SAAC Forum

The boards that were laying in the trunk in my KR have "FP" stamped into the corner on the grey side. Too fragile to try and install.

I just started watching this show and there looks like many episodes.  So far I've only seen cheby and mopar which the guys seem to like.
Has there been a Ford FE episode comparing parts?

I haven't seen these before.

Friend who was selling his 68 KR with the 69 engine had a bid reduced by 10% when he disclosed the issue to the buyer. Its on its way to Germany. Less then a week to sell.

SOLD FOR $262,589 ON 9/13/21

A friend wants to sell his KR with a 69 CJ engine and he thinks he could get $200k for it. Maybe he will.

My $.02. I never had this problem until converting my 67 and 68 390 cars over to Pertronix II. And it would happen during prolonged cranking like heat soak. I replaced one solenoid with a C7 from Green sales and continued to have the issue. A call to Pertronix said to add a diode in the wire to the 'I' connection on the solenoid. Their comment was the Pertronix connection to +12 v can be feedback to the solenoid and keep it engaged. Put the diode in the 67 and problem never re-accured. But since after heat problem Pertronix coils I've gone back to the points and ol yellow top.

I've heard this a few times lately, phrased like "get your Shelby to Mecum Kissimmee and get $200K+". An acquaintance heard this and now wants to sell his KR. He's rubbing his hands can't wait for January.

Is Mecum really the top place to sell???

I finally found the Shelby accessories ad for the ram air.

Bob, Do you know if the hood scoop was a one off for this or was it used on any other Ford?

Dumb question:  How do the feds find out?

From an Oh BMV friend; the old title is looked at when received in Columbus and the new listed selling price is compared to any previous price on the title or after a certain year(mid 80s) a stored transaction. That data is supposed to be sent to the IRS with whatever address is on there for the seller. When I bought my GTA (76) the seller's name was misspelled on the title and he had moved to SC from Oh. Many years later I asked him about this and he never got anything from the gov. My take is the bmv does the 'best it can' on sending data on. Think about how many car transfers happen everyday.

I watched on youtube two videos from Dennis (search "Dennis Collins 66 Shelby GT350H") on how to know a 66GT350H he found is real and then getting it running. He has progressed from jeeps.

He would put the car on a barge and with a rope in his mouth pull it across a lake.

On the subject of intake gaskets has anyone used the Fel Pro steel laminate gaskets like 1247S3? An engine builder said they tend not to distort when tightening.

Any comments on this show with the announcement of the Blue Lady back on the street.
