I find it interesting that so many of the early images are of stripe free cars. Old Shelby's virtually always had hood and side stripes. I saw a 67 GT500 without either and it was a rare beast. I wonder if the popularity of the GTs w/o stripes has caused Ford to consider the current cars status?

The only original Shelbys that came with over the top "LeMans" stripes were 65'-66'. Everything after that was owner added

But weren't those top stripes unlike the Lemans stripes? 2 little skinny dudes way out at the sides?
I don't want to get in big argument over stripes. :cheers I guess I always believed they all came with stripes until I was informed most were added after the fact.
70's are awesome by the way. I love them all but 68's. Just can't get past the nose fiberglass on those.

I agree with everybody. Love the top stripes and the side stripes. Don't care much for the '68 nose either. I do understand the desire to breakaway, just a bit, for the new car. However, on a positive note. I have a VIN# and a build date for the 2015 GT350. 7/20 Can't wait!!

I have a 1968 GT 350. White with blue side stripes only. BTW, 68 has always been my favorite year.

IIRIC, only the Track Pack and R cars have the coolers because they are track-focused cars; while the Base 350 and Tech Package are for those who will never track their cars; and will never need the benefits of the cooler.
If you plan on tracking your car at all (and are beyond the abilities of an amateur); get the Track Package or an R.

Call Rick Boyer or Phillip Snapp? I can think of a lot of things to call them.
Since you are car salesmen, maybe you should think about building your customer base. Oh snap, I forgot, you don't have any.

The pig is appropriate.
