Cloyes makes a great product IMO. 

That looks like a super nice car, well bought and sold.

inspect the gears for wear, cracks etc... if they aren't worn (which they probably aren't) reuse them.  I would however replace the chain.

Eric, I agree such a simple thing to fix before paint.  I would ask them to fix the issues so if any paint gets damaged it will be fixed before you receive it.  Looks like a great car.

beautiful, great job!!

Such a shame, thank you Bob for looking out.

Eric, it would make sense to me to ask LMC to set up a virtual meeting with you, Ed aka"special Ed", (I am sure Peter knows him) and the LMC sales person.  Ed could ask specific questions and view the car online in real time video. 

Ed could tell them exactly what he wanted to see and they could even put it up on a lift.  Like you, I agree LMC is a forthwith company and would have no desire to "get one over on anyone" because their reputation is at stake. 

This way you and Ed could have a call after the virtual showing and then you could make an informed offer if you are so inclined.  JMO

I don't know what Ed would charge for his services but that is about the best you can get for an expert opinion that I know of.

I wish you the best with the hunt!

looks like a very nice car, what's the asking price?

Wow, a little ambitious.... I wonder what the actual market number is.. $800-$1MUSD? 

There is someone out there salivating over this even though its the ugly child of Shelby... LOL

Go to Napa and tell them you need a rear end pinion seal.  They will fix you right up.  Also, go on youtube and look at "9" ford rear end rebuild" or "9" ford pinion seal installation" and you will learn a lot. 

The federal law requiring automatic transmissions to be VIN stamped did not take effect until January 1, 1968. In general all FOMOCO products are VIN stamped on the transmission from the beginning of 1968 model year. None were stamped prior to 1968 model year. Only 4 speed transmissions and high performance engine assemblies were required prior to January 1, 1968.

Pretty sure we discussed this in the past on crashed forum 1.0. I'm not aware of evidence that any of the 65-66 GT350 T-10M versions (aluminum/aluminum, aluminum/cast iron, cast iron/cast iron) were VIN stamped.

And the T10M1's did not come with a tag, but will have an assembly date that should precede the cars San Jose assembly date.  The HiPo C4's did come with a tag and date code, also preceding the San Jose assembly date.

Royce, 67 427 Fairlane's were stamped with the Vin on the bottom embossment of the top loader. 

Congratulations, enjoy!

Thanks Brant, love the progress!

They didn't have a Vin stamping but they have casting numbers and date of assembly stamped onto one of the flanges.
