I agree; the look, sound, and performance make it a fun car to drive.  I also like the manual steering and smaller size compared to my 1967 GT-350. 

All very good reasons...

...Mike did you ask Dave Mathews too?

Does that tag read car #2450?

... a mold for (twin or European wide style) headlight covers?  Just a thought...

(Wasn't there a Zagato bodied Mustang ?)

... some dealers sell cars as correct and survivors'  and have this mistake so clearly visible? Go to any car auction, Ebay, Hemmings, EVERYWHERE and you will most likely see examples of the same thing. Some deceive on purpose , some rely on others wrong info and still others don't know what they don't know. Sorry to ruin Christmas. ::)

   You have to study the evidence.  Which would mean that you look at it and take photos of the area with the paint off.  Where are the holes located?
  Of course there will be those who will state that, after fifty plus years, who is to say if the holes where not filled and re-drilled long ago.   ...

^^^ yes,

Bob - best wishes for you two as you move forward!

Is it my understanding that I could not enter a car in division 2 with a color change. Or just gold?

See this thread and note the last paragraph of the first page, opening post...

(Just trying to help answer the question, not telling anyone what to do - that is entirely your choice!)

http://www.saacforum.com/index.php?topic=5278.0

"...  Thus,  this is where we are now on color changes.  We are of the concensus that the color of the car when it left the factory is very, very important . Going forward ,  A car that is Color changed entered in SAAC Premiere  (D1)  will not be allowed to be judged period!  It will be be downgraded to SAAC Concours! However in SAAC Concourse (D2)   a color change will be allowed to be judged as long as its a color that was available for that year car!  BUT  that car will not be eligible for a gold award at all and will basicly start  as a Silver and go from there. 
   
    We feel this rule is one that will help SAAC protect the integrity of the Marque and SAAC Judging..."

I think, IIRC - others will know better, one is the back-up lights and the other is the engine feed to the coil/water temp/oil pressure?  Been too long ...should be in the service manual in the wiring diagrams in the back.

I’m trying to see where the backup wire Switch goes into the car for a 4 speed.  In the Wiring assembly Manual it shows it going over the trans. Up to the firewall and going in somewhere in the middle. Is that correct?  As noted in earlier post have aftermarket firewall so had to add a couple of holes that were not there. I thought there was a hole right by the shifter. Tony

Not sure if this is what you're asking, but IIRC the wires/connector plugs into this bundle (square connector?) coming through the firewall here kinda above the gas pedal...

I use a laptop (PC) for getting on the internet (have MAC towers for work and have Photoshop for "real" image editing) it comes with a program called "Paint" which is a very basic image editing program that will rotate, size and let you add text, shapes lines, arrows in color to an image file.

I just save the file to a drive and then open it in Paint rotate it, I usually just add an "R" at the end, save it and repost it.

There maybe some equivalent type program on the MacBook?  Maybe open the file in that program rotate it 90 degrees and resave with a added letter on the end and see if that works?

(I think "JD" seems to work most days)

I think the judges are still looking for 12,3,6,9 (or N,E,S,W), many cars although restored are not necessarily correct. 

It seems many have had the plates relocated at some point in time and when restored (again?) they go back in the last holes or only holes visible.

(arrow is showing pin orientation)

Here it is...

(maybe I should change my "handle" seems so many are lately, must be fashionable??)

^^ looks like a 1972 Ohio license plate

I think Jeff Speegle has post a few in the past...

Here it is, (I get that mag too)
