1966 Shelby GT 350 drag car

I remember reading about those cars years ago and the landfill. I think they traced it to where it was buried and didn't go any farther, right? Not sure if there would be much left than a few crusty and bent frame rails.

Just happened to see this post.

I personally re-restored 6S011. I owned the car in the late 90's and did everything except the paint. Currently as of spring of 2005, to the best of my knowledge, the car is owned by Les Moonves, the president of CBS.

Les Quam....don't you wish you bought it from me when it was cheap? I begged you to buy it.

My current project is the 'Russ Dunmire' 68 Hurst Olds drag car. Yep THAT 68 Hurst olds....

You mean the one that got rolled after it had been sold to a new owner but before it was delivered?

The owner of this car before Colin would drive it to the same gym in Irvine I go to. I use to get a kick out of the owner actually driving the car around.

I think I saw that car around when I lived in Irvine too!

What happened with this build? It's been years since an update has been made.

Fella's! My Father-In-Law found the Shelby GT 350 he worked on when he worked at Harr Ford in a barn, and restored it! The car Gus Zuidema raced.

Cool car! My uncle would like to see that. He mentioned he met Gus back in the days. I'm coming over to help him mount the bumper, fender flares, and winch onto his Silverado tomorrow. I'll see if he still remembers that.

My friends Dad knew Gus very well they were good friends.
Lots of cool stories he told me .
