OK, what would have been in the glove box of a newly delivered '65 GT350 from the dealer? Thanks.
Here is a good example. - http://1965gt350mustang.com/litmem/lm12.html (http://1965gt350mustang.com/litmem/lm12.html)
"Not all 1965 GT350's had owners packets. If you received one with your car, this is what was included: Detroit Locker GT350 booklet, GT350 owners manual, Koni shocks information sheet, how to care for plexiglas sheet (not sure why this was in the 1965 packet - I have seen these in the 1966 GT350 packet to care for the quarter windows), 1965 Mustang owners manual, and a 1965 High Performance Equipment manual."
Thank you!

I have not heard of the plexiglass sheet being included in a 65 owners packet . As you mentioned it wouldn't make sense like it would for a 66 GT 350.

Some of the items in the packet are not reproduced like the detroit locker manual and the Koni shock brochure. Others are reproduced like the regular Mustang owners manual and 65 high performance manual and 65 GT350 owners manual. I have never seen or heard of a NOS unused 65 owners manual. It is actually a supplement and the regular Mustang owners manual would be expected to be in the glovebox too. Nice used original 65 GT350 owners manauls can sell for 5,000.00 + each . The Koni manual is hard to find too but not in the same price category as the owner's manual. Next hardest is the detroit locker manual. Your friend Vern would be the go to guy if wanting to find some of the original items. Keep in mind that repro items can make good place holders for originals as you find them . ;)
Thanks Bob, great advice as usual!
How do you identify an original 65 High Performance Equipment booklet? This is what I have.

You have a 66 High performance supplement. In my posted picture the 65 version is on the top.
Thank you Bob. I don't know if they ever did a reprint so is there a way to discern a difference if there is a reprint. I've probably had it for more than 40yrs. I don't want to offer it for sale not knowing exactly what it is.
TIA Roy
