1967 D.S.O. Sheets

Guys,
Spreadsheet has been updated and posted to my website. To date we have compiled the data on eight (8) sheets and have reports of two (2) others (84-2608 and 84-2632). Two of the sheets apparently do not list interior colors (84-2596 and 84-2602). One (1) special order paint car is listed (89-2609). I've also taken a guess at the paint code for Medium Metallic Gray based on the Ford Master Parts Catalog. This was Shelby paint code 6 (can't say that I've ever seen one). Can anyone verify that that the part number should be M32J 1901?

Some questions to consider:
1) Is there any correlation of the scheduled date on the D.S.O. sheet and the scheduled build date on the Vehicle Order Image that Marti Autoworks provides?
2) What is the correlation (if any) between the D.S.O. number on the sheets and the Vehicle Order Image for a particular car?
3) Is the right kind of information on the D.S.O. sheet to be able to reconstruct a "build" sheet for a specific car provided that car can be traced to a specific D.S.O. sheet?

 

Coralsnake,

Not sure what's going on here, I just tested the link and it worked for me. Could you try it again? Thanks.

 

R.D.,

Can't find silver mink in the Ford Master Parts Catalog. The closest was Platinum, letter code N. Could this be what you are referring to?

Sorry about the spelling, should have been using spell check. Errors now corrected.

Thanks for the kind words. However, this is what you get when you deal with an engineer.

 

9/2/2007 Update

Just added another number to the list, 84-2536. This is our first D.S.O sheet with parchment interior. Still missing a bit of information on this one. Thank you Vic for sending this in.

The spread sheet has been updated and the columns now total correctly. Missing information is high-lighted in yellow. D.S.O. numbers that have missing information are: 84-2536 (transmission), 84-2596 (interior color), 84-2608 (everything), 84-2613 (scheduled date), and 84-2632 (everything except total units). Total units now listed are 813 or a bit over 25%. Most of the cars are G.T.500s, almost by 10:1.

If anyone has any information or can fill in the gaps, please post or email me. Even if you think the D.S.O. sheet you have has been listed, please take another look and see if it one that has missing information from our spreadsheet. I'd also appreciate any scans you can send me of the sheets in your possession. The link to the spreadsheet is: http://www.s-techent.com/DSO1967.htm. There is a link off that page to fill out a form if you'd like to send me the information that way.

FYI, Dave Mathews is working a similar project, but says it is too early to disseminate anything yet. I'll keep everyone posted as to any progress I learn about.

 

Thanks Coralsnake. Spreadsheet updated with that bit of information. Could it be that the scheduled date is the same as 2609? That has the same date as 2613. Just a thought. Snakepit had the same trouble reading his copy. Any chance you could send a high quality scan and let me take a look at it? Thanks.

Snakepit,
Could you check the dates for 84-2596? I have the date listed as 4/25/1967 and the scheduled date as 4/19/967. Did I get these backwards? Thanks.

 

Patty,

Thanks for spotting those omissions. As you are probably aware, it is almost impossible to proof read your own work. That's why in my line of work, everything gets reviewed by someone else. The spreadsheet has been corrected (I hope) and reposted.

I received the following from Dave Mathews when I asked him about D.S.O. sheets [edited by myself]:

My DSO project is well on it's way. We really need
to figure a way to connect the individual cars to the
DSO. I am running my add again in the Snakebite.
There are a lot of DSO batches. I estimate around 100.
Some with as few as one car. Once again, I will
definitely share my efforts with every owner and
enthusiast when I get further along. I still have a
ways to go before I can release what has been put
together for the project. It is my goal to have the
complete DSO listing included in the next Registry.

OK, Dave needs every 1967 Shelby owner who knows his D.S.O. number to send it to him. His ad in the Snakebite reads like this:

Wanted by the 67 Registrar: 67 Shelby owners who know
their DSO numbers of their cars. It appears on some
paperwork& the Marti Report. We don't need Ford VINs
or anything else, just the Shelby VIN & DSO.

I've not received any more data lately and am afraid that this well has dried up. The project is at a standstill until more data comes in. If anyone out there knows of anyone that can help locate these elusive sheets, please send them my way or post ideas to this forum of where to look. Scans of the documents would be nice as well. I'd eventually like to have an archive (maybe on this forum?) where we can store all of the sheet we have found. Anymore thoughts or ideas? Again, thanks to all who've helped.

 

Shelboss,

Didn't have that one (84-2571). Thanks. For those of you who don't know, Shelboss has a very interesting car, a BOSS 302 powered G.T.350 with an Autolite Inline carburetor. Mustangs and Fords did an article on it. Check it out at http://www.mustangandfords.com/mufp_0609_1967_shelby_mustang_gt350/.

The new information has been incorporated into the spreadsheet. This is the largest order we've seen, 280 cars. R.D. here are some of the G.T.350s you were wondering about. We've now accounted for just over a third of the cars. Spreadsheet link is http://www.s-techent.com/DSO1967.htm.


Snakepit,

Maybe I asked this before. Does D.S.O. sheet 84-2596 list an interior color? Thanks.
