Video Of 0100 Warming Up

[Side-Oilers]

Hello,
I put the SAAC sticker on the license plate.
Thanks,
Eric

...doesn't everyone...
(had to pay extra get a cause/organization plate to have the room at the side to put it without covering some of the plate numbers)

"Agricultural"  I love it!!   No, officer, this is my farm truck.

Sounds great, Eric. Wish you had been able to take it to Telluride. We had a great time. Ron

Amazing Eric, no. 100 is truly 'Shelby Royalty'.  One of the three red headed step sisters (100, 139, Lil Red).

Eric, your fenders rolled?

Eric, your fenders rolled?

Yes, they have been rolled.

Here is a photo of the car that was taken in January of this year.  Those repro Speedway 350s look cool, but they are so skinny and offer very little traction.  They do make really smokey burnouts and long black marks on the runway just like it did on the dragstrip at Carlsbad Raceway back in November of 1966!

Thanks,
Eric

Were the Traction Masters on the car from SA and if so, do we know if any other cars got them?

[The Going Thing]

I have the original TMs on my Shelby, but I don't know of a single car that had them installed at SA except possibly the Super Snake. I asked Bob about this years ago.

My car was drag raced by previous owners. When I got it, it had "railroad iron" traction bars on it and the front TM bracket welded to the chassis.

Incidentally. I'd recommend replacing the TM tubing with 3/16 DOM tubes. The TM tubes are too thin for 500's.

I've seen lots of 66 GT350's with bent arms. Some, just from being strapped down to a trailer with.

I would EXPECT a good set of slicks to bend them up pretty good.

[The Going Thing]

I was concerned with that. When I shift hard in second you know about it.

Eric,

What's that oil pan you're running?

[The Going Thing]

He is running the Cobra 6.5 qt T-sump like I am.

Hello,

The front TM brackets (no bars) were on the car when we bought it on 12/27/79.  I do not know if the brackets were installed while the car was an Engineering car, or if they were installed by a previous owner.  The car needs the bars, so I bought new bars from TMC and installed them back in the 1980s

Thanks,
Eric

Hello Roy,

The engine in the car is the "driver engine".  It has a 6.5 quart aluminum COBRA T-Pan on it.  The "show engine" has the correct steel oil pan on it.

Thanks,
Eric
