    Thanks for posting that link! I knew about the 11 1966 models built but not the ones in 1965. One of the eleven 66 cars was Ivy Green (paint code R) like my coupe. I considered putting “GT350S” rocker stripes on mine like the original Paxton cars but decided against it. These 2 cars should pull serious money - especially the 65.

    Normally I tune out those auctions, but some of these I just had to see. He turned almost $9M from his Shelby collection. Never saw an air conditioned 66 GT350 convertible! But they made 4 of them, two automatics and two 4-sp cars according to the description.
