A nice show, but mostly late models. I had my 69 there 3 years ago.

I looked at this car in Sarasota, FL last Saturday.  Number 1947.  Gulfstream Aqua. 

Beautiful paint, but reproduction fenders and other issues.

I had good luck with this company, but they only restored my console gauges.

Thank You!  That looks like a dimple, and not a punch out.  I think the earlier years actually had a punch out. 

Does anyone have a photo of the punch out in the firewall for the clutch rod for a '69 Shelby?  I'm looking for a photo from an automatic car that has not had the punch out removed yet.  Thanks.

I'd add to the advice already given to check if the FE block in the car you are considering has been overbored to .030 or not.  If it has, there are lower chances the car's cooling system will cool the engine very well.  If I ever bought another big block, I would want a standard bore block, and have 8 sleeves installed instead of boring it.

I'd personally buy a GT350 and buy a stroker crank to make it 408 or 427 CID and 550HP reliable horsepower.  There's a guy out in Indiana with a yellow '69 GT350 that built a really nice, tastefully modified car.  I don't remember his name, but he would be a good person to contact. 

It's not cheap, but bossniner on eBay has a lot of stuff for sale. 

If you could find a NOS original that would be the best option.  I found mine on eBay but that was 10 years ago.

Thanks for the photo in the link. 

Great ideas.  Thanks.

Does anyone have a photo of what it is supposed to look like? 

Does anyone know where I can get the blackout for the trunk lock?

Here's mine off an early Shelby. 

I heard it will become an AI data center.

I remember those Michelin-Tire-Man looking winter coats. 

I used Vacuum Orna Metal in Michigan.
