I also went with a Montrose trailer in a 20' model its been a very good decision also it comes with 3 jackstands so the trailer can be lifted slightly off the ground so the tires are not under weight over the time its being stored.

The picture of the bolt on to the 9" rear reminds me that there was a listing for the '69 Cougar Eliminator of a two speed rear.

Now personally I have never seen it but I do remember asking my parts guy, who was and still is a Boss 302 aficionado, and as I recall he said it was a Ford truck two speed rear assembly?

The Hone may be a better idea, for the time but frankly anything you do to a Ford one piece rear design brings up spring control issues.


What is the picture of the "Cougar rear" with the red truss? Is that supposed to be the Mustang IRS with a brace on it?

I believe the red truss is a Fays2 watts link.

Scroll down and you'll see a picture of it

That is a Fays 2 Watts link installed.

No door tag clues ?

He's just one more example of  "the dumbing down of America" in action.

Why would this guy who bought a real 66 Shelby deserve such a warm welcome ? This thread should be made a sticky to warn all who dare enter.

Could you post a pic of the information stamped on the barrel that is seen when installed ?

Are you looking for the vin number ?

Was there a 428cj installed in September 1967 for these tests ?

Is this a better description?

What was the " one of a kind rear axle mounting "

What was the " one of a kind rear axle mounting "

Similar application built into a Tri Y.

This part has been on a shelf since 82.

The bottom tag looks to have may been "cut" on a CNC machine and not stamped.

Carbon dioxide also leaves no residue.

I had the opportunity to purchase some of the NOS parts that were gathered for this car by the sellers father some time before the estate made the decision to sell the car, it was well sold.
