The quarters are now sold.  Thanks!

Don't see these very often anymore!

Matched pair of original Ford NOS Fastback Quarter Panels in the desirable early red oxide finish.

Both quarters are included and are being sold as a package.

These are genuine Ford pieces, not reproductions, and are getting nearly impossible to find - especially a matched set.

Located in San Antonio, Texas.

Thanks!

Good morning!

Below is a link to my auction for 5 original restored Cragar Wheels. This will close late Monday afternoon.

Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Thanks!

Please keep us posted on anything you find.

Thanks!

Bump - the reproduction wheel is still available - thanks!

That's correct. This is not a Carryover. As mentioned below, only the first 252 66 GT350s were built from 1965 Mustangs. The dealer is incorrect.

I wish first wheel was second wheel style 

Hey Tim,

That same shop is now producing the slotted 65 wheels. PM me if you want the contact info for the owner, Mark.

Thanks!

The 3-hole steering wheel is sold!

The Branda repro is still available.

Thanks!

Are there any centers for the wheels? Or what would you order?

I would use a repro center cap (or you can run without one).

Here's the one from Branda, but they haven't had them in stock for a while.

In fact, the one wheel from Branda that was mounted / used was mounted to a 66 Mustang. I used a horn switch that was mounted on the dash, as the car was built as an R Model Restomod.

Can you tell me if these would work on a 66? if so, is there a horn modify that cam be done?

Great question! These can definitely be used on a 66. However, I'm not aware of a way to use a horn button that's mounted in the center of the wheel (others may be able to correct me).

What I have seen people do on a 66 is run a horn switch to the dash (just like in a 1965 GT350). In fact, a good friend of mine has a Carryover and uses a 1965 GT350 steering wheel and he mounted a horn switch just like on 65 GT350s.

I hope that helps!

The second steering wheel is a reproduction originally sold through Tony Branda. This one was originally produced in the 80s, and I purchased it as an NOS repro. The wheel has been mounted, and it comes with the mounting hub. One neat point about the hub: it's been modified to cancel turn signals (see the red arrow in picture 3).

Price is $475 plus the ride.

Thanks!

I have two 1965 GT350 Steering Wheels for sale.

First up: an exact replica of the 3-hole 1965 GT350 Steering Wheel. These are produced by Springall out of the UK. These wheels were replicated to exact specifications using an original 1965 3-hole wheel. These wheels are absolutely stunning! This one has never been mounted / driven, and it comes with the optional (from Springall) hub. 

Price is SOLD plus the ride.

I appreciate the well wishes, Karl. Truly!

Have a great weekend,
Ruben

I have to say: I never thought that a set of steel wheels listed for sale would cause so much consternation.

Tim - thanks for sharing! I remember you sharing that story at last year's SAAC about having to create 3 steel wheels. I cannot imagine how much of a pain that must have been!

Bob - thanks for the clarification. Always appreciated!

Karl - I hear you, and let me ask you this: if someone replaces a fender on their Shelby during their restoration, does this make the Shelby a "recreation"? What about both quarters and a floor pan? Where does one draw the line? I don't know your car, but I'm guessing at least something has been replaced, even if it's just wearables. Does that make it a recreation? I hope not.

Also, you keep referencing 1966 Shelbys. Do you realize that there were two widths of 15" steel wheels in 1965? 5.5" and 6". Does restoring an original 15x5.5" as a 15x6" wheel make it a recreation? I beg to differ. And you're entitled to your opinion.

In any case, I look forward to how this auction ends.

Thanks to all!
