Trivia for today

Thought I'd try to start something different that hopefully everyone can enjoy, Mustang Trivia. I'll try to post a trivia question every day. Answer will be posted that evening.
First one: What item was unique to the (approx.) first 200 1967 Shelby Mustangs and was not seen on any Mustang before or since?

Can't be. The 1994 and 1995 Mustangs had functional side vents (scoops) that exhausted air to the rear brakes.

"After working out production issues, Goodell visited the California Department of Motor Vehicles to see if the modifications would pass inspection. The state had issues with the running lights on the side near the top scoops and a real problem with the distance between the lights in the grille. Back at Shelby American he stopped the addition of the side lights , after 200 cars had gotten them. And he got the designers to work on a new grille moving the high beam lights further apart. He made sure the earlier cars were shipped outside California. Most cars with the letter "Z" preceding the serial number came with the outboard driving light."

The correct answer is: The round lights mounted at the rear of the rear sail panel scoops, the general reason given is that the wiring was a problem as was the supply. Congrats to '69mach'.
I hope you though this a good idea as I would like to continue this as something 'extra'. You thoughts would be appreciated. Oh, and Frank, the GT-500 that years had a 428 8V engine.:THUMBSUP:

oh well,
I do remember the addition of the lights but didn't know that it was only temporary.
There was functional ducts that were cut early in the production. I just forgot about the 94/95's having them too...

Other Shelby's had funtional ducts as well, in addition to the '94/'95 ducts. Stay tuned for the next one, it should be a doozy.

It is brung!:LAUGH:
For today:Larry Shinoda is famous for the graphics put on the Boss 302 Mustang. When designing the 1969 Boss 302, what 2 exterior pieces/trim items did he do away with on all production Boss 302s for1969. These are items found on all 1969 fastbacks and Mach 1's, but did not appear on '70's at all. (PS, I am not going to get so minute as to get into wiring conectors, lug nut variations, etc. This is for fun. Warning, tomorrow will be Cobra stuff, you have been warned!) Good luck, and may the force be with you.

Wasn't it the scoops and spoilers, I think he didn't want anything on the car that wasn't functional....

Does '69mach' have his choice in colors for his new mach, or does he have to accept what ever color your mach is in?

Does the "s" in scoops make it 2 items, or are we still looking for something?

69mach makes it a good run. The quarter panel scoops were deleted because Shinoda didn't want anything non-functional messing up the looks of the car, which brings us to the second item...the sail panel 'horse' emblems. I've found most people don't notice this deletion, but it happened.
Since I won't be around on Sat. night, I'm gonna put up a really good one that'll be answered on Sunday. Hint: Shelby, fire, bunnies...

Not Mustang

I know this isn't quite a Mustang question, but it does relate to Ford Performance...so put on your thinking caps!:THUMBSUP:
Question: How many Cobra Daytona Coupes were built, and how many are in existance today? This does not mean kits, replicas or the incredibly ugly Daytona Super Coupe.
Bonus: What recent suspect in a high profile murder case owned a Daytona? And what do 2 incidents of fire and bunnies have to do with the car owned by the same person?
Have fun...answers Sunday!

I don't know about the numbers. The famous person/murder case is Phil Spector the record producer. The fire and bunnies is Donna O'harra (sp?) who took her rabbits under a bridge and burnt herself to death. I believe that the car is now tied up in law suits over ownership.

Todd

I think that there were six built but I don't know how many remain.

:THUMBSUP: Todd! Right on all. The Daytona owned by both of them (not at the same time, but that lawsuit was finally settled) also caught fire in it's intial race at the Daytona Continental (now the Rolex 24hrs. of Daytona). There were a total of 6 Daytona's built. All are accounted for, the O'Hara car only coming to light after her death and subsequent scramble that ensued.

The first year of the Mustang II, 1974. Base engine was 140-cid (2.3-liter) 2-bbl four with the 171-cid (2.8-liter) 2-bbl V6 as an option.

Yes, 1974...a less than stellar year for Mustang performance.
