Be ecstatic owning one. I never said I'd buy one, I'd have better things to spend $400k "large" on than a Shelby just to sit in a garage and look at. Because remember, your own words,most of you on here are not in this for a profit.

So, Greg, Lol. You gonna spend $400k large on a 65 Shelby to get it out and drive it??

Bravo Greg! 

YEAAAAA,  Yea, Bravo Greg!! YEAAAAAAA

I never said most on here aren't in this for profit, not sure where you got that?  I do believe however that one should buy a car because they love it regardless of its potential value but that also doesn't mean you have to be ignorant.

In fact, I have put 1000 miles on mine since April...

Why does it matter if we own one and drive it to you?

Why does it matter if someone sells a car "here" for a profit?

Does it matter if someone sells a car "here" for a loss?

+1 Chris. Went to cars and coffee last weekend. I do worry about Texas deer while driving on the country roads though.....

According to the registry, this car came without Le Mans stripes and it had steel wheels.
I also believe the shifter should be the rounded version as the car was produced at San Jose
late March 1965.
A very common mistake on restored cars are the kick panel lack of fastener screws. It should be three.
Overall I see this as a very nice car and some new owner will be very happy. At 17, I saw the movie "Red Line 7000"
in a movie theater in Stockholm, Sweden in 1965 and I told myself, I will own a 65 one of these days.
It took me 23 years and a move to the US to fulfill this dream. Thanks Rick.

yeah, I never understood that animosity for someone who finds cars and sells them for a profit. I lost money on my first Mustang I bought in 1977 and sold in 1979 and that was it(too many cars at my parents house-cars or find another place to live at 19). Great run since. It is the thrill of the chase to find them for a great or fair price. Put sweat equity into them(have restored many to different levels) or not. Those who do it for a living should never apologize for profiting off of their hard work. Those who do it to fund their passion shouldn't either. Just remember to pay uncle Sam his cut.

Should the master cyl cap be anodized or black?

[mygt350]

At what point was the wiper collar discontinued?

[Rickmustang]

Master cylinder cap is black for 65 350s.

Just wanted to make sure memory hasn't failed me (yet).

At what point was the wiper collar discontinued?

When the shape of the cowl changed so that the bezel were not needed. Base of wiper arm changed at the same time.
