The windshield wipers on my 65 fail to go to the park position when I turn wiper switch to off. Anyone know of a remedy or at least what feature of the wiper system has failed? Thank you in advance, Paul.

That is my correct email.

John, I did NOT get any pictures. If you emailed them to me, please confirm you wrote my email address correctly. My address has an 'r' between my first and last name. Can you also post a picture of the registry writeup?

John, my apologies for missing your call(s), I've been out of the country. I did not know the intermeccanica Torino came originally with a Ford power plant let alone a Hipo 289. Very interesting car. Please do send the pictures to paulrmarvin@icloud.com.

Thank you, Paul.

$1000 plus shipping. Extensive porting and decked. I purchased this head several years ago as a spare for the R model I now no longer own. Workmanship looks excellent and I'd describe the modifications/improvements very similar to, if not exactly like, the "Valley Head Service" heads that were on the car. A good head for the construction of a high compression race motor.

Which head has the weld repair? Thank you, Paul.

Chris, it's hard to believe it was 13 years ago. I look forward to visiting with you again. Paul.

Original no stripe cars I used to own, SFM147 and SFM541. I like the look.

I have no intention of putting LeMan stripes on the car. My other cars have them though.

 Matt, please confirm what gear set is in the transmission. Thanks, Paul.

Thank you fellas. This car will provide me with many hours of enjoyment working on it as well as driving it. More updates/pictures to follow.

It's such a nice (not necessarily highly valuable) car that I'm conflicted as how to proceed. As of right now, I do NOT think I'll do the following that I had initially intended:
A) put the GT 350 aluminum plaque on the taillight panel
B) cut the dash for the oil and tach gages and
C) install the the vintage Webber system.

There's nothing better than a set of properly tuned Webbes, in performance or the visual WOW factor under the hood, but I'm partial to the appearance of the conventional 1965 GT 350 intake and carb setup.

99% finished, still fighting brake system and lights(taillights, blinkers, and brake lights).
