Couldn't find a thread specific to replica & Tribute Ford Gt's. This is Sweden late '70s maybe '80s.

Wouldn't want to transport that body shell like that 

Any ideas ?

Mike

He's hoping to improve the Aero-Dynamics on that boxy Volvo Wagon.

I understand 67 GT350.  I like the looks of the Hubcaps on a 68 better than the 10 Spokes BUT, If were to spend $6,500 on those, I would be scared I might Ding them trying to Install them.  Get a nice set for $400 or less, Polish them up and cruise.  Don't see the Dings at 55MPH.

I thought you just had to change out the Seals to convert it and NOT any of the Components.

Still no signs of this machine. I would have thought it would have had a tracer on it

I thought Hertz did put GPS Tracking on their Cars because I am always reading where Hertz filed Auto Theft Charges on people who didn't bring their Rentals back on time.  Several were tracked to Restaurants.

I didn't even know this was a thing in 1989 The Shelby Dakota truck

Did you know about the Shelby SP 360 Durango's?

There is no argument about the Super Snake getting the "lightweight 427" but I'm not sure that it is documented that the other two did also?

There was a '67 427 available for the Fairlane. It was a MR, had 2-4's and iron heads.
There IS a special iron exhaust manifold for them and as expected, is referred to as the 427 Fairlane manifold.

The '67 427 R's would have come as a crate engine with those manifolds.

Never having attempted to install them in a Mustang I can't say if they fit or not but in the past I spoke to George Porubski about that and he said that they can fit but require some grinding.

Considering that the three Shelby cars were intended for racing, it's most likely that SS type tube headers were built on the cars.

I haven't seen specific reference to them or any pictures and know of no one who has ever.

I'm not sure when the first aftermarket bolt on Mustang FE headers appeared but it isn't a stretch to say, right around this time.

It is entirely possible that the Hooker 2-1/8" primary "Competition" headers with the front four tubes in front of the cross member and the slip tubes were the first to appear. FE Mustangs were showing up at the drag strips and there was some demand for headers at the time.

The 427 exhaust port bolt pattern is different then the 390 bolt pattern used in Mustang at that time . I doubt that there was a immediate incentive for header companies to tool up production for 390 headers in the new for 67 body style. It would be a stretch to think that there was any monetary incentive to tool up header production for a rare 427 in that Mustang body style. That is why I said a year or so.
I know that there were some by 1969 because I watched some being installed in that year. Regardless the time frame in which the 3 427 cars were built it is safe to say that there wasn't any aftermarket headers available which is why SA had to have them built for any car that they put a 427 in.

Because I am curious, those Dealerships that installed 427's in GT 500's, could they have installed just a 427 Short Block to avoid the Header/Exhaust issues?

  Way Cool! This is how I found 04052. Air, 4-speed. Mostly original paint.

Crazy Question....... When leaving a Car on Jack Stands, I always put the Front Jack Stands on the Frame Rails by the Torque Boxes and the Rear Jack Stands on the Frame Rails by the front Eye of the Leaf Springs.  I see this Car has the Front Jack Stands on the Frame Rails by the Radiator Support.  Where would you place the Jack Stands if leaving the Car on them for a while?

This year's shirts will be an empty gas tank, empty wallet, and a gas pump, with an image of a thirsty FE behind.

Make sure you can see that Sticker of Biden on the Gas Pump pointing to the Price with the words "I Did That".

A lot of Craftsmanship went into this Mustang.........

The 65-66 was at the NPD Silver Springs Show several times during it build.  The 68 was at the Mustang Show in Pensacola a few times.

In my never ending quest to research 0100's history, I acquired this photo a couple of nights ago.  The photo was taken by Bob D'Olivo for Motor Trend magazine on Monday, 12/12/66.  I was definitely surprised to see what appears to be the engine oil filter with an oil pressure line attached to it remotely mounted in the driver's side front wheel well!!!

I have seen Vacuum Canisters in that time period that look just like that as well.

My questions is, do you think it would have sold better (higher Price) if it went back to the original Limegold when they refurbished it?

My question is where is the sold price? I don't see it. It says May 21 date of auction

Yes, I know.  It is too late to change the Color.  It will sell at No Reserve so I ask......would it have brought a Higher Price if it was Limegold instead of Red?  You pretty much know it will sell between $99,000 to $140,000 on the 21st.  Do you think if it was Limegold, would it go Higher on the 21st.?
