This whole thing should serve as a reminder that we shouldn't merely assume that an MFG isn't willing to make something that they are not longer producing. Sometimes it's just a matter of asking nicely.
Like 22F batteries?  ;D

I will call Burton today to ask nicely if they would mind pumping out a few 22F batteries after these panels... excellent suggestion  ;)
I think the point being is some vendors are a lot more open to working with people than others. It's awesome that you had a good experience with Burton. We've been chasing these battery guys down for years from one to another and nobody's ever been interested in in touching any of it, not only the 22F but the reverse post as well.
The E 7015 black wall tires came about after years of discussions that I had with John Kelsey any finally agreed to make some. Two years after he called me and said I had no idea these would be so popular.

Quote from: Fast Fords on January 28, 2026, 11:15:39 PMThe last 5 digits of the VIN look different. The 3, the two and the 5 look different in size and font style. That is to me but Pete thinks they look fine.
Which one? Tag on dash - the VIN on the aprons? If only one looks funny I'd say it's ok if all look messed with I'd walk away.
This is why it takes someone who has extensive knowledge of VIN stampings and not just someone who has seen one or two anomalies. Yes there are some assembly line miscues but you need to study a long line of stampings to see patterns or how things were "fixed" when gone wrong. I've seen the stampings on this particular car and align with Pete who didn't exclusively say they were alright he said based on what he saw from a picture they looked ok but couldn't authenticate from a distance. It might even take being stripped to bare metal top and bottom to authenticate

Quote from: Coralsnake on January 27, 2026, 07:50:59 PMI hope someone ends up with a yellow KR convertible. They are very special and unique.
But all the 4 speed A/C ones are spoken for.
Ted and Rae Segerstrom's collection famously includes all five of the special yellow, 4-speed, air-conditioned 1968 GT500KR convertibles produced.
4? nope its 5. I might know a thing or 2 about them  ;D 
ps: only 1 yellow 4spd AC 350
