He was simply trying to see if Carroll's saying "There's never enough horsepower, just not enough traction" was true.

This is the picture that always makes me hold my forehead !!!

BG

Swedish car. Not a real Shelby. Vin# 8R02T148***.
It has had 22 owners!

[oldcanuck]

Yes - What was he thinking ..... adding stripes  Just looks wrong and on top of that painting it's Raider colors !!

Please don't say that...... over time, I prefer that the interior colors are bleeding through to the exterior !

Couple 67's collecting dust

I think I recognize the white car on the left, was a pervious owner from near Akron Ohio and worked for Goodyear?

Wondered if someone might recognize that script on the rear fender can't quite make out what it says ,super snake maybe

[JD]

Yes "Super Snake" Steve had those on both rear fenders.

I think the car may have been an automatic, certain it was a GT350. I had the car number written down some where and a couple partial photos of the car.  I think he sold it in the late 1990's, not sure.

Thank you Doug....  it was liberated from a garage sitting beside a Thunderbird just like the previous picture in 68krrrr's post.

I wish I had taken a picture of the cat footprints in all the dust !

So did they produce them in batches of the same colors ,looks like about 7 white ones in a row with I think  # 0025 in the front

Believe they would likely convert the cars based on need/orders that needed filling.   But just a guess - don't recall seeing paperwork related to order of conversions. If its out there "they " will surely post

From that picture I wonder how difficult it was to move those cars along the line by hand and where they pushed or pulled on when doing it. Looks like the dollies were designed to use the same (just 4 of the holes that San Jose/Milpitas used

Yes it seems like they did produce them in batches of the same colors especially the early cars.not always but definitely a pattern sometimes.You would have to have the DSO sheets to appreciate the pattern of cars produced in the same colors .

Nice & what a great pic to have of your car as an owner

That would be so amazing to have a photo of my Mach 1 coming down the assembly line in 1969. 

Cool that some of the Shelby owners have that kind of documentation/history!!

I read in a Mustang Monthly way back in the late 80's/early 90's that a worker for Mustang Monthly magazine had the opportunity to follow his fox body from start to finish on the assembly line.  I mean from the floor pans being pressed out to the Mustang rolling off the assembly line.  How cool would that be.  Some here may know that story and who the Lucky person was.
