gabriel was the vendor for Ford ,  they never had Gabriel logos  only autoliote script

I have a mint set of original,  in saddle.  they were all painted if I recall

PM sent

Mr Alan Bolte enjoying the view?

needs to get a ground floor room with window and she can get  chair and talk through the window

anyone have any suggestion on products to help mount some original pretty stiff Goodyears on original steel wheels.  would hate to tear one

BTW   I make the complet 65 exhaust system ,   I have the headers metal ceramic coated  satin black .    the rest of the system  I leave bare metal as they have to be fit to the car and welded at thefront flange.  thats really the only way you can get them level  and parallel.  especially since there are so many  brands of headers made and they are all different except mine which are made in a solid fixture

when i got my first 65  back when they were 2 grand  i started looking at crs that were original  like at the first Dearborn convention  and the one at Mickey Rooneys motel in PA.  that was many years ago . what Im gettingat is the side pipes.  on original cars ivenever seen  any sustems other tha black. Like Bob said,  having a rusty outlet pipe wouldnt look good  I bought an original owner car  in the 80s Elderley Ldy) that had never been back to the dealership and it was black as well. car was always serviced by her maintenance man at her estate.  Her husband had an AM  DB5.   i have seen pics of the side pipes angle cut but most Ive seen had straight cut so  we will accept either at SAAC Concours judging

Im a crown royal man when I imbibe myself

Ive pulled apart many 65/66 GT350s that the rear metallic shoes had virtually no wear  so most bias on the from t brakes

did anyone here buy these .  If so please contact me  thanks  jim

couple of Lemans USRRC cars  2136   2137    and sebring  2127

A lot of details on the carb that are missed by some of the rebuilders...

The carb has a "S" stamping under the "3259" stamping.  I have not seen before.  Does anyone know what the "S" means.  Maybe Service part?

Also, can some post an image of the carb?  I am not able to do from my work computer.

Thanks

I though it was a dollar sign   -  4K ?
