Can someone tell me the length of the valve stem on a 65 Shelby cragar wheel ?
Thanks

+1 on what Bob said. I rebuilt mine with a NPD seal kit. The one seal is hard to get on . Make sure the cylinder bore is pit free and dip all of the seals in silicone dot 5 . I am going on 1 yr. with no leaks .we will see if it stays leak free.

+1 My conv. has vinyl ,fsbk comfort weave

No pins. I just took the glove box liner out to check and there are no pins coming through. 100% original emblem

Thanks to all of you.Gary,thanks for the photo of the front of the car. I find this a fascinating and interesting topic.

+1 I totally agree with Bob . That is not an original.

Don,
Your welcome.
That is what this forum is all about, fellow members helping each other. I have been helped by some of the top  knowledable people in SAAC and the least I can do is give my 50 yrs. of experience to help others.

Don,
I have EG-145 for a 65 with gold base.But the base does not have the nipple for the hose from the oil fil cap.I have a K car I will use the base on and I had a base with the nipple for my 65.
When you call them make sure they have the correct base you need. EG-124 in my catalog has a blue base.
I think you will be happy with the chrome lid and I had to think long and hard before getting my original rechromed. It was rusty and I do not have it back yet so we will see if I like it.
Hope this helps

Yes I have some. What is your next question?

I bought one from Virginia Classic Mustang and it has the detents. It is nice and acceptable to me . I also have an original that is being rechromed .

I have a few more questions . How was it sent ,motor wise,from SanJose to SAI? I believe with factoryA/C and dual quads without any Paxton.
Didn't the car have GT500 stripes on it 1st ? Before the EXP?
What happened to the original fenders and front end? I assume it was in 68 configuration since there were so many 68 parts on it when found. Taillight bezels,qt panel reflectors,steering wheel. Was it in a wreck?
Anyway, I think it is fantastic the car still exists and not crushed like I heard my whole life.And I think the show and Craig J. did a nice job. I could watch shows like this all day instead of the garbage that is on TV these days.

Yes, I meant to say $150 each. But I also might have $75 in my other 2. Of course I am talking yrs. ago prices.
Don, did you buy those hubcaps at $4000? If so ,I need to sell you some parts.HaHa
68 hubcaps are not a rare part.
Brad

Since you asked and said reasonable I will give you my answer. They are not a rare part but like Charles said, if NOS ,mint condition, that makes them desirable. If they need nothing,ready to put on the car. Start at $300-350 each. At $500 each I would never buy. I do not need any so I have no skin in the game. I might have $150 in a couple of mine. Others may differ with me on this but price is subjective.
Hope this helps

With Virginia Classic Mustang you will have your parts by the end of the week. And I have never had to return anything in yrs. of buying. A+ to Brant,Robert and Michelle.

Ok,here is what you need.ph # for Virginia Classic Mustang 540 896-2695
Heater core non A/C IN-8304 part #. $47.95
My catalog is a few yrs. old so $ might be a little higher.
Hope this helps
