Hi Deathsled,

Here is a road you might like.  This is Highway 36 west of Red Bluff California, 140 miles of curves and nothing.  I was warned to fill up on fuel before crossing and they were not kidding.    I got to cross this road after making a navigational error when Highway 101 was closed from mud slides when I was trying to get to Ferndale CA from Sacramento on Highway 101.  It was a six hour re-route.    It was like 1:00 in the morning when starting to make the crossing, no traffic and out in the middle of no where.  The roads were so curvy at the top I was using my navigation systems to track my location and the direction of the next curve.  The headlights were only lighting the road banks with every turn.  I was starting to wonder if I was going to have a Sasquatch encounter because the top is so remote.  Remember  Patterson-Gimlin and Bluff Creek, just north from the top of High way 36?

Take care

Hi Steve,

If the wheels you are looking at are items No. 352194402352 and 122776185232.   Run as fast as you can the other way.  They are  not original SAI steering wheels.

Hi Mtdubvee,

Do you have images you can post?  It would help.

Thanks

Cory

Hi Karguy,

Attached is the fat "C" servo from my buddy for trade for your skinny "C" servo.  I sent you an IM with his contact info and some other thoughts.

Cory

Hi TLea,

According the Ford Master Parts Catalog, it is only the 1965-66 F100's and F250's with the straight 300 CID that received the "C" servo.  The same years trucks with the 240 CID received the "A" servo.  The engineering part number shown shows its origin was Galaxie C5AZ-7D027-B with the "A" in the prefix part number.  If you can find a police or taxi Galaxie from 1965 or 1966 with the C4, it too should have the "C" servo for heavy duty.

You are right, these are also very hard to find.

Take care

Cory

P.S.     Don't confuse casting part number with engineering part number.  They are usually different.

The funny thing is the  "C" servo started as a truck part.  The "T" in C5TP or C6TP is for Truck.

Here is the registry info on 6S1060, consistent with the delivery sheet.  Looks like the dealer had about $1000 potential profit plus any accessories that they may have sold with the car.

Danny Geevers says "This Shelby is a real project but as an 1 owner family car and sits from 1972 its kind of a cool find!!! "

I am assuming Howard is updating the registry info.  "Car found in California, offered for sale from the Netherlands (Geevers.nl/nl) for 87 Euros October 2018." or something like that.

Hi Dizzy,

Date codes will determine the values and the cars they would go into.  They will need to be OEM.  Condition will also play a big part.  Don't through them away.  Someone will want.  The problem will be delivery, not demand.

Thanks Cory but I have seen the one on Mark's web site but most of it is covered.
The 66 type, does it include carry-over cars as well.

Hi Texas Swede,  I would guess either the single sheet or 8 fold version would work for the partial spec cars (AKA carry over).  I expect there are not enough original owner cars with original Koni instruction sheets to suggest one is more right than other.

for safety reasons, they don't recommend doing belts. phred

Hi Phred,  Who is they?  I am not sure it really matters.  If your car has a none collapsible steering column and no shoulder harness, the lap belt is mostly notional for safety anyhow.  It is still a good idea to wear, but if you are worried about safety, driving these old cars in not the best idea.  When I was a little lad, I remember my grandmother holding me in the passenger front seat while I stood and looked out the windows.  I had no seat belt on at all.  Now days that will get you a ticket if not child endangerment.

Cory

Hi Karguy,

I might have trade for you.  Checking now.  I have a buddy with a fat "C" servo that may want to have the skinny "C" servo.  His car should have the skinny "C".  I will get back to you as soon as I hear from him and put you two together.

$90k ?? Obviously you guys see something I don't  Looks like the drivers floor is hanging down ? You'd be so upside down in the car$$$ wise. All my old eyes see is a money pit.  Cool find though.

Hi Gurmpy,

"Good deal" is for the car is no longer MIA.  The asking price is not such a good deal.  I agree with you.  The metal work will be expensive.  It is the not seen rust that should scare any potential buyer.

Cory

Hi Texas Swede,

See the 5S003 website below.  In this image is the KONI instruction sheet for 65 GT350's, if the the car was lucky enough to have been placed with the car.  The 66 KONI instruction sheet is an 8 fold format.

The Plexiglas instruction sheet in the image should not have been in the 65 glove box pieces, but for some reason was in this set of literature.  I currently own that piece.

Cory

The registry shows the car MIA.  Another one found and accounted.

Good deal

Cory

Hi Brian,

Danny Geevers replied to my second inquiry about the call.  He said 78 euros.  The car is still in the USA if any one is interested, but won't be here for long.

Take care
