OK, here is an UPDATED list for my friend's GT350 auto vert. Some parts he has already bought off of SAAC members here like rocker moldings, DS side scoop, hood locks dash assy, wheels, etc. Thanks for all of you who responded and who sold him parts. By the parts he has bought so far he is really serious on having one of the best 68 GT350 verts around. Gary

I believe he has gotten sill plates from Bob Perkins this weekend meeting up with him at Carlisle. I think he is also interested in good original but won't talk to him until Sunday. Gary
It would be very nice if you could type out his list because a lot of it is very hard to read.

I don't understand some things on the list(notes). I have asked him. He is a doctor so that should explain why it is hard to read. He has bought a lot also and I need to touch base as he has been buying $$$$$ last week on the way to Carlisle and at Carlisle from vendors and meeting up with some. Hopefully I will get an updated list in the next couple of days. My Daughter got married over the weekend and he got back and had a graduation for one of his Daughters over the weekend. Gary
I took him parts for his shelby and boss 429 and he picked up many parts at carlisle so his new list should be much shorter now. Carlisle had a huge crowd this year but it is becoming more of a big car show event than a swap meet. Guys are buying swap meet spots in the swap meet field just to park their car or truck or camper and dont even bring parts to sell. Every year the number of vendors that bring parts to sell gets smaller yet the field is full of parked vehicles and u waste a lot of time walking and dragging parts around the field. Carlisle has been slowly moving vendors from the north side short rows to the long south side vendor rows but some vendors want to keep their original spots so parts buyers know where they are every year.

He has been VERY MAD at his money lately ;D ;D ;D. I'm glad you had some B9 parts for him. Tom and I have been ragging him on getting parts and finishing up the B9 to the level it should be at especially since he has that new Shelby project. Gary
bump.
the exhaust he should get from Scott fuller

no matter how good a repo part is my friend always wants original parts first if he can find them. He got that way owning a survivor 69 Boss 429 with original paint plus a few brand X original paint cars he owns. I'm sure he will end up with a Fuller exhaust when the time comes. He bought a NOS pos battery cable from Bob Perkins and he was told by Bob the neg is just not out there so he will probably have to "improvise" on that piece. Gary
I have 6 items on his 68 list here and a set of original take off tailpipes if needed. I took him some parts that i could find and what i could read on his hand written hard to read list. I am in the middle of moving my inventory out of shop that is being sold now and now i got to move out of my town storage building that is also being sold so i am going to rent the old ford dealership building in town for now till i can build a building on my land. Problem is i know where I put my parts but when other people help u move they dont know where they put your parts or what part it is so much of my inventory is mixed up so some stuff is hard to find till i get moved into new location.
Should have steering wheel and other parts. Also have b429

I have a 2.5 car garage and an attic with a "few" parts and I can't find parts sometimes(misplaced 69 license plate screws/plastic inserts I bought for the Mach1 and looked for an hour yesterday). I'm hoping the ones I got from you for my Shelby are in my trunk along with space savor lug nuts or I'm going to give up on cars. Gary
I have cars and parts in 10 spots within 5 miles of my house over last 40 years and when i put a part somewhere i remember where its at BUT when other people move your inventory they dont care where they put it or what it is to them its just another part. So hopefully my next move i will find parts that are buried that i havent been able to find. This mainly happened last oct when people helped me get ready for the tour from our french lick indiana fall classic show as we had car guys come in from all over usa and i was too busy working on cars for show and couldnt help but they did a good job moving things around so people could see some of my junk!!

I just found out 2 national tire chains in my area would not mount a F-70-14 polyglas 60-70s tire on a rim as a spare. Corporate policy for tires over 10 years old. Funny all these decades of mounting old tires I never heard of them blowing up. I told them I'd fill it at home but nope, that is their policy. I hope you have your own tire changer and balancer for all those tires you have. Gary
No i dont have a tire changer BUT got many connections.

Should be plenty of independent, mom/pop tire or automotive businesses still around to handle it.
For exhaust you need H-pipe, resonator pipes, date coded muffler, tailpipes and Shelby tips. Clamps and hangers.
Tailpipes are probably the easiest. Like Ed said, he has them. Clamps and hangers not too tough if you can deal with used original with some pitting.
H-pipe next easiest.
Rest is going to be pretty hard to find at any price. Last original assembly line muffler I saw sell with production date (not service) was $2K I think.
Later service NOS parts are often not like assembly line parts.
Scott Fuller
BTW Ed, those parts you can't find I took when you weren't looking.

Thanks Scott. What he can't find original he will be buying Scott Fuller pieces or I am not helping him with the restoration. :) I bet he doesn't have those 68 vert drain plugs. Gary
I guess I'd better look into this where I live because I have a couple hundred tires and wheels and I need to get a bunch of them mounted up just for car shows and stuff.

Yep, those floor pan plugs will be tough to find too. Might have to buy a nice original car to get them. That's what I used to do to get trunk mats. Find nice original cars (coupes) and buy them for the mat.

[/quote]He has his original trunk mat for the car. I am not aware of the plugs though. He wants me to come see all the parts he got to Carlisle, at Carlisle and on the way home from Carlisle(made some stops) for his B9 and Shelby. I cannot imagine how much he spent but it would boggle some minds for sure. He never talks prices over the phone so I'll know how much when I get over to see him. I NEED to get my 69 SCJ Mach1 done for a show in 10 days and the car has not been started in 6 years so I cannot get by his house. Got a list and doing good so far. No parts holding me up-yet. Gary
