1967 Shelby #27 currently resides in Montana, a white GT350. Where did #26 end up?

I sold it to my buddy and SAAC Forum member Brian G and he sold it to a guy in California the greater LA area - so I guess you can say it's gone back closer to "home".

I'm not sure who misses it more Brian or me?

I remember seeing #27 advertised in the SAAC Snakebite when I had #26, thought about buying it to have consecutivley numbers cars but the money for the condition and distance was more that I was willing to do.

Just found this one ! '67 GT???, out boards, dark green, looks to have parchment interior.

Probably 1980's. 0073 with my brother's American wheels. Just checking
size, to see if 235/60's would fit with lowered springs. Center caps have "AMX"
on them. (big brother had a 1970 AMX)

Tom, that looks like it was tight!

Surprisingly, there wasn't any "rub". However, I did go with 225/60's. I had some negative camber
dialed in. If I was turning hard right or left going into a steep driveway it would "scuff". But normal driving
and even all my open track SAAC events, no problem. Really enjoyed that car!

The one picture shows a horn hanging from the hood pin bracket, has anyone seen this before?

Sorry, just saw this thread again and your question...do you mean this image and horn?

If so that is seen on GT500's with outboard grille lights, see attached second & third images (image numbers are not the car number)

This one might have been on forum 1, '70s Ohio, do we know these cars, or the person ?
