Just now, tow truck driver and I are pushing 66 Shelby into garage after being away 8 years, it's banging and clunking like a bowling ball in the boot, he says "mate that's not good" my response "that's the Detroit locker diff and it's all good, it thinks we are losing traction"
I love these cars

LOL! "Bean" (Canadian/UK pronunciation of "been" Very good!

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Yes what's not to love! They stay with you even when separated. Stronger pull than an old flame.

I thought the Detroit Lockers were only on the 1965 cars and they did away with it for the 1966 cars

It was a dealership option, wasn't stock standard on the 66's. Didn't know myself until Howard Pardee enlightened me.  :)

Lockers are a popular item for '66 owners to add to their cars. I put one in my 6S087 and love it.
