The full VIN is shown in the pictures on the auction site. Interesting the thief's never took the console, wheels, rear tail light assemblies as well the rear exhaust assembly with everything else Shelby related.

Bullet mirrors on both driver and passenger sides were not very common either.

Found this on Craigslist Vancouver the other day. Just down the street from me. Unfortunately it's in Canada.

If you are looking for one that has already been rebuilt, I have two already done. One that was rebuilt by White Post. And another one I purchased from Buckeye Classic Car Restorations a while back that was also rebuilt. Both have been cleaned and sleeved, with new rings installed ready to be installed and used.
I will second White Post. They do great work if you want yours rebuilt.

Hi Darren, pretty sure I have two sets sitting in the shop if interested. Only issue it might be is that I live on the west coast of Canada. Not sure where you are located.

I have no affiliation with White Post, but I have had three sleeved and rebuilt by them. I have no issues with the two that have been installed in my cars. The other sitting in my tool box.  Excellent job and would recommend their work.

S.O.S. scrubbing soap pads and warm water do wonders for raised white letters on tires. Makes the raised white letters nice and white.

Thank you for the clarification on the intake manifold bolts. I wasn't sure that when Ford was installing the cobra intake that the motor was completely built, painted and tested with Ford's intake. Then partially taken apart, and the cobra intake, carb, and oil pan installed.
I thought there maybe a way to differentiate between Ford installing them, and SA. Seems like Ford duplicated their work. Instead of just picking an allotment of engines, and building them with the SA specific items, then testing.

Was the mounting hardware not reused to mount the cobra intakes to the block? If so, why would the bolts be painted blue (1966) if Ford installed the cobra intakes? Was the factory intake originally installed to paint the engine, then removed to install the cobra intake? What was the painting process for the engines?

I'm looking for a set of painted magnum 500's. Is there anyone out there that manufactures or sells the painted ones? Either re-pops or originals.
