Great question, Brian!

I'll also add the NOS washer pump kit pictured.

Ruben,

I thought you were looking for an autographed 8x10 of Howard Pardee?  I heard they come up on ebay occasionally.

LOL!  Nope, I already have one autographed document from Howard.  I'm hoping to get a second one soon.

True story, may have told it before

Circa 2002-2003 I saw a GT500KR at Carlisle, I inspected the car to the best of my ability and wanted it but did not have the funds at the time, It was $25,500 and the seller was a car salesman from a new Ford dealership, his customer/GT500KR owner wanted a Lincoln Navigator and if this salesman sold it, he could then sell the guy the SUV. Achingly rust free, one repaint, Calif car, tons of receipts, I was in love. A month or so later I had the money and rang the guy. Deal was done and I got the car. Only thing I needed was a retractor harness cover. I called everywhere. Perogie laughed, said he had never seen one and would be $500 if he had one. Other people whistled sharply and said good luck. I lived in Orlando florida at the time and on the top of the Automobile section of the Orlando Sentinel newspaper there was always a little section for folks hunting a rare part. I sent an advert in. "Peter is looking for a LH seat belt retractor cover for a 1968 Shelby GT500KR". A few days later I get an email "I got one" I was in disbelief. I ask the guy how he has one. He says he made it. I am disheartened thinking it is going to be made of play doe and will be horrible. I agree to meet him in a gas station and he walks over with a bag of them, I have my other side one to compare and the things are perfect (to me anyway) Ford part number, texture, colour was a bit darker as they were new but he had like 5, I paid him his asking price for one, $25. I was never happier than when I put that cover over my bare retractor. I told Orlando Mustang about this guy and shortly after repro covers were on the market so I assume this guy started supplying them.

The guy had a Shelby replica he built and wanted covers so he made them in his kitchen!!!

Wish I still had that car. I sold it just over a year later as I was moving to the UK. Sold in Charlotte NC at the Autofair to the only guy who was after it all weekend. $39k.

Cheers. Peter
