Would anyone know the proper paint code for the Hertz gold? I use Ditzler paint pretty much. I realize powder was used in 66. Tried it in the 80s on my first Hertz, but powder didnt look right.

        Have a 65 also a 66 Hertz both hipo cars. The 65 is a punched thru hole. I am the second owner of the 65. Purchased In 1973. The 66 clearly has a different hole. Not sure of the process, but does have an area towards the bottom that looks ripped You can see in the pic.  Read an article years ago maybe in Mustang Monthly and they mentioned punched holes. For the choke. The Hertz looks like it could have used a hole saw and it ripped the bottom of the hole. Some holes may be 7/8 but my 66 isnt that big.

Hello I know Shelbys but not much about Boss 302s and Cobra Jets. I have some very early Boss parts. A 69 oil cooler adapter and a Nov. 10 1968 stamped oil cooler. I have looked but cannot find a 69 oil cooler adapter. They all seem to be 70s. Seems like a pretty early date on the oil cooler. Also has the Ford oval stamp the 70s that I have seen do not. Could they be part of the Trans Am race program? Pics included.  Thanks for any info.

Has anyone seen orange paint on their leaf springs. Just removed mine yesterday. Found the usual yellow and green stipes. Then on the pair is an orange stripe on the spring and rear clamp. Including a pic hard to see but gives an idea where the orange is. Springs have some rust, but can clearly see orange paint. I have seen orange paint on hipo flywheels and cranks. May indicate springs are for a K code car? Also have noticed on restored early Shelbys looks like the yellow and green paint has been sprayed on. Mine have always been a brushed stripe.

Have owned several early GT350s over the years. Including 1 65. Also have a few spare parts. I have this 65 3 hole wheel that I may put in my current car a 66 Hertz. Would this still be safe to use or just stay with my original wheel? This wheel looks better in the car, I see they are reproduced now for around 2,000. Would the originals be worth more? Just asking. If I dont use it may move it. Of course it needs a restoration.  Thanks

Is there any difference in my 66 Shelby cast iron trans. and regular production transmissions?  As far as gears, input shafts? I have owned a few aluminum case trans. and sometimes they would pop out of 2nd gear. Is that common?

It is an fe pan. Has 4 internal flappers or trap doors to control the oil. I have owned a couple Aviads in the past. Looks like an Aviad, because of the shape. Rounded sides not square. Welding looks very professional. Could it be road race Cobra, Nascar ? Thanks for any help. Tom
