winter 2022 SAAC Annual magazine.

I drive this car at least twice a week weather permitting and everything works as it should and it runs really well. I was able to purchase a Holley carb dated 1st week of July 1965 off the SAAC website and had Drew Pojedinec rebuild and restore. The engine starts with the bump of the key.

I am confident the drive train is original. The engine block is stamped with the corresponding Ford VIN verified by Howard Pardee. The transmission has an aluminum case dated 4-12-65 and a cast iron tail shaft. The rear end and housing appear original. The 3.89 tag remains on the rear end which shows the Carryover-only part number of C5ZX-B.

The main variations from the original configuration are a rear pan hard bar and side exiting exhaust.
   
Correct drum brake backing plates stamped with FoMoCo and KH 70390 and KH70391 and new 10 X 2 1/2" brake pads, drums and hardware have just been installed along with functioning parking brake.
 

Again, please read the Registry on this car and contact me directly for more history or questions about the car itself. I am located in a suburb of Denver and have a clean Colorado title.
Asking $249,000.

Engine pictures. The date on the carb is 1st week of July 1965. As mentioned in the ad, I shipped the carb to Drew Pojednic for him to rebuild and restore and it performs really well. The intake is the small letter S1MS intake. The heads have 20 and 21 cast on the corners. The engine block is stamped with the matching VIN for #074 verified by Mr. Pardee.

More interior pictures. Note there is some fraying of the carpet around the shifter boot. Probably from a previous owner taking a short-cut installing a new shifter boot rather than removing the seat and lifting the carpet out of the way to install the boot.

I believe the Carryovers were the only GT350s to have an axle tag of C5ZX-B. The 1965 and later 1966 GT 350s received different axle tags. While installing the drum brakes, I had the differential checked out and new rear axle bearings and seals installed.
       The T-10 transmission has an aluminum case and cast iron tail shaft. The date code on the case is 4-12-65. The shifter is a stock Ford shifter.

Please contact me if interested and arrange for a qualified Shelby expert to perform a Pre Purchase Inspection. In my opinion, this is a great car for someone looking for a Carryover they can drive and enjoy.
