I went over my Parents house and was digging though some old parts I had left there years ago..I had a feeling I had the correct hipo fan shroud there in the garage..I went to the side of the yard and there it was!!,still sitting there!! it still has the correct rubber pad with the staples on it and in tact!!..the only thing wrong is it metal sheared at the top of the shroud..but I should be able to fix that...I pulled it off a 65 A Code coupe years ago.I didnt even know what it was at the time either..I figured I just might need it someday..Well Someday Is definitely Here!!
Hi Po Fan Shroud... More good Luck..

That's awesome. I'm still hanging onto a pair of '65 hubcaps that were on my first Mustang when I was 18. Maybe someday I can use them too.

Makes me chuckle to hear your story (LOL)
...It forced recall of a similar incident with me a couple years ago...I was visiting the ol' childhood homestead, 1800mi away in the midwest, when I went into the attic and found a long fogotten part to my 67 A-code fastback. It was the fold down section to my back seat. It was likely in the same spot that I placed it over 30 years prior!...It was very dusty and in pristine condition. I recall removing and replacing it with a customized speaker panel, so that I could spare cutting into my interior panels or the trap door and freeing up about 30lbs of excessive weight. That was in 1972! Boy was I happy to spot it. It is now reunited with the same A-code fastback that I have owned since high school...and we're both happy!
Just goes to show that there is still hidden and long forgotten treasures out there...treasure to someone like you or me
...junk to all others! 
Thanks for the sharing.

Hey, Gerald, I have a pair of '65 hubcaps that I found in a tire shop 18 years ago. I may never need them, but now we both know where to find 2 more!

This past year I discovered that when my brother replaced the fenders and did a semi-restoration on my kar in 1989, he put the original front fenders and some other parts ('65 pony woodgrain instruments with glove box door, also spare standard glove box door) into storage in his shop. I returned the favor by digging up part of his first bicycle (late 1960's which had a tall stick shift, redline tires, metallic green paint), and a chain-guard that looked like a muffler. The part I found was the stick shift which is now mounted on a wall in his body shop.
