What is the build date on this sj fastback?

Probably early July '65.

Holy cow! Looking at the quarter window sheet metal work makes my '67 500 tail lamp cut outs look clean in comparison.

Cool. A bit off topic, what have you done to Charlie's 64 1/2 day 1 HP red coupe?

Just some clean up, installed original steel wheels & hubcaps, and driven it!

The engine is ready to go!

Question on the WSW tires:  What brand and size are they?  They look very good.

Question on the WSW tires:  What brand and size are they?  They look very good.

Just to clarify for everyone, the thread is about a '66 Carryover GT350, and that's what the engine is going in.

Someone brought up the HiPo coupe too. To answer your question about the tires, they are 194/75 x 14 Kumho Solus KR21. I don't think they are even made anymore. It's getting tough to find a nice looking 14 inch tire...much less one with a whitewall.

I posted another update last week with more pictures. Click on the link or the  picture below to see more pictures. I will have another update soon as the engine and transmission are now installed!

You are correct. For the Concours Driven cars, the Kumho's are no longer available. Right now the WSW choices are Uniroyal, Hankook, and Toyo. (Of course in addition to the classic car specialty offerings.)

Thanks for the comments.

I just posted some more pictures on the '66 Shelby restoration. It was interesting discovery to find the quarter window interior trim panels from 6S180 in 6S033!
