Nah, your Midnight Orchid 4.30 gear trumps them all. Some are so jealous they piss on it.

Yeah thats been over 20 years now the ford 100 years show a great historic event not to be missed as its the only car event my dad ever went to with me and my brother pat who helps me restore cars and dad wanted to see the event but really wanted to see the henry ford muesum and greenfield village and the ford assembly plant tour ford did as part of the 100 year events.  The 2 orange 70 scj 4-speed verts are identical cars with same options consecutive serial # 2655-2656 and are ford executives shelbys built together but they changed the color combo coral/white and grabber orange/black and they both have original drivetrains with about the same mileage and being assigned to ford executives they had an easy early life.

Pete,
Oops!  I just realized you were asking about the car # in reply # 8. 

That is a picture of Phil Quinn's car at an earlier MCACN event.  His car is # 2686 as Gary mentioned in reply #11 (Reply # 11 has pictures of my car at MCACN 2023, but includes Phil's Marti report in the same reply)

Sorry for the confusion.

Hi  Mike, I wish I could have met you there by your car. My pics I blew up the marti report of 2686. Here it is. 500 mile car. Again, I wished I took more pics. The owner(Phil) was gracious enough to let me get up real close but when I am running around MCACN I tend to not take as many pics as I like and still end up with hundreds. What is interesting is look at the Marti report and out of 641 total 70 FBs(Gt350 and 500s) 172 had R-code and "6" trans. 96 or 98 were drag pack cars(doesn't say if auto and 4 speed combined but assume as such?). That lends to what Ed said as they being more expensive so more left to convert to 70s.
