I'm the original owner of 1967 GT350 # 10. Dark Moss Green. Use mostly for shows, parades and cruises. Ordered 2016 GT 350 on Oct 26, 2015 and am still waiting for a build date Really looking forward to getting it. The wait is kind of like when I got my 67. I had to wait four month for that one too.

That is pretty cool! Would love to see a pic of your 67. Was it just as special back then? Did you know back then that the Shelby's would be so hot?

Welcome Bruce! It should be noted that 67200F5 0010 drove Mark Donohue on a lap at Seattle International Raceway. Any chance we will see 0010 at a SAAC event in the near future?

Doubt I'll be bringing it to a SAAC event soon. Because of mileage, I tend to not take it on long trips and shipping is a bit prohibitive for me. I'd like to bring it but, don't see it happening. I drove Mark Donohue during the parade lap at SIR. He was very personable and interested in the car. He had raced a 65 GT 350 earlier in his career.

Hello Bruce,
The brochure for the 2016 GT350 has a side by side aerial view of the 1965 and the 2016 GT 350s. Do you or a friend have a high step ladder or drone- it would be awesome to see them side by side like the brouchure pic. What color, package did you order for the 2016? (I had a 65 289 convertible that was a beautiful ivy green- the one that got away...) Your dark moss green is where it at ...

Welcome Bruce! It's great having new members here that have been long time GT350 owners

I hadn't thought of a side by side aerial photo. But, will work on that when I get the 16. I now have a build date and VIN. Build date during the week of 22 Feb. It will be white with blue stripes. I wanted the traditional colors on this one.

Thanks. The fact that I still have it is as much a tribute to my late wife as anything I've done. When we needed money, she didn't want me to sell it. Now that I''m nearly 72, I'm thinking its time to put a little more excitement in my life.

Mine is the same with the track pack. I'll be 71 next week. My late wife purchased a 65 fastback...maybe I married her for it. Unfortunately it's long gone.

Wow! Another 71 year old. I hope its not so that these cars are all being bought up by wrinkly old people. My 16 will have the track package also.

No way! I have purchased a new helmet, driving gloves, 4 point harness and signed up for a driving event!
