Sorry not a photograph ..... a blueprint drawing or sketch for your reference.

This Mustang crossed the block at Mecum Kissimmee Florida last year.

High bid was $175,000. No sale.

Hello JCL67,

If your 1967 is a GT350 I highly recommend Bob Mannel's book: Mustang & Ford Small Block V8: 1962-1969.

No 2393 is not my car. I own 2381.

If this is not exactly the steering wheel you want ..... Moto Lita will make a special order wheel.

I believe a reproduction is manufactured by Moto Lita. It is the E-Type Jaguar wheel at 15 inches.

They are made with and without rivets in the wood rim.

Mounting holes at the hub are the same. The reproduction 1965 Shelby steering wheel center fits too.

I have a copy of Autoweek December 9th, 1967. (not the 7th)

Here is a scanned copy of the photograph you are looking for.

Pete's recommendation to secure a copy of the Master Parts Catalog is a great one.

I also recall Bob Mannel's book Mustang & Ford Small Block V8 1962 - 1969 Volumes 1 & II to be of value too.

Hope this helps.

Hello Mike,

Here are some photographs of #2545 when I owned her.

These were taken shortly after the restoration was completed.

Rick (aka Engineeer)

I am the former owner of #2545.

The owner at the time of her restoration by Jeff James and the team at Tri-City Mustang (and Shelby) Restorations and SAAC 36.

Here are a couple photographs of the engine compartment.

I used a set of stripes from Phoenix Graphix to replace the Lemans stripes on my 2007 GT-H.

i have done both .... I had my original Magstars restored (re-rimmed) for Concours and I purchased a set of reproductions for radials (shakedown miles and driving). The appearance of the centers is subtlety different. If you are going Concours have the originals restored (re-rimmed).

My experience with the restored (re-rimmed) originals was that they leaked air until sealed using a black tar / rubberized material (not visible when the tire is mounted). The a couple of the restored (re-rimmed) originals also took quite a bit of weight to balance. That may have been due to running reproduction polyglas tires or the fact that I had the tire shop orient the valve stem to the tire lettering aligned the same on all tires.

The reproductions with radial tires took almost no weight addition to balance. Yes, I had the valve stem aligned to tire letting aligned the same on all tires with the reproduction Magstars and radials too. If you are going to run radials, drive aggressively .... I would recommend: go with the reproductions.
