Does anyone have any suggestions on what paint brand/color/code to use to paint it? I have read conflicting information on whether they are semi-gloss or satin black? 

Are these 10 spokes originals? Guess I should have posted in the section for 67s, but I see more 10 spokes on 68s even though they were hubcap cars.

Guys,
So I made the mistake of ordering a set of concours wires for a 67 428, but they must be for a Thunderbird because they are too short for the tall valve covers.  Anyways, we all learn from our mistakes.  Where is the best place to buy the correct ones? I see the Branda ones and also Mustangs unlimited appears to have some from Marti.  They don't look the same, the Mustangs unlimited ones have an orange boot and say they are concours.  Anyone have experience with either and which ones are most correct?

Not mine.  Just a headsup!

Guys
What is the correct hose and where can I find one?
I am referring to the vacuum hose from the PCV to the front carb.

Having a problem with my car running too lean.  What jet size should I use in the primaries?

Guys,
What are the correct part numbers for an original set of magstar wheels? Are they a KH number or a Shelby number?  I've seen both

I haven't been able to find the VIN stamped one for my car, Shelby 0786.  The second owner who's information was previously unknown in the registry, was identified because of an old title the 3rd owner had from 1970.  Anyways, I contacted the gentleman, Harold (Butch) Clark and he told me he took the 4 speed out in 1970 in DeQueen Arkansas and that the transmission was sold for $50 but he couldn't remember to who.  Anyways, the transmission if it exists is likely in east Texas, Arkansas, or South eastern Oklahoma based on who he raced with at that time.  Yes my poor car was drag raced for 30 years.  Anyways, long story short, of course I'd love to find that RUG-S but I will take a different t one if you have it.

So I have a set of originals but they have some slight surface rust and the chrome is tired.  Definitely easy to restore but figured I'd see if I could buy a restored or NOS set instead.  Thoughts?

The red 68 has an engine out of a galaxie, and is a 69.

Buyer beware

I recently purchased a 1967 Shelby GT500 and it does not have the correct transmission.  It has a 1968 RUG-S.  I talked to the second owner, Harold Clark, who removed and sold the original transmission in 1970/71.  He told me that he had a salvage yard in Taylor, Arkansas and sold it after he put a C6 in the car.

Taylor, Arkansas is near the Lousiana and Texas borders.  The car was built on 1/24/67.
Even if you have this transmission in your car let me know and I can make it worth your while.

Guys,
I am the recent owner of 0786 and trying to find the original transmission. Believe it or not, I have talked to all 4 previous owners, they are all still alive.

So I just talked to the second owner today.  He was a drag racer and tore out the RUG-S and sold it in Taylor, Arkansas.  He had a scrap yard too I believe.  Or at least made a living out of buying and selling parts.

So anyways, I am looking for a 1967 RUG-S sold by Harold Clark around 1970/1971.  He said he put a C6 in it and back then he never thought the car would be anything special, everyone just thought it was a funny looking Mustang.

Anyways, Taylor, Arkansas is in Southwest Arkansas, quite close to Louisiana and Texas.

My car was built on 1/24/67.

I will pay a finders fee for anyone that helps me located this transmission.
