I think most people have a rare part or two they are always on the look out for.  For instance, I'm always keeping an eye out for a Dec/Jan '66/67 Hipo distributor for my friend Nick.  I also searched for quite a while for an early one piece slanted grill for an early 1967 Shelby.  I probably would have had a better chance finding the one eyed unicorn recently spotted in California.    :)

What is the single hardest to find part you are currently chasing?  List it here and perhaps the Shelby gods may shine down on you and someone on this forum will fulfill your wish.  I'll start:

1) An assembly line Autolite 22F yellow top battery.  If anyone has one they'd like to part with, I'm all ears.

Anyone else?

Great question, Brian!

Keith - I’m pretty much in the same boat as you just one month later: C4ZE G2 W-MO 3 65.

I’ll also add the NOS washer pump kit pictured.
Nothing beats a classic!

C4ZA Leaf Springs.  The stamped part number is: C4ZA5556S.  I would need the dates to be in the range from 140 E5 to 240 E5.

Been trying for YEARS!

a perfect set on rear quarter interior window inserts, I got two sets of the exterior trim and one set of original plexiglass and  set of oval 1972 Bonneville Nationals Members Decals (water slide only)
Owned since 1971, now driven over 245,000 miles, makes me smile every time I drive it and it makes me feel 21 again.😎

Ruben,

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

A reasonably priced set of 4 "brushed" finish wheel trim rings for a 1968 Mustang GT.  And an original pair of 1968 Mustang front seats with headrests.
