Hi all,

This seems to be a new feature on the SAAC forum.  It appears a thread is listed every time there is a comment.   It pushes other recent threads off the recent thread list.  See attached image for example.  The one topic is listed five times, original post plus four replies.  I did like when a thread had a reply it would move to top of recent thread list.  Thoughts?

Hi all,

I have a 1968 Shelby Mustang center console lid available.  It's tan, but can easily be dyed black if desired.  I'd like $400 plus the ride.  Please see images and ask questions.  Please send me a message if interested.

Thanks

Hi all

I have a Western Modine W-MO 7-65 Radiator top.  This radiator would come with a tag soldered onto the passenger side strap, such as C4ZE-G2, sold by AMK. It does have a split on one of the edges that will require repair. See circled area in the images.  I'd like $50 plus the ride. Please send me a message if you're interested.  Thanks

Hi all,

Trying to help a buddy with a full set 65-66 GT350 style three inch lap belts.  Just need the hook half for one seat to make a full set (See image below)  Needed are two hook ends with adjusters.  Plain dull gray finish would be perfect , but chrome versions are good too.  Please see attached image for other seat hook halves trying to match.  These came off an American Safety set.  Can you help me out?  Please send me a message if you can help.

Thank you

Cory

Hi all,

I think this might be the new high asking price at $10,000.  Crazy.  They do look like a nice set.  Not mine.

Hi All,

Kind of expensive, not mine.  Does any know any facts or history behind these light weight jackets?

Thanks

Hi all,

Up for auction is a COBRA Accelerometer.  Not mine.  Kind of high on asking price.  The seller posted a video showing the smooth action of the needle going from zero to 1.0 g.

Best of luck

What is this?  Truck COBRA shift knob?  Looks old.  The basic knob is exactly like the shift knob in my 66 Ford Truck F100 4X4.  The knob has a broad applications across the Ford line.   The early COBRA insert is formed convex to fit into a machined recess on the shift knob.  Has anyone seen this shift knob in a Ford catalog?  I expect it is aftermarket.  Looks commercially made.  It will not fit on a Mustang shifter.  The thread pitch is too small.  They must not have sold well.  I have never seen one before.

Thanks

Hi all,

Has any one done a side-by-side comparison between an original/servive part HiPo cable to a repop?  It would be valuable to be able to ID a repop.  Finding close images of repop is difficult, but I did find a close up knob.  The repop knob has a narrow rib and wider gap between ribs, especially when compared to original.  Attached are two images for comparison.  Are there other differences that can be shared?

Thank

Cory

Looks like a missing in action car.

Description:

Sat in a garage in Chicago area since 1976 and hasn't been driven since 1974.

The original Ford VIN number was verified as 7R02Q213641 (stamped in the driver side fender apron) and as such was built at the San Jose plant. Shelby VIN numbers are stamped on the passenger side inner
fender. The Shelby number which the car's paperwork is registered with (this is normal) is 67400F5A03116. I drilled out one rivet on the fender plate to verify the Shelby ID (per instruction from Marcus Angel).  The odometer mileage on the dash reads as 30,427 and is believed to be original since the car was originally titled in the
owner's name in 1976 and window sticker in the dash shows registration sticker of 1974. Its my understanding from the current family that the car was stored and not driven since this approximate time frame. This Shelby was originally sold thru Jack Loftus Ford in Hinsdale IL and was a later production Shelby having been released from Ford production in late June of 1967.

The engine itself is partially disassembled. The intake has been removed and the original parts were found in the trunk along with replacement lifters, push-rods, rocker arms and gaskets that appear to be intended for re-assembly. Radiator looks like it has been re-cored. Engine rolls over freely when turning the crankshaft with a 1/2" ratchet and socket on the front crank bolt. Alternator and power steering pump are laying on the front frame rails and still connected to the hoses and wiring. Many of the original parts are still with the car. The original rocker arms and push-rods were wrapped in newspaper dated 1977. There is an aftermarket coil and bracket and the under-hood wiring to the original coil has been modified to accommodate it. Some of the original under hood components are missing such as the washer bag and pump, original ignition coil and bracket, original battery and hold-down, back half of the exhaust, original shifter, shift boot and bezel, antenna(?) and original rear shocks. These are what I know are missing, If you don't see it in the pictures it is not included in the sale.

