I think Pinto's may have come with one.

It would really be nice if some of the Shelby folks who attended Mecum could post what
they saw regarding 6s2374 in person.  I am sure there were quite a few knowledgeable Shelby people
there and some reasons why the bidding stopped at 75K. With the work needed maybe thats all its worth.
It really makes me believe that the BAT auction previously was a lot of fake bidding.

I guess he will have to push it across the block unless he spends the time and money
to have it go under its own power at least. might get a few bucks more for it.

Hey thank you very much, With the bearing still installed I did not
realize that the axle diameter is stepped larger where the bearing locates.
that would explain it.

Hi all,
I was wanting to replace my axle bearings and where am I wrong?
I ordered skf bearing RW 207 CCRA which is supposed to be correct but the I.D. of
the bearing is 1.377 and the axle diameter where it is pressed on is 1.365 obliviously
not going to press on.  could anyone suggest a brand or know what part I need? 
The axle seal seems to be the correct size and I think it will seal , just completely
confused , any help would be greatly appreciated.

Now with the car cleaned up you can really see the work it needs.
My car is a little dusty, so I do need to find out who his auto detailer is so
I can raise my cars value 100K

   I guess we will have to wait for the next to last one made to come along.

Just my 2 cents,
I can't say if all the bidding was real but I do believe some of the money was scared away
by the negative comments.  First the tag controversy, the seller stated it was likely a repro.
I tend to agree with him,. Even though the stories trying to match the evidence could not be proven. 
Next the engine... is it rebuildable? or cracked or bored to the max already who knows. last but not least is
the varied estimates of restoration costs. Not a car for me. All the discussion was good at least the bidders
should have been pretty aware of what they were bidding on.  There are a few really good 66 shelby experts
beyond me on here and there should be more interesting reading.

When it comes to 65,66 or 67 original serial number tags
if you can read it at all , leave it alone.

Hey Guys ,
thanks for all the replies! always great help here.
There it is on page 15 2019 registry as mentioned above is the color breakdown.
I sure missed it.
best,
Dave

Hi All,
does anyone know the total production breakdown of 1966 Shelby by colors?
it may have been asked before but I don't remember seeing it. It  would be interesting to know.
Mine is sapphire blue just wondering how that color compares to the others.
Thanks,
Dave

some 66 Shelby owner will be very happy!  Hope the car still exists.

The same thing goes for 14 inch tire selection and availability.
todays cars no longer use them and its not worth the cost for tire
companys to continue to produce them. This is why the molds for
them have been bought by aftermarket tire companies.

I wonder if the back up lights come on when its shifted into reverse?

These hoses have been sold pending payment.
thank you.
