Re: My Uncle's old 66 Hertz Shelby Mustang, COOL S
 

No, a friend of mine was though.. He was in the library when the shooting started.. My Uncle never finished college there. He played football for Kent with Jack Lambert (former Pittsburg Steelers player) he said Jack was a "crazy man".

My friend that was in the library when the shooting started said he hung out/was friends with Joe Walsh (Eagles band member) who went to college there. He said Joe was something else in college. He said he never saw Joe in any classes just "hanging out" around campus. He said he was one hell of a guitar player though and very talented musician. Joe's band the James Gang used to play the college bars down there all the time back in the late sixties, early seventies. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Did your uncle remove the H letter after the GT 350 on the side graphics? I suspect it wasn't cool to advertise it as an ex-rental back in the day...just curious if that was something the owner did or the selling dealership.

That I am not sure of.. He probably did because I know he liked to street race quite a bit!!

Thanks Pat..

I heard back from Mr. Pardee. He said the car was raced at the SAAC high speed events at Lime Rock Park and Michigan International Speedway... How COOL is that!!

This story keeps getting better!

Hopefully the car is still in one piece. It would be great to see it back in your family's hands again.

Could also be that the Hertz Corporation removed the H prior to sale so as to avoid liability once the car(s) went into private ownership? Just a thought.

Re: My Uncle's old 66 Hertz Shelby Mustang, COOL S
 

Yeah your probably right. I thought the "H" stood for HiPo but I guess it might have been for the Hertz Corp. (I'm not a Ford Mustang guy) but that makes sense.. However, the other Hertz emblems were not removed from the car. My Uncle said there was one on the rear of the car near the gas cap.. He said that one was definately on the car... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif
