  • 2x4 intake and carbs

    Do you guys know the value of a factory installed small letter cobra 2x4 intake and carbs? It came off one of my k codes. I was told by the previous owner that it was dealer installed. I want to sell it to finance my GT500 restoration. Any help is appreciated.

  • Brace

    In addition to the standard 2 piece brace, did all convertibles come with the longer pipe like brace that goes from the firewall to the inner fender apron? If they did not all come with it , what year did it start?

  • 66 K CODE GT CONVERTIBLE

    I have a 66 factory GT k code convertible that I am selling. The car was converted to a shelby clone in the early 70's. I bought the car because it had the original over the counter shelby steering wheel installed in it as well as the original 10 spoke shelby wheels. Since the owner would not sell individually I bought the whole car. I brought the car The car is now back to original color (T). It is not a matching numbers and and it is the rare automatic. I've check for all the GT signs and everything is there, radiator support holes stamped, fog light switch, brackets under the seat for dual exhaust, frame rails have extra brackets for support etc. My asking price before I put it on ebay is $35000. The car is in excellent mechanical condition and is very fast. This is a very fun car to drive. This car is well know in the shelby industry. I was able to get the name of the previous owner who converted it to a Shelby through Haword Pardee who is in charge of the 65-66 shelby in the registry. All panels and floors appear original. The car is a San Jose car(6R08Kxxxxxx). The vin is present on both driver and passenger side. From the time it was converted to a shelby in the 70's, it has been driven to car shows and on weekends. Please email me any question to bracrez@aol.com. I would keep the car but I already own three k code convertibles so here it is.

  • Is it a T5?

    I agree with Bo. My factory GT convertible T5 does have the even spaced export brace just like my 66 Shelby. I thought the previous owner added the washers but I guess I will make sure they go back. It look horible with the washers. I am fortunate to have all documentation as far as bill of sale, window sticker and shipping documents with my t5 so there is no doubt that it is what the prevous owner told me. After placing this post I went through my T5 registry and discovered that all of the T5's were built at the T or F plant. That is about 100 cars. I think it is safe to say that if any were from San Jose it would be very small. If it were a T5 I would keep it but now I will be selling it as soon as I get it repainted.

  • Is it a T5?

    I just bought a 66 k code convertible that was converted into a shelby clone mostly because it had an original 66 shelby optional steering wheel that wanted for my shelby. I got the car home yesterday and it appears that it was an original factory GT. My biggest question is the fact that it has the extra plate that I have on my T5 where the export brace bolts on to the cowl, could it be a t5? My original T5 has the original door tag as well as all documentation but this car comes with no paper work. The GT grill was replaced with a shelby type grill(no horse and corral) but I still have the for light switch in the car which prompt me to look for the holes in the radiator support which have been stamped(has a lip on the inside of the radiator support)and the plate inside the frmae rails as well as brackets under the rear seats for the dual exhaust. I will be selling the car since I already have 3 k convertibles but the big question is, is this a T5 factory GT convertible?

  • HEH-BX TRANNY

    I found a vin # on the tranny and it belongs to my car that is still at the shop so, I've decided not to sell the tranny. I do have one for $1200.00 that is rebuilt and ready to go. It is also a HEH-BX tranny.
