Another pic of GT/108

I ran across this short (1:44) video on YouTube.
My apologies if it has been previously posted on the forum.

Battery Central Mall might be an option for you. I have not purchased from them (since my battery from Virginia Classic is still going strong after 5 years) but I bookmarked them a long time ago just in case I would ever need them.

This might be what you're looking for.

Here's another documentary on the Ford vs Ferrari theme that aired on the old
Speed Channel in 2004.
In the words of the YouTube poster, "Just to let everyone know, this video was recorded off cable TV back in 2004,  it's not in HD, the sound isn't the greatest and it contains commercials. If you can't handle that, please don't watch it."
(Handy tip: You can actually click through the commercials.)

 So how many 69-70 shelbys showed up?

I have read that every 1969 to 1970 Shelby VIN tag change had to witnessed by an FBI agent during the process.

Is that a known fact or an urban myth?

Hoping to get a definitive answer to this very question, in 2015, I submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the FBI. The official response was that there were no records pertaining to this subject.
   So this could mean that there was never an FBI agent on site, but yet it still leaves
the possibility that there was an agent on site who either did not file a report or did file a report which was ultimately lost or destroyed.

ITHERTZ,
I was googling wheel repairs the other day and came across this website. I don't know anything about them but they might be able to help you.

As a long time owner of a 70 GT500 (since 1981), I have often thought about why the
69/70 Shelbys received special rear leaf springs.  And how do they compare to regular Mustang springs? Does anybody know the answer(s)?

So I was browsing YouTube recently and came across an old cockpit view video of a 65 GT350 running the  2008 Virginia City Hillclimb.
I don't know if it was on SAAC Forum 1.0 or not, but I thought everyone
would enjoy seeing it here on 2.0.
