I always liked this logo, found it amongst my papers while sorting things out. It's from Stock Car Racing Magazine, in the mid to late 60's.

Yea, very cool logo!!  I like that

Man, I'd like one time, just to feel an earthquake, not saying that in a bad way, but I'm the kind of person that likes to feel natures power. 

I felt the power of an oncoming hurricane here on the east coast and have been right in floods but at a safe distance and felt the vibration of an oncoming tornado.

I was watching the news just now of the eathquake and a woman sitting by the pool.......HOLY S***!!!   Man, I never knew earthquakes like that.  You see stores and items falling off shelves, bridges collapsing, etc,... But I always thought it was the constant vibrating/shaking that eventually made structures give way.

After watching the swimming pool video, I was floored!!

Can someone save the images from the link in reply No. 2 on this SAAC thread?  That link could disappear and we would lose the image.

I cannot do from work.

Thanks

Cory

Cory, just right click and save the images.  Also, I'd say the photos aren't going anywhere since they're under the IMCDB

OK, it's a Hertz car but what kind of bicycle is that?

Don Wells had the Grand Prix car that Garner drove in the movie. I wonder if he knew that when he owned it?

Can't tell which manufacturer, but it looks like the front forks are shock absorbed

                                                     

Lol, you guys impress me with the information and photos and especially your memories and how you find all the photos and compare to other photos to nail down locations.

Keep the info rolling

Great information Dan.

As a past Toolmaker/Machinist, I worked in defense for the Naval shipyard out of Newport News VA. Made parts for carriers and subs.  In the early 80's we had tons of overhaul work as well. Tolerances in tools/molds/machining, were kept tight and checked like clock work. 

So I understand exactly what you're explaining and sure that most here will read and understand as well about molded piece parts and how dies and molds, when not kept up to tolerances, will not produce identical parts over time/usage.

Also, super information about early Cobras and parts.

I never worked in injection molding, only worked in metal stamping/punching metal parts in dies.

And, as you know, the dies/molds will wear out and need some rebuilding/modifications/grinding to continue production, and there's where you lose the effect of piece parts being totally identical, which will never happen over a period of time.

I was a tool maker and machinist all my life and you are exactly right from one manufacturer to another.

Very well said....

Well like Dan mentioned, quality control was loosely monitored if at all. May be the slight differences we see. JMO

Actually I think it is. They're 2 eBay ads for shift knobs. One sold for $180 and one for sale at $150.

Dan, is that the 1/2-20 thread size?

Thanks

I have a 428CJ intake C8OE-9425-A manifold with what looks like a 8C22 date?

$1250 here.

SOLD

I need to get another cup of coffee!  I can't find a '67 Mustang or any Shelby parts.  What am I missing?

Craig R.

LOL

Are you excited?
