  And 2001, a Space Odyssey: " I can't open the door Dave".....

  The issue seems to me the makers all shifted to "metric" sizes and no longer make hose in U.S. dimensions.

Just so you are aware.  You have the face panel.  It's nice but the operative relays and harness make the lights work.  Thought you might like to know.

[Wife's gotta learn.]

To the question about location - yes it was in Salem - One owner car with a book of documentation back to purchase including original invoice (all have been authenticated) - the gentleman that owned it passed away and his wife immediately listed the car as she "hated the car" husband told her he was going to the grocery store one Saturday and came back with a Shelby.  Car is a true time capsule but not perfect of course - but I am going to keep it as is how is and enjoy it - once I get it in my possession I will post some more pictures - Thank you for the comments

  Wife's gotta learn.

  On Chicago Fire, the character who plays Severide drives a Mustang.  On the older reruns it's a 68 fastback, on the newer ones that Mustang is way new.

  I recall a few Boss 429's For Sale that had 302's in them as the owner blew the motor.
    I saw my 67 GT 350 in the local newspaper.  The fellow was selling it because he wanted to add money for his future homebuying.
   Due to my qualifying for my High School "Plymouth Troubleshooting team" I got my first job at south Chicago Chrysler pre-delivery center. I was 18-19-20.  Added up numerous cool Mopar vehicles.  Which one would I buy?  None, I bought that Shelby (above)
You name it, Duster & Dart 340's, Road Runner Superbee's, Chargers. Challenger T/A's were my favorite. Wow new cars were cheap.

Yeah, sub-issue: some new tire dealers WILL NOT touch a tire (unless of course you are buying new ones) that are older than 10 years.  They say liability issues.

Yep, pulling the cluster is not easy.  Check for voltage at either the temp sensor wire or the fuel pick-up wire. 
  Tough choice to either use an OEM style voltage limiter or the new electronic type.

  Tuff call.  No part number block cast in, and I've seen better dressing of the air opening.

Well, let's add the copper washer under the nut, too.

C6 automatic or 4spd?

Good question.
  If it is an automatic, don't rule out the dipstick tube "O" ring. Way easier to fix.

well, you know.  There is a "Wanted to buy" area where the moderator will move this to.

  Hard to tell without a few more photos but looks restorable if the owners wants to do it.

And: has the proportioning valve been rebuilt?  The spring inside actually rusts apart causing issues.
  One final comment: On my tribute car which sat for 30 years, there was a ridge inside the prop valve bore that was impossible to see.  That too caused problems for a while.

JD comes through again!!
