It's not a R model, just a 66 Shelby GT350 that has been a race car is entire life. Mid America B production Champion and New York State B production Champion in the for several years in the mid 70's. Fun car but still has drum brakes on the rear, manual steering etc.

Oops -- Sorry I lied.


So did you sign up for Buttonwillow? I can stop on my way down and we can take the '66 and a Busch car....

My buddy Bruce Leven has warned me about Jericos... and that they don't like "deceleration stresses". He's a fan of the Tex transmissions which he runs in his personal vintage race cars.

You can google Bruce Leven - Bayside Disposal Motorsports if you think he doesn't know what he's talking about...

Yep! ..and like you said... it's all about marrying well. She is an attorney after all. She gets to deal with my plethora of legal matters.
