Hi all,

Does anyone have a source for the dash speaker screen cloth for preventing debris from falling onto speaker cone.  I am having an original 1966 Mustang speaker reconed and would like to find the OEM cloth if possible.  The reconer has cloth, just not the OEM style.

Thanks

Cory

Hi all,

My buddy Laurence in Oregon sent to me.  I like.

Hi all,

Here is a story that if read by too many non-informed people will become fact.  I had not heard this story before, but is 100% false.  Am I wrong? Ford did not swap out manual transmission for automatics in the GT350H.  Here is the quote from the article:

"Adams also mentioned that most of the rental Mustangs were actually manual transmission, but after taking so many beatings at the track, they started experiencing clutch issues. To remedy that problem, Ford swapped out all manuals with automatic transmissions. It didn't keep people from beating them into the ground, though, so soon they were pulled from the lots altogether.

Hi all,

Does anyone know when this additional return spring was added with the C6ZZ-7540-A bracket added to firewall.  I believe it is a mid to later 66 Mustang/Shelby both 6 and 8 cylinder.  This would be a San Jose part, not Shelby unique, but all later manual transmission GT350's should have for sure.  Does anyone reproduce this part?  The spring is reproduced.

Thanks

Hi all,

First Annual Dan Gurney 200 race program, $80 includes shipping.  The lap time chart page is loose, second to last page. Very cool piece.

Thanks for looking

Hi all,

Does anyone recognize this car?   IIRC, the photographs were taken in the 1990s in Kansas at a restoration shop.  I expect the car has been repaired and restored by now.   At least I hope so.

Stay well

Hi all,

I came across this FE dual quad at a recent swap meeting, (Pacific Raceways 3-6-21)  that I have never seen before nor seen any advertising on the intake.  It is much higher than a FE high rise intake that I have seen.  What is it?  The price was near $1300.

Thanks

Hi all,

What's the deal with this sign?  The seller seems to have too many signs identical to be finding them as originals. He's got to be making them. He's getting extremely good money for them.  I have seen him sell this exact sign three or four times maybe more.

Hi all,

On the Scott Fuller exhaust for 66 GT35O, it comes as one piece from the H pipe back. To install on a car do you have to drop the rear axle or can it  be installed with a tire and wheels removed and fed over axle?  If not how does one install?

Thanks

Hi all,

I have a matching pair of assembly line rear wheel cylinders, 29/32, small bleeder screw, ready to go, rebuilt and sleeved by White Post Restorations.  They are both cast with the 38787 marking like the originals. White Posted paints them cast iron gray.  They are currently sealed from White Post.  The two white dabs of paint will need to be added to match the original assembly line parts.  I can add if desired.  $500 $450 for the pair, plus ride.

Please send me an IM if interested.

Thanks

Hi all,

Does any one have a paint code for the blue paint on the Ford adjustable shock used on the 66 GT350's.  I like to get a spray can mixed up.  Without a code, I am going to estimate the color from an original shock, color print and then have a paint supplier analyze.  Below is my image to print and take to a paint supplier.  Any other suggestions would be appreciated?  The code I got for this color from Photoshop was R 21, G 89 and B174.  Can a paint supplier match that?  I have know idea.  I also understand the monitor, the lighting and camera that took the shot will also have variations.

Thank you

Cory

Hi all,

I am rebuilding this power steering pump, started out just to remove a dent in the canister (3A697).  But since I have it open, might as well finish the job.  There is a bushing/sleeve/bearing in the cast iron portion of the pump that the pulley and pump drive shaft spins on.  I have searched the different parts vendors for a new bushing and have come up zero.  Any suggestions?  Please see attached image for bushing, high lighted in red.

Thanks

Hi all,

There has been some interest in the 66 GT350 leather fobs on the seat belts.  I have talked with Denny (6S1568), selling the fobs and have the below images to share relevant to the variations of the Ray Brown and Impact seat belts.  In summary:

1)  The latch side image shows four variations, alternating between Ray Brown and Impact.  The first image on left shows a Ray Brown latch with a closed loop on the end of the latch.  The remaining three have an open loop.  I will conjecture the closed loop is the earliest version, at least for 1966.

2)  You will also notice the left two have no metal webbing, the third from left has the beginnings of a web and the far right seat belts has a full web.  This belt is fully provision for a leather fob.  This represents a transition to leather fob on loop side to the latch side.  I will conjecture this is for very late GT350's.

3)  On the loop half of the seat belt, most common with leather fob, the image showing the Ray Brown seat belt would suggest that the rougher side was also black.  I believe it is more common to see the rough side a natural color.  I do not have an image of the latch side with leather fob.  Maybe someone can post.  There also appears to be different sets of markings on the loop half, such as "O" or a Military Standard.

