1967 D.S.O. Sheets

Big Al,....I mean snakeman, you need to slow down on those beers, and all of the fiberfab rants........lol

 

Mtrain- Bring your "Caboose" on in here, I assume you have alredy coupled up your other cars, Welcome to the Forum. Let's get moving before we get rear-ended. All-Board!!! Next Stop; Birmingham Bottoms-up

 

Hi all this is possibly more proof,that if Shelby had no pattern or even method of keeping track it is very difficult for us to put an exact number on the cut off/change date things occured.Just to let you know..Bob and the rest of us are going by what we see during a show or convention..that still leaves lots of unanswered and unknown cars.I can think of the convention in 88 that helped me prove the Z had nothing to do with type of lights..we would need an accurate method and so far that has not happened...more on this later.
Regards P.D. (Both of my cars are inboards)

 

What numbers are your cars?

 

Hi to Roy and all,
The newest registry has info overload!!
I have now info on DSO 2505 and others....best if I just call you because it will take forever to type.This will fill in the blanks and explain a few things.
Roy please send a pm with a good time/number to phone you so we can discuss this.Currently on snow detail but I will check back in a few hours.
Thanks P.D.

 

Roy:

Good to speak with you this week and great work on your part for doing all of this. Thank you for adding my car's information to your DSO charts. Let me know if you will need anything else.

John

 

Amazing Job Roy!!!! You obviously have spent a lot of your personal time on this Huge Project... Thank you!!

Shelby #3000 had the original D.S.O. sheet under the carpet. DSO # 89-2604. It is truly a Great piece of History to have with a Shelby.

I reviewed DSO #89-2604 info on your web site. You nailed it!

Great job!

Jim

Just wondering if anyone provided a copy of Add/Delete Sheets for DSO 84-2538? My car is from this lot and totalled 61 cars. All the cars had thermactor/smog but to my surprise only 27 went to Calif dealers (emissions required) with a fair amount to Colorado also. It appears- extracting data from the registry- that most of these Smog cars (84-2538) went to non-smog states at the time- Arizona, Florida, Illinois, New York and and even Puerto Rico to name a few. Anyway if any reader has a copy of the add/deletes for this group I'd like to get a copy?

Dave,In many cases the cars were not built for specific dealers or customers but built on speculation that a certain combination would be needed. These spec cars were sent initially to holding lots and when a dealer order came through inventory was checked and the appropriate car was sent . The smog may not have been a consideration if a particular color and or equipment was the priority. I have heard numerious stories of original owners settling for what came in because they did not want to wait for another car. On more then one occasion the car was a completely different color then what was expected. This scenario would explain why and how smog equipped cars would find themselves delivered to non smog states. I haven't done the research but I would not be surprised if some non smog cars found themselves sent to smog states too .

 

Thanks Bob- I was just alittle surprised at the results. I assumed that cost would have driven a more efficient distribution system and that the more expensive smog equiped cars would have been shipped/allocated to states where the equipment was needed. My limited research- just using the registry- is that some 466 GT-500's came with thermactor smog yet I counted only 321 that went to Calif. What other states had emissions laws in 1967? I suspect Colorado (anybody know) as many of these smog cars went there also.
Maybe this partially explains why Morrisons' #939 (smog car) first went to Illinois in June 67 and then back to Calif for sale in late Sept 67? The irony there is the fact that my car #636- nightmist blue/parchment/4speed- identical in everyway to his "blue lady" other than the wheels (hub caps versus magstars) was sitting in the Pico Rivera inventory lot-just 20 miles away. My car #636 was completed in April 67 and not shipped to Stockton Quincy Ford until 10/2. Morrison car was bought 9/29 at that same dealer and it was shipped 2,000 miles at that.

Great do the job men! if the tally is exact up to now 493 Gary. Capital t. 500 cars tend to be accounted pertaining to. beyond 2048 produced that may be almost 1/4 with the production windowpane!! right now where tend to be any/all the actual Gary. Capital t. 350 gambling?

 

I know this is a really old post, but I’m trying to gather all the ’67 Shelby SVO sheets for each DSO group. Several of them listed in this thread are on my “wanted” list. If you can share a copy please let me know. Below is the list I have complete sets of for these SVO "Add / Delete" sheets for DSOs;

84-2555 (great legible copy)

84-2590 (could use better copy as it is difficult to read & missing last page #8)
84-2591 (could use better copy of first page)
84-2596 (good copy)
89-2606 (dark copy – could us better copy of page 1)
89-2608 (heavily marked – could us better copy of page 1)
