I am looking for a 9 inch rearend housing for my  son's 66 mustang.  Does anyone have experience with the aftermarket units out there?  He running a modified 289, nothing outrageous.  Thanks

If you're in SF, there's a good shop in Livermore that does nothing but rear end work.

My friends uncle has owned 6s1385 for decades. It's been a northern car it's entire life but Unfortunately, it's sat in his garage and my friend has interest in getting in back on the road again. He told me the car has a tow hitch on the back and there are stories that this car was used to tow a cobra to races.

I remember seeing another photo here or somewhere else and I wonder if that's the same car? The photos or events would be from NorCal or possibly SoCal. Any help would be much appreciated.

The car has significant body modifications making a restoration extremely expensive.you would have to be happy with the way the car sits both in terms condition and price. I have a ton of photos of the car for anyone interested.

If you do it at the pinch welds, there is a likelyhood you will damage the floor pan

There is a notch at the pinch welds where the factory jack is supposed to go and that was the spot he pointed at

Watch the video on where to jack up and where to best but jack stands. This the way that myself and the vast majority do it.    https://youtu.be/HcH4D2RjaKM

Bob, I chatted with a mustang/shelby restoration guy and he stated that I should jack up at the notches in the pinch weld as that's the factory designated location. He said if I were to use jackstands, I should put a 2x6 under the frame rails to prevent damage and crushing.

I helped judge Saturday. We had stacks of moving blankets which some chose to use but others didn't. While it was certainly a warm  day, it wasn't anywhere near as hot as it's normally for Sonoma.

So if I understand the schedule correctly, no need to attend Thursday unless signed up for the drive?

Guys, it's going to be in the low 80s so not that bad at all. Use 95476 for zip to check weather.

Guaranteed?

What's that old saying, "You get what you pay for" 🤣

The insurance market for all asset classes have been climbing. Look up reinsurance and you'll see that everything is intertwined. We saw flood/hurricane losses affect our rates on the west coast and the fires on the west coast have affected overall casualty/fire insurance throughout the nation.

Apologies in advance if this topic has been previously discussed as a search didn't yield any results.

It's my understanding that hertz cars used to have a stigma and were discounted from a value perspective. However, in recent years, that has changed and now they are on par with some of the rarer hertz cars ie 4sp commanding a premium.

Assuming all other things being equal condition wise, would an automatic 350h be worth approx the same as an automatic 350?

It's weird that a rather mundane article would cause so much drama.

Your post

If that were my car, that painter wouldn't get paid until the plate reappears. Someone in the shop stole it as a souvenir

I did send the link to Dave.

I checked eBay but it appears the auction has been removed.

Just a heads up on this car which was on eBay but didn't meet reserve at 197k and it's also posted here for sale.

The current owner is a body shop fix and flip guy named Matt Veale out of Nevada. The car was pretty rusty and he had to cut out floor pans and also other areas underneath. He claims that the drive train is all matching but based on the photos, it appears that the transmission is not matching. I pointed this out and he got pretty irate and hung up on me.

I saved all the photos into an album and will share with anyone that may be interested.
