Subject: RE: Obit: Carroll Shelby... Sniff...
The CHP (California Highway Patrol had those..I remember. Don't remember their stats, but the GT 350, had no power brakes, but racing metallic brake pad linings, no power steering tightened ratio for racing, Koni racing shocks(very stiff) anti-sway stabilizer bar, 7 qt. oil capacity, with a finned pan, for cooling, solid lifters, and 306 hp. oil cooler, and could just about handle better than any American made car on the road...also side scoops to cool the rear brake pads, a scoop on the hood, racing hood pins,..and all stock...well, 'stock' for a Shelby GT 350.

the '67 GT 500, was a little more comfy inside, 428 cid, two Holly 650 cfm quads, and could accelerate so fast, you and the passenger would be pressed back into your seat...you could not even touch the dash, when it was 'taking off'...from being pressed back in the seat!! Had some other goodies, too..but I'm tired, (as I mentioned in the other thread), so I'll keep it short.

Good Night!
