Yes, 1970 GT 500. Original paint, paper barrier still in place when I took the doors apart..

Same - my June 69 built car has bolt in glass, with proper date codes.

Are you in Charlotte? I'm just south of uptown and have a 70 GT500. Not for sale, but I've had a few come up word of mouth.

So the valance would not have any body color overspray on the back?

What a story wrapped around two small, overpriced parts that no one is looking for. I can appreciate the "treasure hunting" aspect, but you still have to be able to tell what's treasure and what's not. Indiana Jones wasn't gathering things from the Sears catalog to put in museums..

I have an extra pair of originals if you need them. For a sportsroof. I'm about to put my interior back in over the next few weeks / months.

Believe you will find that the "small plug" is likely the round seal from the base of the antenna cable retainer that was used there. There is a smaller hole in the center where the opaque retainer sticks through as shown in the first picture. The bottom one shows two examples with the retainer/antenna removed but the seal remained. Most of the time it comes out when you yank the cable and retainer but not always on a Mustang/Shelby

Great info!

Here's my car for reference. There was a small plug there.

Great update! Hopefully the parts and car can be reunited.

A friend of mine needs fenders repaired, and I wanted to refer him to Dave Topper. Can someone PM me his contact information? I lost it somewhere along the way.

My '70 had them, I took them off when we repainted. It was delivered new to Miami. Black interior, no AC with the SCJ. I'm sure these were put on early days, if not at the dealer. Global warming aside, I'm sure it was hot back then too!

Here's an example for you.

Beltlines are DIFFERENT on a FB compared to a convertible.

Do you know the difference?

I just installed the Repops versions, and am not impressed. Their kit is for a 1970, so it mounts differently. It will flop around unless I drill a hole in my doors to screw in the ends.

I had another member on here ask for the nut as well. Let me know if you're still in need. Here's a photo of the original on the right and the one I used that came with a kit along with the new rubber.
