Great look!!! You gotta love the Arvinodes - not only do they sound better but I think they look better than the tranverse.

Jack

Great! Hope to see you there and personnally thank you for all the useful information you have provided. Look for my 65 Koupe, Burgandy with white top - probably in the occasionally driven class.

Is anyone planning on attending the MCA show in Mustang, Oklahoma on June 4-6 and are you bringing your Kar??

Here is a pic of my rear tag, it is a January 65 Dearborn Kar.

Jack

I got a better look at the tag and it is definately "921". I will try to post some pics later.

Jack

Mine is either 921 or 971 it is hard to read laying on my back. Will try to get a better look over the weekend. The whole number is WCZ-H and then below that is 3.50 5AB 921 (or 971).

Jack

That seems like a fairly low sale price for a solid fastback with the original drivetrain.

Jack

Fred, your knowledge of these cars second to none! You are ablolutely right in saying this is what I have except with a flat head rather than tapered as shown in your link. I can easily see how the tool would work on the the screws. I have a friend with a pretty good collection of snap on tools and see if he has something like this.

Were these screws commonly used on the rally pac yokes?

Jack

mcfly, thanks for the reply but the screw slots on my screws do not meet or connect in the center of the screw and the slots start at the outside of the screw. The center of the svrew is solid since the slots do not meet. I will try the link you provided to see if they have something like mine.

Jack

Thanks guys! Mine are like pan head screws with 3 offset slots going from the outside of the screw head towards the center but not all the way to the center so the center section is solid. If the outside slots were connected (and they are not) it would form an equal leg "Y". It's almost like it would be some sort of 3 blade spanner or collet wrench but smaller. I will try the locking pliers as I do not believe I will find the correct tool.

Jack

RalphJr, thanks for the reply. They are definately not torx head screws as I have torx drivers and they do not work.

Jack

I went to take my rally pac off to repair the clock and foung that the yoke that attaches to the steering column is held on by some sort of special screw with a head that a phillips or slotted driver will not fit. What type of driver do I need for this??

Jack

Tony, It might help to have some pictures and a price.

Jack

Did we come out of the recession and go head long into a very steep inflation? Did I miss something? I, for one, hope he gets close to his asking price (except that it means I probably need to raise my insurance).

Jack

As a coupe guy, I hope he gets his asking price but it does seem a bit high to me also.

Jack

Marv,

I hope you have a speedy recovery!

Jack

jr.S, thanks for the reply and the picture. Your install looks great. Did you use the regular jute underlayment or the heat shield?

Jack

Has anyone used the "Raylon" carpet from NPD? I want to replace the carpet in my 65K and am not necessarily looking for a concours correct replacement just one that looks good and wears good.

Jack

I realize the material is very different, but I have had very good luck cleaning my white vinyl top with "Simple Green" and a soft brush. This has not harmed the top (I put a vinyl treatment on it after cleaning) and is also not harmful to paint.

Jack

Blue engine paint??? As said before, a lot of mixed signals on this one.
