Anyone know when Ken Miles's R is going up on the block? I suspect this evening but it is a challenge on Mecum's site to find the day and approximate time. Plus I can no longer find the live link to video on their site. Hell, I should just drive down to Indianapolis now...

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Thank you. I saw that link before during my search but it doesn't list an approximate time. However, I did find the live auction on YouTube. So it's up to me to calculate when she rolls over the auction floor based on which listing number they are at. I am at the office at the moment but my mind is obviously elsewhere...and certainly not on my work. Better focus...

Okay thank you for finding that info. I'm only part time tech savvy.

You make me think about how much, say, the front gender is worth on the Flyer. It truly shows that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts applying Gestalt theory on 5R002.

Does anyone know what the second white toggle switch on the dash is for?

I believe it's for the fuel pump.
Nothing beats a classic!

Thanks for the info, I guess they wired the other R model pumps in with the ignition switch.

I think it was more typical for the electric fuel pump to have a separate switch.

Safety reason?  The equivalent of a kill switch old school style?

Effective security device too, if you hid the toggle.  ;D

Quite true.  Also true, it is a manual and these days, that is its own security mechanism against theft.

BEAUTIFUL CAR, BUT IF YOU ARE GOING TO RESTORE A 1965R OR EVEN A REGULAR 1965 SHELBY, YOU SHOULD A LEAST USE THE RIGHT FUEL PUMP.  NOT A 1966-1967 BUTTON TOP.  3.8 MILLION SHOULD GET YOU A 100 POINT RESTO!  JUST SAYING.
