Just wanted to give a heads up about a shift handle that isn't what it seems to be just in case a forum member or other wants one for their car. .  https://www.ebay.com/itm/126034083398. The snake should be recessed into the wood. Someone but I don't think factory or after market made this up IMO. You can find plain wood shifter handles and I think someone just glued the small snake which I have found in the past used for ear rings ,necklaces etc. and glue on to the wood. It would be better then nothing but a high price IMO for one that is incorrect. 

Maybe the seller is unaware that emblem is a repro or maybe he is being dishonest. I like to give him the benefit of the doubt . The color background is wrong. It is the mustard color looking one like all of the repros are.  Don't waste your money. He is selling two fender emblems that look bad too.  Believe me the difference is more pronounced in person compared to pictures on the internet. Concours judges and knowledgeable enthusiasts know the difference.   https://www.ebay.com/itm/295663827469

The news got out and one of our friends who wanted to remain anonymous  (CDC George Huisman ) decided to let everyone know that special Ed has turned into traitor Ed. George had some stickers made up and they ended up being plastered all over the recent Columbus All Ford Swap Meet . I had to post picture to the gallery so click on this link   https://www.saacforum.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=6836   I cornered Ed and asked him to tell me it aint so. Instead Ed proceeded to regaled me with his story about his Corvette purchase and win at a recent NCRS event. I learned more about NCRS then I ever wanted to .   I found this sticker above the urinal in one of the men's room at the show. At first I thought it was a sales ad . I scared the guy next to me when I let out a yell as my eyes focused and I comprehended the horror of what I was seeing.  I could not un see it . I have had nightmares ever since. What is the world coming to?

I found this in my collection while looking for a belt for a friend. NOS 69 or 70 Shelby GT350 (351W) Power Steering with A/C belt marked C9OE-8620-C1  . Dated 2 of 69 . This belt has the information embossed (raised) like the assemblyline and not ink printed like the repros. 150.00 plus shipping to US address only. Paypal friends and family only. PM me for any questions. Thank you for looking.

I know of several people inquiring on this forum about some of these in recent months . They are not 100% perfect but they look very close when compared to original and heads and shoulders above the other alternatives IMO. You better get them before they are gone again. I have no connection with the seller.  https://www.ebay.com/itm/285175953152

NOS assemblyline type air filter correct for 67 GT500 or 68 GT350/500 . This has the early style Manilla colored filter paper ,black rubber, proper inside and outside wire style mesh and 1 3/4 tall height .The repros look dramatically different in practically all aspects and are consequently easy to pick out. This is definitely over kill for originality for many but if you want the most correct looking filter when you open your hood here it is . Many will run a cheapo repro air filter and replace it for show.  I have seen these sell for upwards of 900.00 plus each on ebay and private sales. 375.00 plus  shipping and insurance. I also have a clean but used identical filter suitable for a survivor car because it is not show quality any more for 100.00.  Paypal friends and family only to US address please.

These are some cool tire covers that I bought about 20 years ago from Ford guy extraordinaire Dave Riley. Dave had canvas covers made up for his Boss 302 with NOS F60 15 tires. He would roll the car on the covers so that no grass ,rocks or debris would get into the tread. He had extras made up which I bought a set. They have draw strings in the back so although they were made for the F60 15 tires they will work equally well on any of the 15 inch 65,66,67 or 68 Shelby narrower tires . 225.00 shipped to your US address.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/234866680986    is the auction. Let me simply say that they are not even 65-70 Mustang shocks let alone any year Shelby shocks

 A auction on Ebay shows a wood handle said to be original which can mean many things. The auction handle is not original assemblyline IMO. The assemblyline wooden auto handles had the wood routed out for the snake to sit recessed in the wood. I have seen ones like the auction handle before. This is most likely one of the plain wooden handles (there were many different auto wooden handles that were over the counter) non assemblyline after market or owner modified.It is a early style wood handle with the set screw in the early placement but Ford was selling the plain handles then too.  I have a bag of the individual small snake emblems like used on the handles that I have sold over the years . If I had them I am sure others have too. The snake appears to have been glued on one of the plain wooden knobs. Expect push back from informed enthusiasts or if in concours on authenticity from a well informed judge.    https://www.ebay.com/itm/265997410582

I need a single or would buy a pair of used 2 piece OEM style rotors for 68/69 Mustang/Shelby. They will need to be able to turn within specs. I already have a more then few that will not. Thanks for any help with rotors or leads. PM me with any info. Thanks for looking.

Disregarding the buy it now price the description is deceiving.  https://www.ebay.com/itm/195326168926    I don't know if the seller is deceptive on purpose ,lack of knowledge or a little of both. Ether way it is a bad deal for anyone wanting a correct date coded carb for their 65 or 66 carryover as the title implys . I have contacted this seller before about incorrect descriptions with no change on the sellers part so I didn't waste my time. The description is correct except that by Sept 3 1965 all of the 65 GT350's would have been produced engines installed and all of the 66 GT350's using the 65 bodies (carryovers) would have been produced  engine . Sept 3 1965 is after regular 66 production had already started. Also the logistics of getting the carb from Holley to the engine would push the date it was mated to a engine/car even further. That date code carb is for a early regular production GT350 and not a 65 or 66 carryover.

I wanted to bring this to anyone's attention that may be searching for a 66 GT350 tach. If you want one that will pass for a original this is not it.  I don't think Branda has a dishonest intent just a lack of awareness of differences. https://www.ebay.com/itm/234679419819  The needle is a very visible difference IMO. I am reposting a comparison picture Cory posted recently to help see the difference. The  4 wire installation is another easy repro tell. No wire on a original 66 goes out to coil, green or otherwise. I sent a note to Anthony at Branda to maybe modifying the description. Branda Performance is a very valuable part of our Shelby marque community IMO.

Someone asked so I thought I would post for reference . 65-68 GT350 used BF32 from the factory . 69/70 GT350 used BF 42. 67 GT500 used BF 42 . 68-70 GT500 used BF32. The star symbol on the Autolite plug was typically seen on 65 through 67 . 68 -70 typically did not have the star on the Autolite plug. I hope this helps.

All 67 and 68 Shelby speedometers came with trip odometer. Seller is taking standard speedometers without trip and refacing them then claiming they are for 67 68 Shelby. Seller has been advised of the misinformation in the past.  With no regard for the facts the seller is being deceptive on purpose.  https://www.ebay.com/itm/134167678029

Frequent ebay seller doesn't know what he doesn't know. Andrew from MagMustangs should know better. He has a fuel pump that he claims is a NOS late 67 GT500 fuel pump . Its biggest problem is that it is for a small block  and not a big block. The pump arm has a distinct shape that is different between big block and smallblock. Given the fuel pump is a re manufactured fuel pump most likely it was rebuilt with misc parts with no regards to what the flange number indicates. I used to try and give heads up to mistake this seller would make in a helpful way but smart ass reply's in the past indicated that I was wasting my time.  https://www.ebay.com/itm/154438496731  . Please be aware.
