Hello Folks

Peter the American living in the UK 

So approx circa 2002, I purchased an Acapulco blue 1968 GT500 KR a few months after Carlisle, It was for sale at Carlisle by a Ford dealer, the salesman said if the car sells the owner is buying a Navigotor from him.

Car was $25,500. I went over and under the car with Peter Geisler on the phone in Florida at the Carlisle show to determine what we had. Car looked stunning, I believe it was a PA car or found in PA and had one repaint. Miles were lowish and the body was superb with no accident or rust history

I didn't buy the car at the show and it haunted me. I finally called the seller and bought the car at $25,500

I took it to a few shows and used to call it the thousand dollar car as it would always do something that cost me a thusand bucks when I took it out. Breakdowns.

A few details on the car. I (don't kill me!!!) used POR 15 inside the rear quarters and distinctly remember somehow getting it very far into the front of the quarters with a brush and my young body was able to contort to do so.

I also bought, at carlisle, ar restored and correct carb for the car for under $500, it may have been $450 when installing it, one of the stud mounts was stripped and I used two part epoxy to set it in place. Never was an issue

I still have the scars from replacing the top rad hose that was insanely tight to fit.

I put a ton of money into the car over the months and when it broke down on me again in florida I decided to sell the car.

Orlando Mustang brought the car to the Charlotte auto fair and I spent days speaking toa zillion people about the car and someone finally came up with $48k to buy it.

Had a lovely batch of paperwork and a few bits that had been removed and saved

I am pretty sure he was a dealer and later resold the car.

I am sorry, I can't remember the cars number

I did send info into the Registry and remember it was a rambling story so I will cringe when I see what I reported if they received and posted it to the books.

Acapulco blue. Sold in Sepulveda Calif, 428 CJ/Auto, Very very solid car, Had ten spokes installed.

At one of the first shows I attended in Florida where I was living I met a guy named Mark, had a Boss 302, may have been yellow and a Black Gt350 with a Paxson. I believe he passed or at least sold the Gt350 as saw someone had bought it a few years bakc.

Hello Folks. Would someone with more non Mustang knowledge then me possibly be able to ID the tailshaft with out rear shifter mount holes? Fairlane?

It's listed on David key as various cars including 428 68/69 Mustang

Trans is a big in and output

No tag

I don't recognise the trans mount foot and shifter holes are not in the rear

Other tail is a small block I have

Was at the AACA Museum today in Hershey Pa

A lovely gent pulled in with a 65 GT350. He took the time to chat to me about the car and it's amazing history. Being stolen years ago and returned to him in 2010

Also spoke to another gent with a 67 GT350 with an equally neat story about the cars restoration

I am sorry I don't have names but gents like this making Shelbys even more interesting are what it's all about. Thank you gents

I know you are hunting these

Hello Folks,

Need to replace my idler arm on 2170. Very small amount of play but like to keep things fresh

Can you suggest a supplier? Don't need NOS, nor show car correct. Just correct fitting. Branda? Virginia Mustang?

Cheers. Peter

Hello

Folks, Just wondering if anyone lives in Tulsa area.

I purchased 2 cars in that area from a well known person and am having a nightmare getting copies of titles and bills of sale for them from this person

Getting the cars after that may be another issue but I don't know yet

Cars were bought and paid for in January and checks were cashed.

This is a well known person in the Mustang circles. He may be having some personal issues so I am not looking to hurt his repuations. Just get my title copies, get the titles fed ex'ed to my shipper and get the cars collected

He says he texted me the titles and bills of sale, I did not receive them. he also told another huge person in the Mustang community who is not nearby that he would send him the title photos, No dice

Thank you. Peter in the UK

I will most definitely pay for your time and efforts.

PM may be best, I can call you so no costs to you.

A few weeks ago I attended and showed 2 cars at the NEC expo centre in Birmingham England. At the show I spoke to dozens of dozens of folks. No one however was an elderly gent who spoke to me and my wife three times. He had an awesome story. He moved to America from the UK with his young wife and child with 100 pounds in his pocket and a hard work attitude. He moved to the states and worked for GE. He was doing very well and was told he had a job for life if he wanted it. He told story after story about how much he loved the USA and working for GE. Then he saw a 67 Mustang in the dealership and had to have it. As he knew he would eventually move to the UK again he bought a 6 cyl model but choose the fastback as he loved the design

He started looking at Shelbys and really wanted one of those and was in the process of saving up for one to trade his fastback for but it was no to be. One day his wife, just before he left for work, said she was going back to the UK and that was that. he packed up and moved back with her, taking his 67 Fastback with him shipping it on the Queen Elizabeth!!!

So in chatting with him I enquired if the car was possibly for sale and he said it would be "for the right price" So I was interested as you would be :-)

I set up a meeting with him after the show ended Sunday night, We were 3 hours from home and he was a further hour from our house so wanted to tie the visit into this trip. It was not to be. His ride to the show (a 68 Charger) had mechanical trouble so me and my wife drove home with hopes to see the car one day.

A week later I rang up Herbie and spoke to him and he was wanting me to see it in the spring so I could have nice weather to inspect. YEAH RIGHT, Like I would be able to wait. Long story short I drove 4 hours last night and stayed in a hotel and then saw the car this AM. She was a tired old 67 but remarkably solid having been in storage since 1978 after a run in with a hedge put it off the road.

What I adored about the car was the dash, you will see what I mean when you see the photos.

With the purchase came a briefcase that he said contained all the documents on the car. I figured it would be the usual. A nice spread of receipts with few meaningful bits. BOY WAS I WRONG.

I have had well over 150 Mustangs, some with insane levels of documentation but never had this sort of paperwork from day one of ownership and since. Letters to USA car dealers ordering parts, tech specs. Owners card, Orig owners manual, safety brochure and windscreen card, First payment receipt, selling salespersons card, Dealer deal sheet, invoice, window sticker.....gobs and gobs of it including the mirror hang tags from the Queen Elizabeth
