JeffJ Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 I'm gonna have to hit up Dean for my commission at the next race. Ha...ha... I've sold two cars for him and a few sets of wheels off of posting his things for sale around. I like Dean. He's a great guy and one heck of a racer! If Shelby wants at some point to get into professional racing again, they should work with Dean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Patten Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 After seeing these pics - maybe I'll go out and buy some WD40 stock - looks like there maybe an increase in sales ! Guess this is where they came up with the saying " Rode hard , put away wet " Oooohhh ! Did I say that ! Sorry to those offended . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stngfever Posted July 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 To summarize what has been identified thus far: Original owner 7/08 - 11/11 Second Owner 12/11 - 1/13 (10/12 Hurricane Sandy Flooded this car) Salvage Title 1/13 Centri style supercharger was on this car at one time (Appears it was removed before Hurricane Sandy, potentially before orginal owner traded it in) Missing front sway bar JBA headers Flowmaster Mufflers Adjustable rear lower control arms GT500 Dual Fuel Pump Based on the above, I believe this car saw some 1/4 mile action at some time in its previous life (rode hard) then put away wet And I plan to breath life back into it and ride hard with a purposeful track car!

Kevin Patten Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Scott, May I ask how the clockspring ribbon got that way when the earlier pic show the steering wheel ( drivers ) air bag has not gone off . Was someone curious ? I don't think that just 1 air freshener is going to do the job - hey JMO I would recommend that you drain the engine oil , trans fluid , gas tank , differential oil , and check the carbon canister all for water before going in any more . Have you tried turning the motor over by hand yet ? What else do you need in your care package ? JeffJ - can we have a ruling here on the rust ?

JeffJ Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 JeffJ - can we have a ruling here on the rust ? Yep, that's rust. Yep, that's a lot of work to gut all those electronics that are crap. Wow, that's a lot of work to do, but will be worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stngfever Posted July 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Very observant kevin on the clockspring! I'm sure u can guess how that happened? Lol As for the care package, what ever else u can think of that I haven't already mentioned! Since the amps are required to start these cars, im assuming your gonna need those? I can't thank you enough for your assistance with my project! But, nice try on getting the judge involved! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
