I remember, as a young tire toad, installing studs in snow tires. Pretty tedious job. Surprised I never put one in my finger.

I never knew the maroon car was sold from Cate Ford. I chased that car for a while and didn't hear it was going to Mecum, so I missed out. I ended up with 0181, another Cate Ford car. I wonder if they were on the lot at the same time. Probably not, since 0181 was sold to Haven leasing on 3/19/68.

I got mine from Brown's directly. I don't see them on the website anymore, but maybe worth a call.

1968 Shelby GT350/500/500KR / Re: Drivers Glass

If you are concerned about matching the date code, 7G is the date code (7=1967, G=July). Check the other pieces of glass and use that as a range. Coupe, convertible and fastback are all different.

Maybe they will reconsider now. Tell them you could have put out your own fire.

I had noticed, but didn't want to jinx it. It's been nice not having to delete a bunch of garbage!

Is the car number on the manual somewhere? I don't see it. Was it determined by the original owners name?

I have always wondered what happens with a salvage title car when it is brought to a no title state. Many states don't issue titles to older cars NY being one. It gets a transferable registration. Does the brand follow?

If it is 4267, it was a fairly accomplished show car. Fifth car down from the top.

Jim is a great guy. I have been meeting him at Barrett for years. I was with him when he bought 195. I can help you get in touch with him if you need to.

Corey,

Just make sure she knows that she is not as well protected in a convertible as she would be in a hardtop. My son had a close call in his 97 Cobra convertible. The windshield folded down on the passenger side (thankfully). Could have been much worse.

Do you still have the same cell number? 7048. If so, I will send you a couple of pictures.

Just one concerned Dad to another.
