Wanted to Buy / Re: WTB 67 Shifter and handle

That is correct, I had the Hurst shifter and linkage....along with the wrong transmission! I since have obtained a Top Loader and now I'm in search of a factory shifter, linkage, handle and knob.

Thanks again, the information is very helpful. Are the controls and linkage the same as on the T-10's as well?

Here's on advertised on ebay..I don't know if this is correct.

I'm not one to post just for conversation but it maybe will save someone my mistake. I'm finishing up my restoration and trying my best to stay faithful in originality within reason and budget (other than color change lime gold to nighmist, it's been fun to read the posts) the only thing I wanted to change was exhaust system with headers so it could breath better and sound better.  I knew it was going to be a struggle but come on!  I did all the stuff, valve cover off, engine up, driver's side, on and on. Of course trying my best not to nick or scratch the newly painted everything. I went with the JBA try y's thinking they would fit the best after looking at all the header reviews. I had to dent( sorry clearance) the passengers side because the hit the shock tower, clearance ( let's be honest dent ) around steering gear,  and driver's side shock tower,  there wasn't room to get the collector bolt in on the passenger side floor pan. If you're thinking about doing headers I wouldn't!

Interesting you posted this as I was considering Tri-Y's as well. I posted a question over on the Shelby Group and Vintage Mustang group  on FB asking what kind of issues people had installing them on their 67 with power steering, manual car. I received  quite a bit of feedback and comments, it appears most were successful with Patriot Tri-Y's and a drop down bracket for the power steering, some had minor issues with a z-bar clearance. No one mentioned the issues you posted above.    A friend of mine installed the set up on his 68 without major issue as well. Maybe your issue is with the JBA Tri-Y's.

Just curious, what was your plan for mufflers and pipe size?

Those aren't my finders in the picture, I just wanted to check before I tried to source a set to replace the current repo fenders on my car. I do need two fenders.  :'(

I know what NOS means, I used  the term incorrectly...is the fener something that might have been originally installed on the car or is it a factory replacement part or is it a repo part?
I am not trying to be argumentative but I think your question has been answered. Reread reply #2. "Most likely repro because it is not OEM." . If it is not OEM (Original Equipment Manufacture) then it can not be a factory replacement. The odd trademark seen in your picture is not Ford.

Okay thank you.. a repo....good communication is easily blurred on internet forums.    I saw a "most likely" and an "I could be wrong" which led me to believe we were still lacking certainty.

I agree..Lime gold isn't a bad color, kind of looks good with modern paint and a lot of clear. Funny, I've been watching videos of Jim Morrison driving his Shelby for motivation. At the beginning of this video is a car in a color similar to Lime Gold passing his Nightmist Blue Shelby.

Interesting to note...there was a thread on this site mentioning the difference in value of a Lime Gold car vice a blue or red car and that the difference was significant...so maybe in the end it's a wash. Current mindset is that it's my forever car.... but you never know.

Funny thing is that lime gold was extremely popular in the 60's but you don't see it too often these days. I've seen a couple cars with a fresh lime gold color...I admit I don't hate it, I think I could even acquire a taste for it and even like it a little....but I love Nightmist.
