1968 Shelby GT350/500/500KR / 68 Air Conditioning Conderser
« on: August 12, 2022, 05:20:16 PM »
Was the condenser as factory installed painted black or was it left natural aluminum as manufactured finish?

I thought others would like to see it as well.

Swap Meet / Swap RUG-AZ for RUG-S
« on: July 25, 2022, 11:52:54 AM »
I have a complete RUG-AZ set up. Including Ford Hurst shifter and Ford rods, levers and speedometer adapter.

At this point it is going into my '67 GT500 BUT I'd consider swapping it for a the right RUG-S that should be in my car.

Not that it matters but it is hooked up with a vintage Lakewood "scattershield" and I'd be interested in the right date coded C60A bell, 7E30, as well.

PM me if anything strikes your fancy on this disturbing thought.

NOTHING IS FOR SALE HERE. Only a swap one for the other.

Are the rivets that hold the Mustang horn halves together available new from anyone?

1968 Shelby GT350/500/500KR / 68 air conditioning detail
« on: July 12, 2022, 02:14:26 PM »
Does the 68 use a metal bracket set, like the 65-6 does where the a/c lines pass through the radiator support to the condenser?

I know that it uses a grommet but is there a metal bracket set that attaches it to the radiator support?

I can't find any pictures or diagrams that show the detail at that point? I simply don't remember what it is supposed to look like?

Here's a scenario to consider in your response.

Presuming that say a "Shelby" was purchased in 1970 for $1,000, and kept and maintained all these years and sold now for $150,000, is the amount dealt with like selling a stock or like selling a house?

The reason that I ask, a stock has no maintanence cost. If I bought 1,000 shares of Apple at $4 per share and sell it now there was no cost to me of maintaining it.

On a car, there were 40 years of insurance, repairs, and other maintenance to maintain it's value. Without actually totaling the number, that could be more then the actual sales price of the car?

So how does this get declared? Is there a "discussion" or debate with the IRS about that AND does this have to be declared as "ordinary income"?

Wanted to Buy / WTB clutch lever boot for Lakewood Ford Bell

WTB clutch lever boot for Lakewood Ford Bell.

I have an "old" Lakewood Ford FE "scattershield that I need a clutch lever boot for.

It is no longer serviced by Lakewood.

It measures 3" x 4" if that helps.


If you know a source for this that would help as well.

Concours Talk / Ford 4 speed manual top loader paint markings
« on: March 01, 2022, 03:01:33 PM »
I'm specifically looking for the paint markings common to 67 GT500 manual transmission cars but also common ones from different years.

If you could, posting them here would be helpful.

Thanks.

The Lounge / Header ID search
« on: February 12, 2022, 04:23:13 PM »
I took a set of used long tube 67-69 ish 428 Mustang headers in a trade.

1-3/4" primaries. 3" 3 bolt collectors.


I thought that they were Hookers but they are only marked R 522  1 and L 522 1. Left and right.

I did the Google search routine but I can't find any cross references. They happen to fit rather well though.

Does the part number sound familiar to any of you?



I'm suspecting that they may be a set of Gratiot Auto Supplies, Comp Plus headers? Those have a distinctive shape around the clutch mechanisms I haven't seen on other manufacturers but their listings are gone long before personal computers even appeared.

1967 Shelby GT350/500 / FE starter heat shield
« on: February 11, 2022, 09:43:11 AM »
Is there supposed to be a heat shield for the starter or is it supposed to get cooked like right up against the exhaust manifolds?

I've got an early production '69 B'9 XE 144555 alternator bracket that is looking for a new home.

It is in nice shape.

I'm finding it difficult to put a value on it as Ebay seems to be the only references  that show up.

I'll put a price on it of $325. I'll consider offers. I realize that this is a very small market but it is quite apparent already that it isn't your run of the mill $30 item?  ;)

You can PM me here if interested.

Should the date code on the '67 GT500 carburetors match the build dates on the engine?
