Hi all, I picked up this valley Ford Parts catalog and cannot find any copyright or year in it. Does anybody have an idea of the year of this catalog?  The Valley Ford Parts story talks about Bill Norton as if he no longer was the owner of the company as a hint.
Thanks
Cory

Bill Norton was awesome I had the opportunity to experience his personality many times. He taught me many things.

98SVT - was 06GT

Norton was very knowledgeable and was one of the first to start reproducing rare parts. The cover with the Red convert was shot at Norton's. We shot the Leno cover at Shelby's skunkworks in Whittier. That's Norton's freshly restored original 66 GT350 convert and Leno's Mark Garish built aluminum Cobra replica in the background. Fun times.
Previous owner 6S843 - GT350H & 68 GT500 Convert #135.
Mine: GT1 Mustang, 1998 SVT 32V, 1929 Model A Coupe, Wife's: 2004 Tbird
