Here is an Ebay auction for a 65 early 66 engine mount setup by Ebay member "snydly427" with a Buy-It-Now of $1,850.00 or make offer:

For sale is a restored original set of 1965 to Early 66 Shelby GT350 HiPo 289 Motor Mounts. Also correct for early Carry Over 66 GT350 Shelbys. Condition is Used.

These original brackets and frame mounts were degreased, soaked for 2 days in Evapo-Rust, lightly glass bead blasted / buffed with steel wool and then lightly SEM satin clear coated to help prevent flash rust.

The upper rubber donuts are Daniel Carpenter reproductions, the larger block rubber insulators are genuine NOS insulators (later 3 holes on the bottom style).

The upper brackets still show the clamping marks from when they were formed by the manufacturer. I was BARELY able to preserve one of the "3 legged A" makers mark on the flat face of one of the brackets. It is very hard to see the makers mark but is there on one of the upper brackets, barely. The upper brackets have some pitting and nicks/scratches in the metal (especially where the upper rubber donuts mount onto the bracket). I did not want to do anything like grind the metal smooth, I wanted to preserve the current condition of the brackets. One of the brackets has a very slight "bend" at the end of the bracket where it bolts to the block, barely noticeable but wanted to state that.

The lower stud/welded brackets show light pitting where the insulator meets the bracket. I did my best to replicate the "heat soak" where the welds are from the factory. I used a propane torch to alter the color of the steel a little to give it a "freshly welded look". The studs were treated with Gun Bluing to replicate the look of the darker heat treatment the studs got before being pressed in.

The original carriage bolts were also treated with the gun bluing to give the heat treatment look as well. There is also some light pitting in the bolts, both on the shaft and on the flat tops.

All reproduction washers/nuts/bolts were from Virginia Classic Mustang and AMK, as were the frame mount bolts.

I restored these mounts to the best of my ability, these are rather close to concours restored mounts. Again, these are bare steel and cast iron pieces that have received a light coat of SEM satin clear paint for protection. I did my best to add in as many photos as eBay would allow me while still showing important details.

Mounts will be very well packaged and protected during priority shipping. If shipping outside of the continental US is needed, please message me first.

Feel free to ask any questions!

For sale is a restored original set of 1965 to Early 66 Shelby GT350 HiPo 289 Motor Mounts. Also correct for early Carry Over 66 GT350 Shelbys. Condition is Used. Comes with Extra insulators and an extra bracket.

These original brackets and frame mounts were degreased, soaked for 2 days in Evapo-Rust, lightly glass bead blasted / buffed with steel wool and then lightly SEM satin clear coated to help prevent flash rust.

The upper rubber donuts are Daniel Carpenter reproductions, 1 larger insulator rubber block mount is a genuine NOS insulators and the other is a new Scott Drake reproduction. Also included is a media blasted pair of original insulators (Media blasted prior to my ownership). The rubber is still pretty firm but the bare steel needs to be painted.

The upper brackets (3 included) no still show the clamping marks from when they were formed by the manufacturer. I was not able to preserve one of the "3 legged A" makers mark on the flat face of one of the brackets. All 3 of the upper brackets have pitting and nicks/scratches in the metal (especially where the upper rubber donuts mount onto the bracket). I did not want to do anything like grind the metal smooth, I wanted to preserve the current condition of the brackets. All brackets are straight and un-bent.

The lower stud/welded brackets show pitting where the insulator meets the bracket. I did my best to replicate the "heat soak" where the welds are from the factory.

I've had these original Ford HIPO mounts on my shelves for decades. It's time to clear them out as I'm not building any more cars. The only parts that may not be original Ford are the nuts holding the frame mounts to the bracket. The frame mounts are specific HIPO mounts. I have double boxed the mounts so hopefully the gorillas don't destroy it.
