Little Red

Cool.
Looking through my files this pic described as LilRed_engine, pic by SA chief engineer Fred Goodell. Could be?

I period type single paxton couldn't build any substantial usable boost with the 428 displacement. Maybe with a very small pulley.

Pretty sure those wheels were on the car when it was sold by Courtesy Ford in Colorado...

It looks like the Paxton gauge panel is still in the car from the unveiling photos.

I saw some gauges under the dash. I have more photos, but I am not smart enough to shrink them on the ipad

Although the panel looks like the one used with paxton cars the gauges are oil pressure and alternator instead of paxton fuel pressure and Boost.

Thanks Bob!

Maybe the gauges were replaced in the panel when the Paxton was removed?

 What do you think about the discovery  Bob?

About as close to a miracle as you can get. I wish I was there to see it in person.

[Coralsnake]

Its craziness for sure. The stories about the previous owner are very interesting.

I agree, very very significant discovery

Long day, more looks tomorrow...

Craig shows the original untouched serial numbers. The car is shown as found.

Engine bay has lots of details

Interesting base car.... not sure what I was expecting but interesting just the same. Wonder if it was new or used when Shelby got it. Marti report/Ford records would help with that.

Of course I'm just as focused on the base car - interesting that it has at least one unibody panel with the long list.

Sure there will be allot of what would be expected mixed with new finds and head scratchers

Great find - one more checked off the "list"

Sure this thread will grow and grow.

Hello Pete,

Craig stated that info for 0131 and "several other cars" was found that related to Courtesy Ford in Littleton, Colorado.  Can you please tell me if info for 0100 was included in what was found?

Thanks,
Eric

I believe it was delivered to SA as a new car. It has it's own DSO number.
Built at San Jose 11/8/66 - SA completion 12/7/66