4)  The adjusters are very similar with the Ray Browns appearing a little beefier.

5)  The tags are shown front and back.  They are obviously different.  Both have reference to a material standard(s) to which the belt was made.

6)  There seams to be too styles of hooks.  The short I have found is consistent with Ray Brown and the long consistent with Impact.  However, this is not an absolute.  It is also possible that Ray Brown and Impact belts could have been intermixed after the cars were new by the current owner at the time to make a repair by replacing a belt half.  I have seen Ray Browns with long hooks

I believe the Ray Browns are most common in the early GT350's and the Impacts in the later cars.  The in between cars is where it gets messy, likely a mix of both manufactures.  It also seams to be typical the belt hardware was chromed, but not an absolute.  I have heard the very early 65 GT350's may have had a dull or gray finish hardware.

As part of a survey, if you care to post what your GT350 originally came with, please answer the below questions.

1) SAI VIN

2)  Latch end - (O) Open or  (C) closed

3)  Latch end - (A) No web, (B) partial web, (C) full web with holes for leather fob

4)  (R) Ray Brown or (I) Impact

5)  (S) Short or (L) long hook.

6)  (C) Chrome or (D) dull finish

So your answer might look like  6S123, 2O, 3A, 4R, 5S and 6C.  Or just spell it out.  If your belts don't match, make two listings.  Some cars came with two styles with in same manufacture and even a mix of both manufactures.

Let see what this survey gets us.  If you have question, go ahead and post.  If I made an error, straighten me out.

Hope this is useful.  Let see what else  we can learn together.

Thanks

Hi all,

I made a black and white print of this image from 1.0 forum.  Does any one have on original I could get a scan?  Any one know the story behind the picture?

Thanks

Cory

Hi all,

I have a Road & Track 1/12 scale 1965 GT350 unbuilt model kit.  It is an awesome kit.  There are lots of parts with all sorts of detail.  Revell did a very nice job.  IIRC, it was released in 1985.   I purchased this kit to get a nice full scale scan of the decal sheet for the same model I bought at a swap meet years ago without any of the striping.  I'd like to add the striping and other decals to my assembled model to get the full affect.  Now that I have my reproduced decal sheet I am ready to let go and have someone else enjoy building the kit.  I'd like $195 $175 plus the ride.  Please see images attached and ask questions.

Thanks

Hi all,

I swapped out a very nice repop fan shroud for an original fan shroud that I recently picked up.  This repop shroud is actually the nicest one I have seen in replicating an original.  The manufacture did try to get as close to an original as they could, but there are still subtle differences.  This version appears to be no longer available.   VCM use to sell a similar version VG2091, but also appears to be not available.  IIRC, the original retail on this repop was near $200, very expensive.  I expect the manufacture/seller discovered there was no market at that price, especially when less expensive versions were available.  He discontinued this piece.  I did get for less.  I am offering here for about half an original, and twice the repop with a rubber pad, $100 plus the ride.  I realize this forum will not be the best place to sell a repop, but thought I'd try here first.

I can also provide the repop mounting brackets for the same price if you intend to use on a stock two core radiator.

Thanks

Cory

Hi all,

Perkins has a real used heater delete vent box, heater controls cover and firewall plate.  He also has a NOS vent box plus a more complete NOS set up.

Hi all,

Can someone please tell me what magazine and date this "Rusty Rental" article came from.  It is recent 2020.  I'd like to find and purchase the entire magazine, not just the article.  The seller cleverly has not revealed the magazine in his images, at least I can't find.

There is also a YouTube for those that missed.

Hi all,

Can someone tell me what is a the misalignment between their cars power brake pedal and clutch pedal on their 68 GT350/500/KR or Mustang.  Is there a misalignment because the pedals have different pivot points?  I am use to seeing them pretty much inline.  Attached are images to help illustrate the question.

Thank you

Cory

Hi all,

Here is a 2.0 version of the PCW-BA HiPo 289 C4 tag.  I did modify and aged from new.  It was just too perfect brand new.  The letters are lighter than the 1.0 version.  If you would like to contact the manufacture to get your own, drop me an IM and I will give you his contact info and you can talk to him directly and specify a date code for your tag.  He is a super nice guy and is only doing this for the love of the hobby.  He has the means and way to make these tags.  I certainly do not.  He has other projects that would be much more profitable, but likes helping out.  His asking price is $65.  I can also give you the recipe for the modifications and ageing to get the results shown in the attached image.

Best regards

Cory
