Just to repeat what I have said before on previous threads about the axle bolts (there are quite a few of those threads - who can read them all except Joey? :wink ); I strongly recommend owners get a complete safety check of their cars at the earliest convenience, whether or not you want to...

Sure. See below

For those of us who collect these things, I have pp 58 - 65 saved in one unit. see attached

Yes they can be a pain - if everyone were honest and noble we wouldn't need them. But like any other tool, they can be useful at times.

That fellow has written an article or two for Road and Track. Any more word on the outcome of this crash?

So - no thoughts about suing Goodyear because your tires don't last?? Aren't you aware that there are several starving lawyers out there? Perhaps you and your low-tire-mileage buddies are just heartless and ignoring their plight. Shame on you guys!

Thanks for the detail Jeff. Any guesses on what the supersnake might go for (assuming reasonable sanity)? Here is another site which has old restoration pictures of the car and good story, to help others doing their due diligence, or those int'd in all things cobra...

HHGT, thanks for the advisory. I know you are not sounding an alarm, as much as bringing this to the attention of the community. That's worthwhile and welcome. Back in the 1970's those of us just getting our first cars, at least the ones who liked cars in the first place, didn't just drive...

Here is a recent service bulletin that just came out a few days ago, TSB 06-23-08 FORD: 2005-2006 Ford GT This article supersedes TSB 05-10-13 to update the Service Procedure and vehicle model years. ISSUE: Some 2005-2006 Ford GT vehicles may exhibit a transaxle oil leak at the transaxle...

Stefan, maybe the shoes you are wearing are a bit heavy. Try some lighter driving shoes maybe. :wink

Spoke to a nice fellow at Whipple yesterday and HE said that the stock throttle body is fine for up to 19 psi. They have left the stock TB on cars that are doing their blower replacement so far, unless a change is requested. So maybe you can use that $630 elsewhere. The X-pipe is a good idea...

How much is the fine if you don't have a plate? Over here some drivers have been issued a citation where they have to show up at the police dept. and prove the plate is affixed to the front end, which is a sumbitch to get around for many exotic owners. But if you don't have to appear I would...

Cycler, this was posted on another thread the other day. http://www.fordgtforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3152&page=6&pp=10 Dunno if it's a hoax or just a helluva good idea!

Yes, I believe Mr. Cluxton has it now, as covered in the B-J news release linked above. He also owns GT #1075, the most famous of all. That's one fella I have to meet someday.

web search of the serial number turned this up - http://www.barrett-jackson.com/about/pressreleases/bj06_CarrollShelbyPersonalCobra.asp 800HP in 1966. Not too shabby. Gotta love Google power. another link - it was once black http://www.nvsaac.com/gallery/cobra4.htm

Excellent info - thanks. I have the original car story lost in storage somewhere so I can't refer to it; someone out there probably has it in their magazine collection and may want to scan the article(s) on the cars for others to see. Quite an awesome car and a rare opportunity for a special...

There were two of these 427 cars built; one for Caroll Shelby (CSX3015), the other for Bill Cosby (CSX 3303). They have two Paxton Superchargers on the motor; I believe the old Motor Trend article stated something about 650 HP or thereabouts. This one pictured at the link below was Carroll...

That Bruce McLaren piece was priceless. Too bad he died so young, a great loss.

I guess that explains why the faster I go the less my headlights seem to work. So at least that part of your theory is plausible. On the other matter, I defer to Perfesser Neil on matters of quantum physics, for two reasons; (1) his car is red, therefore he MUST be right, and (2) I am working...

The Whipple installation in Awsum's car is drop-dead gorgeous, for sure. And the 750 HP output in Bony's car is awesome indeed. But there's no real chance of having your car taken off the road for having those mods is there? That would never happen around here anyway.
