Ok thanks BOB... I was going to do a deep dive in my stash of goodies. Common items that will work for his car.

Did the original cars use something different in some way? Those look very generic...

Got a picture of one?

Thanks to all those that have responded to my inquiries... You have helped move this forward on its very long journey, with some lively banter Love it. Keeping up with the SHELBY faithful!!!

Jeff- Pete you guys are making it a little faster then intended! I think OL SHEL went 175 mph on the Goodyear test track not 187... I think the goal of 177 is still within range of what it is capable of! After having a total knee replacement it might be for a younger guy to give it a go, will have to see- just a little detour thats all.

Yes its for 1189 if it makes a difference.....

Thanks for responding Jeff... I see stickers on some 67 Shelbys but not others. Did some get them and others not. Plaza glass if memory serves me right, dont remember if it was under decklid and hood or if just the fiberglass late only cars without the steel liners?

Now that my car is nearing completion... I wanted to know what under hood and decklid stickers were used on a 67? Where were they placed, and did all get the same stickers. Thanks in advance!

All good my friend... No harm no foul. I did like that song back in the 70s

Still working great... Wanted to say thank you for those that chimed in for my taillight troubles. Those that might experience similar troubles could follow this along to get them all fixed up.

Since it is 427 day and I dont have much to discuss today, thought I would create a shout out for those of us that run that particular combo. Hail to the mighty 4-2-7!!!

Hi all, I picked up this valley Ford Parts catalog and cannot find any copyright or year in it. Does anybody have an idea of the year of this catalog?  The Valley Ford Parts story talks about Bill Norton as if he no longer was the owner of the company as a hint.
Thanks
Cory

Bill Norton was awesome I had the opportunity to experience his personality many times. He taught me many things.

Learned a few things there as well! I spent most of my first pay checks there, Does anyone remember the big Finger sign at the front door .......Stating LOSE MONEY MAKE A FRIEND!

Sometimes we all make mistakes... Because of the POOR/BAD venue decision the seller was probably pissed, and the new owner slipped away like a thief in the night knowing he got a bargain/steal of a price on one of the most iconic SHELBYS... the 65s.There are other auction sites, places and times that would have been a better option for seller. Something to think about when selling!

Should have chosen a better/different venue. Poorly sold, oh well!
