Thanks Bruce, I must have missed that on my Shelby search on Facebook. I did join another site and posted it there too. However, right now I cannot seem to get on Facebook on my PC or phone. Maybe they put me in jail again.

65's have painted stripes and vinyl GT350

Looks like you've got a 66

The 65 had painted stripe but the gt350 was vinyl,66 was all vinyl. Judging from date code appears 66. Also see where the 289 emblem has welded holes chances are painted like gt350.

Bruce. I’m sitting in my office here at the Ford Rouge Complex with a pick of my uncle who was a paint supervisor for the pony’s here in Dearborn . I understand that D3 does stand for Dearborn 3rd shift. Hope this helps. Cool wall art. I got to work for Carroll during the Series 1 days. Good times.
