There's nothing cooler than vintage photos, and these are just awesome! A friend of ours, Bob Garland, recently shared some photos that he took at the Bristol Spring Nationals in June of 1965.

At first, we were going to just share the Mustang ones, but they are all so darn good, we decided to share them all.

Bob also shared the story of how he drove down to the race and slept in his 1965 Mustang fastback. He also mentioned that he's pretty sure that he didn't get too much sleep!!

Check out the images of the A/FX Mustangs with the 427 SOHC engines that were campaigned and sponsored by Al Swenson Ford and Tasca Ford, Honest Charley by the "Honest Charley" lettered 1965 Mustang fastback pictured with John Holman, the Phil Bonner Mustang, Hemi Under Glass, Jack Chrisman Comet, Richard Petty (yeah, he was drag racing!!), and more!

Enjoy, and thanks to Bob for sharing these incredible pictures!!

Just the Details...1966 Shelby Mustang GT350 Restoration 6S933

1966 GT350 Shelby SFM6S933. Sapphire Blue.

Jeremy at Maple Hill Restorations has produced some very, very nice work over the years. Most of that work has been featured here on our Blog. This 1966 Shelby is definitely one of our favorites! It is an absolutely stunning restoration.

If you regularly read or subscribe to our Blog, you have seen this car featured. Today, we wanted to share a few photos of the completed car.

This is 1966 Shelby GT350 SFM 6S933. It was refinished in its original color, Sapphire Blue. The car never received the popular twin white LeMans stripes across the top, and we think it looks fantastic this way!

This GT350 features its original drivetrain along with all five original ten spoke wheels as listed on the original window sticker.

The new owner is from Virginia and will be showing the car at several venues this year. Hopefully you can see it in person!

Enjoy the photos!
