1966 SHELBY GT350H

I will take some more video soon....This morning I fitted my legit Rego department plates.

( found out it is a $600 dollar fine for making your own )
Can't afford that..

Awesome Buddy...........I drive it every weekend. I have clocked up I think about 470 miles now with no real issues.

Since I last posted anything about it I have been constantly tinkering trying to get everything right. I have now installed the correct full mechanical distributor , which made a big difference to it running smoother. Sorted out a few rattles here & there. This weekend may see the front disc brakes go on...then it is about finished completely...Oh I have a new fuel tank sender unit on the way which I will need to chuck in. October is starting to look abit sketchy at the moment......We have a family member terminally ill & definate plans are awkward.......Paid for the hotel & Show n Shine etc so fingers crossed he holds in there a bit longer..

sorry to hear mate

Hey Dale

do you have a standard dizzy on that ??
The reason I ask is the clearance for the monte carlo bar
I have the same air cleaner now so I will prob go woth the straight bar

66 Hertz · « **Reply #233 on:** September 12, 2011, 12:54:10 pm »

Yes mate it is a standard Shelby distributor which is a Twin point full mechanical one as used in the day.

the one pictured is a standard distributor, which I have since replaced.

Thanks Boss 351...anyone who knows me will tell you I am a bit fussy about what goes on my cars...if it wasn't on it in 66 it's not going on it now......I am one of those crazy fools who likes it all original. Both my cars are all original even down to the start up instructions still on the drivers side sunvisor's...

Very tidy mate
Looks smick

66 Hertz · « **Reply #237 on:** September 19, 2011, 09:29:28 am »

I just thought I would put up a latest pic of the engine now with correct dizzy & different rocker covers.

Over the weekend I fitted my disc brake front end..........all went well, I had to make one new pipe from the master cylinder to the juntion block ( l/h- r/h & rear pipe Joiner )...had different size nipples from the new to the old one. Brakes work great, (manual non power assist )...you can see the master cylinder I used .

This week I am hoping to replace the mufflers with something else with better flow & note...good news is it is nearly finished
ps.....I have managed to get almost 600 miles on it already...

Looks great Dale

After all of the meticulous work that Dale and Mary put into this car, they were well rewarded for their efforts by taking out the award for "Best Restoration "in the Show and Shine section at the Dandenong Mustang Show yesterday.

If anybody saw the quality of cars on display yesterday, you would know it was not an easy task for the judges.

Top job Dale and Mary. Managed to catch up with them on the way back to Adelaide and took a couple of photos. Here are the proud owners with car and trophy -

Dale also insisted on a photo with Jeremy - owner of Image Classic Cars who did the panel and paint job on the car -

I saw your car Dale and must say that paint job is even better in the flesh, had a quick look for you but no good, but as we left spotted a heap of people sitting under the trees,guess you may have been there. Anyway congratulations you beat a great display of cars.

Thanks guys......................Mary & I had a horror journey over, I nearly didnt come, then an hour into the journey was thinking of turning back....glad we stuck it out. Great friends, great company, terrific hotel awesome show....and reward for the trip. We came home real happy!

66 Hertz · « **Reply #244 on:** October 25, 2011, 08:02:19 am »

bugger it.......its my post!
here are some more shots of my car.

My car was an a really great car when I bought it , after taking it over to Jeremy at IMAGE CLASSIC CARS to repaint it black which as you all know is the hardest colour to get right......he transformed it into what you see today.It is stunning........

I would like to thank,

Jeremy, Andy, Brad & Rod for all their effort in helping me build MY DREAM MUSTANG.....the world famous Rent A Racer Shelby GT350H......

Wilbury · « **Reply #245 on:** May 09, 2012, 09:09:47 am »

Soooo nice. Well done. My favourite is the hertz as well. LOVE that Black/Gold colour way.

Been looking for a stang for a couple months now, spotted a GT350H replica on carsales, only
a suburb away from me in Melb, for 60K, went to enquire later in the day and it had sold. Only
other one around is the Original for $165K... $100K over my budget unfortunately.

Great thread, and congrats on the build!

mwizz · « **Reply #246 on:** May 09, 2012, 07:02:55 pm »

You should see this one in the flesh, even better

66 Hertz · « **Reply #247 on:** May 09, 2012, 09:56:00 pm »

fellas......youre making me blush....

Wilbury · « **Reply #248 on:** May 12, 2012, 12:16:41 pm »

^Thanks Stephen, i could look at 65 Shelby Fastbacks all day long. Unbeatable.

Hertz cw is really the pinnacle for me though. Love Black/Gold and Yellow/Black for that matter.

Wonder if the original Shelby will go up in price... (and i mean no disrespect there).

fellas no disrespect but this thread is my build project thread, hows about start your own thread if you just want to chat......Cheers:thumb:
