Im getting excited, I have high expectations for this car at the auction. I see the photographs have been updated

That is one very nice car! So odd not to see the Caution Fan decal. 

Could you post some pictures of the lights themselves?

On eBay, name and VIN not shown in the photos.

I would be interested in attending. Probably just to hang out and parade laps.

Wow.  So cool.

"I bought it on eBay"

Sad news.  RIP and condolences to the family.

I'll think of him every time I drive my 68 without wheel covers.

If you don't understand go back to the SAAC annual articles.

Corey,

I'd like to see the oil you drained. Could you put it in a glass container, let it sit overnight and post a pic?

Here's a thought.  Take some new oil, mix with antifreeze, gas, water, mix and see if any of the mixtures match what you drained.

And my owners manual is still being held hostage....

Rod, You say being held Hostage. So I'm assuming you know who has it?

Yes

Was the 101 restoration thread lost with the crash of Forum 1.0?  That would be a shame.  Lots of good stuff!

Back up anything you read now before the next crash!

Bob and I were both Naval Aviators based at the same base (NAS Pt Mugu), at the same time, waaay back in another dimension, although we did not know one another at the time (he being USN, I USMC). My 65 GT-350 was my primary car on-base then.
Years later, totally unrelated, while talking shop with him on SBF Ford trivia, we bumbled onto to this and I was finally able to say: 'so you're the oddball who had that hiPo 63 Fairlane with full skirts!!).
Neat guy. He is REALLY into it.

Now that is cool. 

I don't believe until I see photos.   

@ENG - very cool!

Here is where you order a copy.  Great book.  I have one too. - https://fordsmallblock.com/

Thank you for listing this web site.  I first went to Amazon and it was $118.  Here it is $39 and you get both the book and the PDF.

Corey

The fordsmallblock site is has some good information about the book and Bob too.

It has been talked about before but bears repeating .There are questions all the time on this forum in regards to historical facts about 65-68 289/302 engines. In a effort to help preserve the historical heritage of the Shelby Marque among other things I am glad to be help answer question for folks about engine details but this book is the bible on the subject.  Mustang & Ford Small Block V8: 1962-1969 . I can't give it enough praise for the historical detail information it contains . I have referenced it more times then I care to count and I still glean information from it frequently. This reference book along with shop manuals and assemblyline manuals should be in every enthusiasts collection that is concerned about how the cars were originally built. Also least I forget the author Bob Mannel is great guy besides being a genius IMO.

Even if you are not super concerned about how cars were originally built, you can learn a lot about what to look for and the differences between the same parts.  A must for a SBF owner/enthusiast.   

He continues to share his knowledge and his amazing skills on the Fairlane Club of America site. Worth a membership to follow along on his builds.
