I am looking to purchase a set of new tires this summer.  I have a GT350H, stock Shelby suspension, and original Magnum 500s.

Currently, I am running BF Goodrich 205/70R14.

Anyone running 215/70R14 Cooper Cobras?  Do they rub?

Any other suggestions? 

I drive it weekly on the street and highway.

With a stock ride height and stock 14 x 6 Magnum 500 wheels, you should have no problems with rubbing if you run a 215/70 x 14 size.

I prefer them over the smaller 205/70s and currently run them on a '66 with Magnums that is driven quite a bit.

As far as choices for tires, the BFG Radial TAs are fine if you like those.

For a higher end tire, the Michelin XWX comes in a 215/70 x 14 size. I run that tire in a different size on 15 inch wheels on my '65 that is also driven quite a bit.

We still have a few reproductions of the 289 High Performance Fans from the last run.

They are still only $175.00

A few pictures here on my Blog post of the restoration of 6S033.

Unfortunately, I have nothing to add about the removed "H" in the stripes, but the SB Chevy with the blower sure was interesting in 6S819! LOL

I think Chisman got a speeding ticket for 150 or something crazy like that.

If you have anywhere on the car that you can match an original sample, I would do it.

Most 65-66s that I see are painted in a Wimbledon white that is not white enough (too yellow.)

It does not really matter.

Looking at original pictures, I have seen the Blue Dots lined up with the valve stems, and I have seen them not lined up.

If you are having them mounted though, I would personally line them up. No reason, other than it cool and is no problem to do so.

We have them in stock.

They look and work well.

Not the greatest pictures, but the only ones that I could find quickly.

Were the '66 Shelby sill plate emblems installed on top of the Ford script emblems?

I have seen quite a few carryover cars where the SA labels were glued directly over top of the black Ford labels.

You usually don't see this in later production '66s.

On GT350s, you will find the early carpet on the first batch of cars (100+) and also the second batch (the next 100+).

The front to rear battery cables that I have seen on every car is black.

The 7/65 dated shocks that I have observed are like the ones you posted.
Earlier dates have the smaller top bushings.
