Car of the Weekend: 1966 GT-350 Shelby Mustang

[mongooz]

[because of the car....i just had to do a weekend car]

Tony Dreier doesn’t mind driving his fabulous 1966 GT-350 Shelby Mustang around and having some fun with it. He actually drove it regularly for years before he restored it.

But Dreier jokes that “I try not to have it out of my sight too long,” and you can’t really blame him. He isn’t paranoid or overly protective, it’s just that his Shelby has a bit of a star-crossed past. It was apparently stolen several times during its early days. It’s been chased, shot at, kidnapped, repainted, recovered and eventually banished to a salvage yard. Dreier, a resident of Clintonville, Wis., doesn’t expect the Mustang to ever go missing again while he still has the title, but you never know.

Nice! That’s a Cobra tack on the dash. Heck of a story too.

You know, there are really any rules to reposting old car weekly pages

Anyhow I know a fellow that’s got one of these and a pair of GT 500s, all three factory original, that were parked up in a barn one day in the mid -70s and sit to this day. So many folks that know of their existence have gone cash in hand to buy one or all and the dude had no interest in selling.

what rules are you talking about?
i took over the car of the week thread from Mark years ago.
what's the problem??

What is the problem?

"You know, there are really any rules to reposting old car weekly pages"

your words......???

Right, so there is no problem

I think it should have said “there aren’t really any rules”.
Because they’re aren’t.

Of course there are no rules….it’s kinda hilarious there’s more posts on this than the actual cars. Carry on

The point (I think) is that you typo’d in your initial reply and it comes across the wrong way.

A simple, “oh shit! That’s a typo” goes a long way.

it was a typo but then it was even funnier to imply there actually are rules…. and here we still are.
