Neil, There is a guy here in Denver that has a bunch of them. He is a bit eccentric. Give me a few days to follow up and I will let you know if he will sell one and what he wants for it. If successful, I might be able to deliver it. I am going to be in Salem/Clemson area late March. And I...

I think you mentioned that it had a 9" rear. Wouldn't that indicate a GT and dual exhaust? Definitely get a Marti report.

As said earlier - Rare does not always mean desirable. With all the rust issues, I would also be concerned about how the roof looks under the vinyl top. My opinion, I'd get that $9K in my hands as quick as I could! Good luck, though, with whatevery you decide. David

The SAAC forum thread on the Green Hornet says that what appeared to be the last "real" bid was only $300K and that according to insiders the reserve was $2M. They also talked about prices being down on Shelby's, maybe due to the fact that there were over 60 offered for sale (BJ or all...

Congratulations on the purchase and welcome to the site. When was the auction? Should be a pretty interesting car. What made you decide to buy it? Post more pictures when you get a chance. Any other details...engine, options, etc? David

Keep your eye on the weather forecast. You have two really good mountain ranges to get over!

9" rear, ratched shifter, C6 - wonder what has been done to the engine? Got a couple "option" questions: What is the deal with bumber guards? This one has them on the front, but not the rear. What option where they part of? It has stainless trim on the drip rails, but not the wheel...

Not really relevant to this discussion, but I have drum brakes on my 1964 Corvette. They became available in 65. My understanding is that early on, people were a little hesitant to order disc brakes. Somewhat new technology and more expensive to repair/replace. Also for the drag racers, they...

There is a previous thread on this car from a few months ago. I read in my local paper this morning that the pre auction estimate is $17K. No information on when or where the auction will be, though.

Joe, The latest Hemmings Muscle Machines magazine (All Modified special edition) has an article on EFI upgrades. Have not read it completely, but they show cased Mass-Flo's EFI product. Supercharger and Nitros. Should be pretty quick, get those sub frame connectors installed!

Looks like a beautiful car, sorry you have to sell. I sold my 68 convertible last month. Had very good success on carsonline.com. It generaged tons of interest and sold very fast. David

A line lock would be great, I did not have one. I would pump the brakes before staging. At the light I would then keep one foot on the brake and rev the engine into the torque curve (2,500-3,000 RPM) - as high as you can go without spinning the wheels at the light and spinning them off the...

Here is me racing Mr. Teets 428 CJ. Don't ask Bob about tires. He was racing on Polyglass.

I raced 3 seasons in my HCS with Nitto NT555R drag radials and was not pleased with their performance. I'd also recommend 16-18psi as a starting point. Also, once you go through the waterbox. I like to count to 3 after they start to spin and I see smoke. I will be interested to see how the...

Craig Conley, Paradise Wheels is the expert on the older paxton systems. A while back I was looking at buying a GT350R clone with a paxton on it and had a brief conversation with him. Seemed like a good guy. Phone: (760) 740-0954 (might be an old number) edit - Just found on the interned...

Deal fell through?

Not mine, just saw it on craigslist. Pretty interesting car - A code 4spd HCS Got the vin and door tag info, Bob has confirmed it is a real HCS and that it is in his registry. Probably been in Colorado all its life. It looks like a re-spray from Aspen Gold...

Happy Birthday. Hope you had a great day. David

Good one! Just need enough wrenches to be able to Fix Or Repair Daily (FORD). That was a nice looking Tbird. White, if I remember correctly. Should be a fun project.

One article said he owned the car since it was new. Owner's name is Walter Samaszko Jr. Only relative is a cousin that lives in San Rafael, CA. Wonder if the car will show up for sale soon.
