My old 65 and 66 GT350's and 65 289 Cobra


Recommended Posts

Hi;

I am new here but very old in the world of Shelby's. If I can help someone who has one of my old cars with information about the car, please contact me. I owned a 65 GT350 5S063, a 66GT350-6S1908 and a 65 289 Cobra-CSX2401.

Thanks,

Nice of you to offer. You might also post your message at the www.shelbyforums.com site. I am sure it would be appreciated. Do you remember the Shelby VIN on your cars?

Thanks for the idea. No, I do not remember the Shelby number but, my 66 was blue and the 65 was a number in the 42,43, or 44, a very early car. I can find that number as somewhere, I have th ead I bought it from in Ct.

Wow, that's very nice of you, Bill. Do you miss them? I had a '67 GT350, #2189, and a '69 GT500, #2602. I really miss my '67 the most. It was a blast to drive! I am sure someone will pick up on this serial and pass it along to the rightful owners...

Yes, I miss the 65 the most. It was a raw race type car. When I bought the 66, I had two children and needed the back seat. I bought the 65 years later when I had more than one car. I owned a 67 GT350 and two 67 GT500's but, they just passed through my hands for a few months and do not show up in the registry. Right now, I am waiting for my vista blue GT500. But, I just ordered it and it will probably be the end of the year. I think I am doing a super snake but, need to convince the wife that the $28k makes sense. That is the tough part of the equation. Bill

By the way, I have talked to the 66 and Cobra owners.

My new 07 is Vista Blue without the over the top stripe; you will love the color and the car. I am considering upgrades but have not decided. I have a 66 and a 68KR and love them all; just like kids; each one different but I have to say the 66 is my favorite child; raw and real.

How was your 65 optioned? Stripes, wheels, steering wheel 15 or 16, radio ,outside mirror, any other difference due to it being the two digit car#63 prepped before the assembly line etc. Any old photos you can post?

 

IT WAS A WHITE CAR WITHOUT STRIPES. I HAD STRIPES PAINTED ON THE CAR. IT HAD THE KH MAGS, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS WOOD (DON'T REMEMBER THE SIZE) AND, IT DID NOT HAVE A RADIO. IT HAD THE LITTLE EUROPEAN STYLE MIRROR. IT HAD A BLUE DOT SPARE. I NEED TO TRY TO FIND THE OLD PHOTOS BUT, IT HAS BEE 27 YEARS SINCE I SOLD IT SO, THEY ARE PROBABLY GONE. THANKS.
