I have a NOS and a used one that you can send out. NOS has the service Ford stamped on it.

Thank you

need some non 68 15x6 wheels? I got some.

Is there anyone here who lives near Mechanicsville Virginia and could do an inspection possibly in the next few days on a 68 KR convertible. A guy asked me but I cannot do it for a few reasons. We are looking specifically at the date codes of the inner structures of the car. If you can please PM me and I'll put you in touch with a prospective buyer. Thanks. Gary

Hi All,
Has anyone used Jim Woods of Rock House Racing to restore your distributor?
Thanks

im using him right now

Interesting when car hit Mecum  the pics have no Marti  report even though Marti reports have been doctored in the past.

He has done that for years and he knows better.

M mod friend Vito bought it from you.

While they never came on a 68-70 Shelby new  I'd recommend everyone have a set to protect the lights on a 69-70. I got real 1968-9 period correct NOS fog lamps in the Lucas display boxes and they come with a switch, wiring and covers. My NOS In the Ford box period correct lamp did  not come with the cover.

My old 68

Just to make sure:  The painting occurred after the box was installed on the assembly line?

  And if that is a "yes" to the years, exactly what years.

Yes it was supposed to be done for all years . You will find it in the assemblyline manual. It reads like the worker was supposed to lean over the fender and try to blackout what he could see . A small brush was apparently used. Like with other things in the assemblyline manual what was supposed to be done and what was typically done can be two different things.

so would that be flat, semi flat, semi gloss or gloss black?

They are black

thanks. Mine was black on my 70 and repainted it black when restored 26 years ago but thought I saw somewhere 69s(70) were a catch paint like a very dark gray or black(vary). Of course that's Dearborn so was wondering about Metuchin. Thanks again.

nice underneath. Are the structural plates on convertibles primer red or a diff color like slop gray  batch paint like 69s? 

Well I pulled my column out 1.5 years ago and it came out after I loosened the 2 bolts. I may sell my extra was joint as I bought a nos one from Randy S for my spare complete tilt column then when pulling out a steering box I had for 40 years saw it had a tilt rag joint on it so now I have a spare. 

Repo and the top part is toast due to the many holes  but at the price of a repo  probably  isn't a bad deal if you are building a clone. 

Hard to tell how nice without  detailed underside pics. To me that is very important as the value could be 10s of thousands depending on how the bottom looks.
