Roy thanks for the effort

Unless the car was the only built in that order group... no the DSO would be shared between all the cars in that group. Other special order groups (police cars, buses, promotions) were done this same way. And no it would not be any tie-tie in between the Ford VIN and Shelby VIN.

It would be a way to reunite car owners with copies of their groups add-delete sheets

Keep up the collecting.

Hi again folks! A few corrections once again minor details but they affect the overall totals.Under the 211 build of 33 units you have 33 in both the transmission columns--these were all automatics.The comments by Snakepit are accurate and the order system is still similar today.Fleets and any vehicles built with or to the same specs.The sheets are the vehicle build on paper,and the total number that were actually built could be different.This is shown on each Marti report as one of _____ statistic.Roy you are doing a great job!! Thanks to everyone who has contributed.

 

Hi Roy, I have a vehicle invoice # 2605 and a customer order # 4205 listed on the original invoice to the dealer for my car. Doing the math to get from my invoice to yours, there are 358 cars. If mine were mid run and yours were mid run, it would fall close so I think the Shelby vehicle invoice number is the same as the DSO order number you refer to.

Hi to Roy and all on this thread.I was reading the registry and found another piece to this puzzle.On page 699 it shows 67200F5 0010 as an original owner in Washington and it gives the door data plate information.The dso is 842505 and the interior trim code is 6A the date code is 28J This car was not completed or sold until after the new year,yet it was built by ford (or scheduled to be built in sept. of 1966.More proof that things were done by Shelby by date or ?? rather than by number.This also looks like the same batch as Randy's car 0031. One more statistic--if you look up all the G.T. 350 cars,less than 100 came with A/C. Keep it cool! P.D.

 

To elaborate on the last post when talking with Dave Mathews years ago about #0001 it came to light that althought it was the first Shelby production car built in 67 there were other cars with ford Vins that had lower sequential numbers then #0001 which supports the idea that the cars were pulled in off the lot in no particular order. There of course were many other instances of this same thing throughout 67 production. I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happens out in Vegas right now with the new Shelby GT.

 

Hi again to Roy and all. I am currently contacting Kevin Marti and i will include this in my list of questions.I get the idea that you are on the right path,but we need to know the correct answer from someone that can explain it properly.We do know that these cars were built much like any fleet,and that shelby was assigned a customer dso of 84_____ Ford must have a good system,or they would not be able to produce as many cars and get them to the proper dealer or contracter in time to be completed.Just imagine keeping track of over 472,000!! and that was over 40 years ago,with Mustangs..now add in Cougar and wow the line must have been singing!!

 

Hi again to all on this topic.
Roy,you have a great idea on the burner,but it is very complex and really will lead to more of the engineering side of the build.Lets try to stay on the DSO subject and completely sort it out.Hopefully I will get live with the folks in AZ. and they can help.In the Mustang by the numbers book,it lists the DSO code as does a shop manual.The total number for DSO 84 is 1841 with 1790 of those produced as fastbacks.84 translates to home office reserve.Most of your list has 84 as a prefix,but 89 is also used,and this would bring up the totals and they would make more sense..we know over 3000 fastbacks were converted to shelbys.I also wonder how Dave Matthews is progressing,and maybe we could work with him??Keep up the enthusiasim and see what happens P.D.

 

I have a copy of 84-2596.
It lists Trim Black 5A in the vehicle spec section.
It also lists as a delete trim components: 7392101 Black

Can we assume black?

 

I think this is still a great subject and one I know Dave and others is working on.

Some thoughts here:

I have a copy of DSO 89-2609 which I will send to Roy, I gave him the basics for his spreadsheet last fall. It has 121 GT500's including one special paint Burgundy car.

This DSO came with my document book from a previous owner, however it is not correct for my car. I had package 411F, Auto/Air and oil cooler. This DSO is for 121 non-air cars.

My DSO item number on my production sheet is 2501. If you look at the corresponding dates of the DSO's this would put my car as being produced in 1966 according to the dates with the DSO's. My car was built 5/16/67 and was 1 of 10 White AC/Auto Cars made. Only 5 white AC cars show up so far.

So going back to the DSO item# question, the date of DSO sheet #2501 would not correspond to my build date. MY DSO sheet is most likely between 2614-2432 based on my build date and the dates listed with those DSO's. It's not hard to narrow down when there only 10 made.
