This car was at SEMA several years ago in the Ford display area. It was freaking awesome. True craftsmanship.

If you scroll through the more photos there is an engine shot. Yes multiple things are missing and/or wrong.

QuoteA guy here in Cleveland who possibly has the most original KR told me he should part out the car instead of having to pay capital gains on it. I told him I'll buy the rear defogger unit and original wheels/caps.

Most original and rear defogger?
If you are going to bring up the defogger how about the dealer added A/C? None the less it's a very nice car, although the first/last time I saw it was about 25 years ago.

I come up with a 4 1/8" back space and 16 3/8" O.D. on the wheels I have.

Center hole, using a std ruler, looks to be 2 3/4 in
Depth from lug area to outer rim on front side, is 2 7/8th's, again with a std ruler.

Same as a kr wheel,?
John
No. Not the same as a 68 Shelby wheel. 1968 Shelby steel wheel= 2.425"-2.460" center hole( varies slightly on the examples I have) & 2.5" depth from front side center hole flange edge to the outer wheel edge.

N 15X6   JJ  1     1   7      C k2  inside rim
K2      1     17    60
2                       valve stem area

Wheel hub
scrolled and circled ford script   K2      TC      A       1
                    2       C

Has the correct lips, 4 dog cap flanges, and off set, 2 7/8ths as stock KR wheels have.
Would like to find out what its worth.
There is a topic at this time on KR wheels, and this looks very correct down to the ford script, but I can not make sense from the numbers provided above.

I several sets of wheels and there are 2 styles of paint codes used on the rear of the rims, a single white paint dob near the outer edge of the rim and the thin band of paint on the outer rear rim. I use the term white but the color is an odd mix between pure white and off white.
Mike
I have wheels with the thin band of paint also. Also most of the other wheels I have have two paint marks on them, (see reply #10) not one. I have seen wheels with just the one paint mark also.

I have a 1966 289 engine assembly from a 66 GT350, vin numbers have been verified by Mr Pardee.

Are you able to share the Shelby VIN on the block?
Not sure if you are asking for the VIN on the block? That is the Ford VIN, no Shelby VIN on the block and the Ford VIN should not be shared. If you are asking for the Shelby VIN that matches the Ford VIN to this block that would probably be alright.

Rodney,
Another wheel to add to your 23. This is from my KR.In the center of the rim between the lug holes.K28  , fomoco, 19, and C.
Around the tire stem. K28,6, and 20.
For those that don't know the K28 means Kelsey Hayes , 2 is made in Canada, and 1968. The K38 is the same except the 3 means made in USA.
This wheel is from a July car.
Hope this helps Brad
Brad
Thanks for the info. I will add it to My list. When was your car build ( Ford ) date?
Thanks Rodney
