Keels and Wheels 2019

[eric lipper]

I know that my car is certainly not MCA perfect but last weekend at Lakewood Yacht Club's Keels & Wheels Shelby was the honored marque again.  There were four 67's, two 68's and one 65.  There were no pigs there and all of the cars were nicely presented.  Here are a few pics:

Congratulations!

(do you know the other two '67's car numbers?)

Cool trophy!

No, but one is owned by Dennis Flolo and the other is owned by Jon Hodges both of whom are local Houston guys.  I don't know if they are ever on the Forum because they are both collectors of multiple brands.  With that said, Jon Hodges had several cool cars there such as what looked to me to be a perfect 1965 Shelby, an ultra fresh 1969 Boss 9 (won best Mustang which was not in the Shelby class), and a survivor 1953 Corvette.

I hope more people showed up to take in the show.

I've attended that show several times. Always great line-up of cars, and the vintage wooden boats are a bonus!  Very nice venue too.

CS was Grand Marshall circa 2008.

I believe the DMG car is #1997 and the NB car is #0508. I didn't find pictures of the 4th '67 on display there.

Here's a link to some great photos of the entire show (and how I found the hints needed to ID these two '67s.)

There's one or two nice photos of #2714 too!
Looks like a really nice gathering to enjoy. Congrats on the trophy!

I don't want this group to think less of me but the red 1963 Corvette split window coupe was mine as well.  For reasons I did not entirely understand the other 1967 was in the Mustang Coral.  I have no pics of that car and it was pretty far off the path

any info on the nightmist with parchment?

Hey Eric,
Congratulations!  Think less of you - Hardly!  You might as well add a red 1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6  to that collection!  One of my favorites!
Here is a picture board on #508 for more info.  It is a beautiful car.

In looking closely at this car there were a lot of questions in my mind.  It says that it was a factory AC car but the power steering pulley was not the right one and the compressor was clearly an aftermarket radial.  I think it was converted -- there was no Marti Report to verify if it was a unicorn.  It says that it was a 427 car but the engine was not a 1967 427 as the casting was not correct and it looks like a much later block.  I suspect that the dash in the car is from another 1967 Mustang that had AC.  Also, the fiberglass on the car looked like it was all reproduction.  With that said the paint on this car was outstanding and you have to like the parchment interior.

Hey...you're right it was a factory automatic with emissions, no A/C. 412F package per the full VIN
The Nightmist blue paint looks a mile deep, and with the parchment interior that is a striking combination.

Adding a vented hood was smart to let the hot air escape, especially with the inboard grille lights on a GT500.
I haven't looked too deep into when the fiberglass hoods started yet, but with a SA completion date on 2/8/67 it's doubtful.
(of course as a non A/C car it would likely not have had a vented hood.)
