Current owner please contact me, I have original parts for 6s383 that I owned for 20 years and sold back to owner #2 in 2020.

As stated multiple times above, Bruce likely has the most experience, can provide anything from a complete kit to include the new T5Z, to any single part.  Yes the driveshaft will need to be shortened, but you would be better served retaining your original, and buying a new aluminum shaft.  That mod is the best mod you can do to these cars.  The stock T5Z comes with a 2.95 first gear and will be really short with a stock 3.89 rear.  You can get the T5Z with a taller first gear, or drop to a 3.50-3.70 rear. 

The seller posted the Ford VIN on BAT contrary to the suggestions of many.  He finally took it down.  While I don't know the car, appears it is in need of many corrections based on the pictures and commentary.  Cool story never the less.   

I'm scratching my head on the hood corners at the headlight buckets,  aftermarket hood?   IDK

I owned 6s383 (5 speed/Paxton) presently on BAT for 19 years and sold it back to the 2nd owner in 2019.   

As you stated below, I declined your original offer.

You're pissed off because you were late to the game on a $75 item and someone else purchased it?     

My lack of response?  I responded to your 2nd offer when I returned home from work.   My apologies if my work commitments don't align with your expectations.

Really? over a $75 item that I was 100% transparent on?  The price of a good lunch and you attempt to throw me under the bus because you are butthurt? 

The funny thing, I almost just threw the mirror in the trash when I initially opened the box because the thought of dealing with people like you simply isn't worth the very few $

Based on my experience earlier today, I would suggest caution if dealing with this member / seller.

John Kutcy, You're kidding me,  right?    jerk. 

First you ask me to ship to Canada at the same price as CONUS (based on the address you provided it was ~$30 more and I declined.   I left home and drove to a business meeting 1.5 hours way.   Returned home later this evening to see you had countered AFTER the item was sold.  Then in your email you attempt to extort me suggesting you are willing to take a chance on a newbie "others may not"  Here was my email response (in red)  to that:

I had to run to another meeting, just returned home.  It has now sold locally.

"I'm willing to take a chance on you as a new member.  Others may not."   Son, that's funny..... I suspect the site shows me as a 'newbie' as this is one of my few posts since their crash a while back.  I'm 64, purchased my first GT500 and joined the SAAC in 1978 and have owned and own a number of Shelbys, BOSS cars, Panteras, 428CJ cars, Vipers,  etc, etc since. 

All over a $75 item that I've been nothing but 1000% honest and transparent on. 

Randy knows of me, we corresponded some years ago when I purchased "Whitey" a 68.5 CJ car from a friend of his in San Diego (unnamed here) that Randy built the motor on.  I did that $75k deal on a phone call and handshake. Earlier this year I sold a Shelby to a person 3000 miles away who I've never met but have emailed over the last 19 years.   He sent me a check for $180k then had the car picked up.   

[SOLD]

Great, thank you...

I'm shown as a newbie probably because I've seldom posted since the site crashed.  Guessing the clock restarted  ;^)


SOLD to Greg.....

The bottom of the mirror I'm selling looks like the picture above, the base machining even goes to the center of the front mounting hole as shown above. 

[XV- P]

I think I can barely make out some markings on the outside of the glass with a magnifying glass, almost looks like XV- P but its super hard to tell. Not sure if that helps..   thanks

still looking, perhaps 9-XV-C      or J AX 4 upside down   IDK

are the bottom of the letters toward the outside edge of the glass ?

For sale, I picked this up 20 years ago for my GT350, it has been sitting in a box on a shelf since.  I don't know its origins, you likely know more about this than I do.  Marked "DS 10021"   very good condition, not perfect.  $75 shipped CONUS.   Direct email is jknott@erols.com    thank you
