Well in a way we have something in common. I was going to buy a brand new GT-350 right off the showroom floor in Placerville and decided to get a Galaxie 500XL instead. Dumb, Dumb, Dumb.

On the Gt-500 you are correct. I don't known why I put the 66 in there. I believe the 67s were made by Shelby and then Ford carried them on into the 68 year after Shelby left for Africa, but I am not sure of that. Then some years later, can't remember just which year, Ford was going to make a Motor craft Cobra with the 302 engine but by the time they got all the emission stuff on it and the safety stuff for that year, it was to expensive and had little performance so that idea went by the wayside.

It is very hard to find a good 65 or 66 Mustang body around here as so many were used to make Shelby Clones they have all but vanished from this area. I just see a few at some of the car shows once in a while.