The car still carries its original Dark Moss green paint although it does have graffiti scratched into the top of the drivers side fender and door. The engine compartment has been spray painted blue and holes are cut in the shock towers (not sure why...see pics). The fiberglass hood is with the car but cracked and the hood hinges are missing. The hood has been fitted with locks on the firewall side (probably due to or because the hood hinges were removed). The right rear 1/4 panel has been repaired with a replacement panel...it appears to be a very professional repair...no bondo mess...spot welded...see pics for details. The paint is not original from the ledge on the right rear 1/4 panel and down beginning at the right rear door striker and back to the spoiler and rear bezel. Other areas have been touched up on the rear...see pics. It appears at one time the right rear shock came loose at the top and poked through the trunk...also has air shocks installed and a hole drilled for the air fitting in the trunk. The jack lift points on the sub-frame rails have been dented.

The Interior is largely intact with most of the original parts including the roll bar (minus the shoulder belts). Someone cut holes in the back trunk panel for speaker mounts. A mouse got into the headliner and chewed above the driver's visor and a hole on the passenger side above the seat. The seats are soft and supple and do not appear to have damage other than surface mold and some kind of glue on the plastic that peels off when I scratch it with my fingernail.

The underside appears to have been treated with some kind of undercoating and is preserved better in those areas. Has the original wheels and includes the spare tire and a jack that was in the trunk but no hold-down hardware or tire iron/wrench.

The locks and hinges on the doors and trunk work and I have the keys.

Hi all,

I have a later style Ford 9" snubber bracket with rubber snubber, fine thread.  Currently painted black.  Ask $275 plus the ride.  Please send a message if interested.

Thanks

Hi all,

I am selling these Holley 4224-S carburetors.  If you can read the description and advise me if I should make any changes or error corrections, that would be appreciated.  I am not familiar with these carbs at all.  These came of the set up I posted in an earlier thread.

Hi all,

Don't be fooled.  This looks like a LoPo 289 flywheel.  Same casting number, but balanced as a LoPo at 28.2 oz imbalance.  Seller is claiming because it came with other HiPo 289 parts makes it also HiPo.  There is no  Brinell hardness test mark, typical of all HiPo flywheels.  Current bid is too high for LoPo.  What am I missing?


See attached for  an example of a Brinell hardness mark.

Take care

Cory

Hi all,

I have a radio delete plate for a 1966 Mustang Shelby GT 350 complete with attaching nuts.  It has been restored by repainting. It is a solid piece with no damage nor repairs.  I'd like $127.5 plus the ride.   Please ask questions. Send me a PM if you're interested.
Thanks
Cory

Hi all,

In my journey to put together a functional set for a buddy, I was able to complete with one trade and and two purchases.  In doing so, I ended up with some extra pieces.  This piece here is the later style with the leather fob on the buckle part.  The adjuster and hook have been restored with very nice chrome.  The leather fob was added with the correct style of rivets.   If you are missing a belt or have a mismatched set, this might be the one to help match your set.  I'd like $150 plus the ride.  If you are interested, please send me a message.

Thanks

Cory

Hi Al,

I have a 3 inch lap belt half for 66 GT350 with the leather fob attached to the buckle half.  I also have a loop piece that I'm going to swap with the buckle and use the original webbing to complete a set that I'm trying to put together for a buddy. I hate to unsew the buckle if someone can use " as is"and we can make a trade of some sort for original webbing.  Please let me know what you have to trade by sending me a message. If not, I will swap the two pieces, resew, then offer the buckle for sale.

Thanks

Cory

Hi all,

I'm putting together a 428 Cobra Jet and have a windage tray for an FE.  Looking at the tray in the pan compared to an oil pan without, I'm not sure it really offers any benefit. The 428 Cobra Jet oil pan does have some internal baffling.  Also the tray looks like it could actually trap more oil above the tray, with no slope to drain oil, defeating the purpose of the tray. I'm thinking of not installing it.  Any thoughts?

Cory

Hi all,

I am looking for an oil filter adapter for a FE 352/390/427/428 with a casting date 68 with one to four dots, for January, February, March and April months.  There seam to be a lot on a popular auction site and a few near the end of 1968, but no early 1968 casting dates.  The Ford service part number is C0AZ-6881-A with part number cast into adapter C8AE-6881-A.

Please send me a message if you have one you willing to part with.  Below are some images of the casting date and part number.

Thank you

Cory

Hi all,

I have the stainless steel polished bezel for the 1966 GT350 Cobra tachometer.  If your tachometer's bezel has issues or broken tabs, this is the one for you. All six tabs are fine.  The stainless steel is in nice shape. I'd like $100 plus the ride. Please send me a message if you're interested.

Thank you

Cory
