Hey All: does anyone have a source who rebuilds original steering boxes for a '70 350 4spd.  Or, who might have an nos for sale.
I can email a pic. of the tag off our unit if that helps the cause.  Thx.

Yes, it is for a '70 350-thx for clarifying Bob.

Looking for a nos/used front license plate frame for a '70 350-are they the same as used on standard Mustangs for that year?  Thx.

Surfing Facebook: '67/350 in West Chester, PA-claims it's an original Paxton car and has been "tastefully upgraded"  Boston, MA '67/500 claims it's "one of the highly coveted limited production run of only 59 cars ever built"  Tag is shown but I could not read it.  Was running out of the office with no time to cut and paste...

So, there's a '71 429 4spd for sale on the East Coast-almost one of those too good to be true cars-basically, seller claims it's an original/untouched survivor car w/ low miles.  I decided to reach out for a pic. of the block cast #-not that hard to get-I even emailed instructions on where it's located.  Word for word response: "I just talked to my manager and he told me that we can't do it because we are not able right now to disassemble a part of a car to take a picture of what you need.  If you are really interested in this car, you can visit our dealership and take your mechanic to disassemble a part of a car and to take a picture or to take a look.  Also, we can send some other picture of the car, maybe you are interested some more pictures of the engine, interior, exterior".  Third grade grammar aside,  I didn't even know how to respond...   

Why can't pp/owners just leave a car like this alone and enjoy it is as a nice driver-and then put it up for sale in the same condition-would probably bring close to 100k.  Way too easy-quick grab the wrench and start tearing her down...

Sold-137k plus 10% to the house.   

Agreed-saw the car this past week.  Very nice and while I'm not a certified judge, I have to say a quality survivor car.  Tough call on price given the buyer's fee esp. if bidding on line.  If the reserve is where I feel it is, when adding in the fee, I think your equity is dead in the water-just my humble opinion.  That said, an unmolested 500/4spd w/ very low miles & no stripes might be worth a stretch...  Again, imo.       

I'll call my contact at the Museum today and nail down what the inspection rules are and what, if anything, he knows about the car-and, I will be 10 minutes away from the Museum on Tues. and Wed. of next week if anyone wants my help.  If the car is not yet on site, which I'll bet it's not, I may be able to reach out/connect with the owner directly. 

Not mine/no affiliation-we just have a vacation home nearby.  '68 500/4spd at Owls Head Transportation Museum auction on the 24th.  Check it out on their website-no Lot # given.  Looks like a nice survivor w/ low miles if correct.  I may be nearby on the 14th and if it's available can inspect.  Sometimes Owls Head allows inspections only day of or day before or not at all-I just can't remember their policy...

No-still available.  Long story but I'm trying to get my hands on them so that we can all move on.  Stay tuned or pm me.

I'm away from the office today for a bit but I'll email you with the info. when I return. 

FYI-there's a guy in my back yard selling an original pair of '68 Fenders-I can inspect if need be but the pics. on Facebook tell the story-I think.   

Is there a diagram or set of instructions out there on the proper installation of the spare tire, plate, jack assembly, air cannister etc. for both a '69 and '70 Shelby including whether there is some sort of round padding that fits in somewhere.  I'd just like to get it right after seeing so many different applications.  Thanks.
