Konis

If you just want a new set and not concerned about them being period correct, Summitt Racing sells them. They are expensive, but will be the last set of shocks you have to buy!

Mark,

If you need current Konis without date code correctness you must be able to find them in the UK. If not you can buy them from Holland or Sweden and get EU lower taxes on them. The part numbers are 1388 front and 1389 rear. The original 65 Konis in 1965 and used on the 65 Shelby were 1326 front and 1327 rear. Konis are made in Holland as you probably know.

Not sure of the cost with import duties, but http://www.tirerack.com has them on sale for $109 each.

Mark,

I have 4 used Konis I bought for my 65 Shelby many years ago.

As you know, I haven't driven the car that much but the

two front upper bracket bushings dried in the Texas heat

and should be replaced. Date codes are: Front 909 and Rear 911.

Removed them when I found 4 65 dated shocks for my car.

Also have 2 fronts dated 4 73 and rear dated 4 70. None of them leak but I have never used them. Both these pairs are 1388 and 1389's.

$100 each shock plus shipping.

I'm searching for a rear pair of vintage Koni 1327's. Anybody out there have a set they're willing to part with?
