I did. I wouldn't peg you for a Shelby fan, at all.
Every day here at work, I sit about 30 feet from a '67 GT500 factory 4-speed car. |

Really? I love those cars- well, up 'til '68. The 68 and later Shelby's are pretty fugly. Elsinore from Gone in 60 seconds was ugly too.
Is it just a GT500 or a "R", KR"? Last weekend I was at Safeway and some guy had another one of my faves- a pumkin orange '70 Challenger R/T with a 440 Mag and a six pack. Yum!
I'm all over the place car wise. I saw on old man driving one of these today and got a little jealous.

This thread will probably get moved or locked because its not bus material but... I found a 31 Ford Model A coupe (4 door, suicide doors) yesterday. It is basically the frame, body, glass but it is in great shape. I was only able to find 2 small spots of rust-through.
Like this, but not as nice obviously. They want $2K for it.

A hot rod project may be in my very near future.
BTW: that is a cool barnfind. |
I've never seen a 4 door model a coupe, but there's always a first!
You'd have to pay me $2k for an unrestored 28- early 31' fordor sedan! They're full of wood... |
? If I'm not mistaken, a "coupe" by definition, is always 2 door. A "sedan" by definition is always 4 door. If this is wrong, I've been misinformed for 30 years. |
You're wrong.

Why does a chicken coop have 2 doors?
'Cause if it had 4 doors it would be a chicken sedan. |

I know a stationwagon when I see one. Too long to be a hatchback. Too square in the back to be a sedan. Yes, I think you have a stationwagon. |

I would have too!
It's just a GT500 (just). I don't think they made "KR"s until '68. I'm not a mustang guy, but I've learned a bit purely from osmosis. The family I work for used to have a whole bunch of mustangs/shelbys. The last one sold was a red, 68 KR that only had 48,000 miles on it. It had one cylinder sleeved, but was untouched besides that. The GT500 was stolen when new, so the numbers engine is long gone. They've collected everything else to put it back together. Shit, even things like seat belts and steering wheels are thousands of dollars. It's nuts! It's also funny because the steering wheel is EXACTLY like an old Monza brand VW steering wheel that I have. They must have been made be the same company and badged differently. The car is sitting on it's side on a spit in the back room of our building.
MY boss also has a '67 convertible. Wimbledon white with red interior. It has a new 5.0 in it with a Rousch intake that makes it look like some kind of exotic Ferrari motor or something, Willwood disc brakes and a 6-speed. It's quite a car. |

That's not the greatest example (although a nice pic): VW called it a sedan because they were trying to market the bus as a station wagon and didn't want to confuse the issue. But of course that just confused everything even more. _________________ Central Jersey VW Society
