Disney Parks Blog announced that Rise of the Resistance will open at Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, on Thursday, December 5. That date has a special meaning, too. Not only will the expansive, immersive ride be ready for all of those Disney World Christmas travelers, December 5 also marks the 118th birthday of the man behind the mouse, Walt Disney. Rise of the Resistance will then open at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, on Friday, January 17, 2020. |

the 1965 and 1966 Shelby GT350s used special large rear drum brakes that Ford used on station wagons: 10" x 2.5" only with metallic lining. The front were 9.5" Kelsey Hayes Disc - same as available on any Mustang. |

You can see why neither power brakes nor power steering were available on the 1969 440 GTS Dart. |

In the Trans-Am Series, teams would "acid dip" the race cars to etch away metal, thus making the car lighter which was against SCCA rules. At Laguna Seca, the first race of the season (April 1970), the Challenger team was last in line for technical inspection. Since all the factories were participating in 1970, the first inspection of the year was highly detailed. After the Challenger had passed tech inspection and was accepted, the team offered John Taminus, the Chief Technical Inspector, a beer. John rested his elbow on the roof of the car and it dimpled in (from too much time in the acid bath). When that happened, he told them that they could not run the car until the roof was replaced. Within an hour of that incident, the Challenger team had received permission from Dodge and torched the roof off a brand new Challenger that was sitting on a dealer's showroom floor in downtown Monterey. Here is a period photo of the #77 Challenger T/A at that first race at Laguna Seca with it's "new" roof. |

http://s26.postimg.cc/cj8d8d84p/image.jpg This one has a 383. The 1969 GTS came standard with the 340. The 383 weighs 620 lbs while the 340 weighs 525. Just a note - the 440 weighs 670 lbs. |

The first 2074 (+/-) 1969 Shelby GT Mustangs had E70x15 Large RWL tires (used on the 1968 models). Ford switched to the Boss 302 heavy duty front spindles and bearings which Ford deemed, for safety purposes, necessary to be able to handle the extra stress F60x15 RWL Polyglas tires would place on the front suspension. A total of 3294 1969 Shelby GTs were made of which 789 were remade into 1970 models. That means only 431 1969 Shelby GTs were made with F60x15 Polyglas GT RWL tires. Yet when you see 1969 Shelby GT Mustangs they almost always have the F60x15 tires. https://i.postimg.cc/kXV0fRZf/shelby-gt350-24.jpg All of the 1970 Shelby GTs would have the F60x15 Polyglas GT RWL tires as they are all later build leftover 1969s which had the Boss 302 spindles and bearings |

The difference between a 1969 and 1970 Shelby GT door mounted data plate. 1969 is on the left, 1970 on the right. Notice there is no build date on the 1970. |

Beginning with the 1969 Firebird Trans Am, Power Steering was standard. One of the very few muscle cars to have this option as a standard feature. |

NHRA Top Fuel dragster or Funny Car, the statistics alone are mind-boggling: 11,000 horsepower, zero to 100 mph in well under one second, and for us, the most fascinating spec of all: At peak torque, the engine consumes one gallon of fuel every three-quarters of a second. That’s more than a jumbo jet airliner. |
