When was the last time you have seen a complete original set like these? Both retractors work properly. The only things missing are the tags, but you can have those reproduced and sew them on. Why get an expensive reproduction when you can have the real thing. Simply bolt in and you are done. $2500 OBO

I also have the rollbar if somebody is in dire need of it, but was planning to keep it in my car. Let me know if you need both and we may be able to work something out.

What about a 1965 Black exterior, black deluxe interior K code 4 speed fastback with original drivetrain, tranny and rearend. All has been rebuilt. I assume it is an original GT as it had the correct stamped fog light holes, wiring harness when I bought it.

The car is currently undergoing a full restoration with all NOS sheetmetal when replaced. What would be the price difference for that?

Thanks, Wallace

Now that sounds very nice!

Regarding the cleaning wheel? They make several different ones. Which one worked without damaging the grain? I thought those wheels were pretty damn abusive in comparison to sand paper. Now that I think about it, maybe that's the point. Sand paper simply smooths the paint to the level of the texture and won't get the paint in the crevices. That results in a smooth surface. hhmmmm...

My interior doors were painted black at some time, and although the original stamped texture remains to some degree, the top layer of paint is peeling away now in areas (I have no idea how they were painted/dyed or prepped). There is black underneath this peeling layer, but the doors are originaly honey gold (green). My question is - How do I go about stripping down the surface enough to being able to repaint the doors again? I don't want to have to remove the doors,glass, etc.. and the car is all finished, so everything is assembled/complete at this point. I'm hoping to be able to do this by only removing the door panels (:

Sanding it down/feathering the areas would be the easiest, but I don't want to flatten the textured surface of the doors. Any tested strategies?

Thanks,

This is an early '65 Mustang - San Jose.

On a Fastback, how did the factory paint the interior floor - with body color? Red oxide? How about the metal FB folding seat pieces - namely the rear panel that must be removed to access shocks. How was the underside of this panel prepared? Body color or interior color, or other?

Thanks,

Troy

Steve,

It's a great kar. If I'm being helpful, I'd say that you need to stop using those pics on your ads. They do nothing to show off the beautiful lines of your car. If you want some tips, you can start by checking out the photo tips on my website and try copying some of the angles you see in magazines and such. You have to make people have that "Gotta have it" feeling when they see your pics - not the "what's wrong with this car" feeling.... It needs a bit of attention to detail like removing the towel, straighten seat belts, clean the car top to bottom - make is spotless! Paying a professional to photograph and/or detail it for you would be $100-$200 of very well spent money if you are motivated to sell.

Good luck!!

I am presently removing my rear fold down from my early '65. The interior has the original covers and are in great shape with no rips, tears, mice, mold, etc. These are early style with no provisions for seat belts. They were originally green and are now dyed black. Would need to be freshened up with new dye to be perfect. Not sure I want to sell, but to follow the rules I'll post a price - $1000 OBO for the complete assembly with all original/working components including latch. Hinge chrome all original with average pitting. Should be replated for a show winning car. I don't think you can find these seat covers anymore as the reproductions have seat belt provisions.

I need one for a spare. Condition need not be new, but it must be clean.

Be VERY CAREFUL about copying from pictures/magazines as most are incorrect (including mine!). If you are going to copy from a picture or so, make sure it is from the right car (there maybe only a handful).

I would keep it if you can, and have any interest in the car. Keeping an original car in the family is pretty darn cool! If you have no interest and/or have no idea how to market a special car like this (be prepared to be bombarded with questions if you post it for sale), you may want to consider consigning or selling to a dealer if you want this to be hassle free.

Thanks Doug!

Hi guys - I just won an excellent set of original vent grills for the upper roof interior assembly. Unfortunately, the panels are cut up, so I have to extract the chrome pieces out and replace into my other panels. Does anybody have a proven method to do this without breaking anything? I've heard use a dremel, but where? I would like more specifics if anybody could help. I've spent years finding these, and I don't want to harm them. I can't believe how nice they are.

Thanks,

Troy

oops, didn't read the ad - just looked at the pics in this post.

Are those snap studs on top of the doors and quarter panels???

I remember seeing this car on this site in the past, no.....?

I sent the guy a message this morning requesting pics of the backsides to see if he cut the tabs or not...Still haven't heard from him. I would love to get these if they are useable.

This guys is 1 hour from my house - I wish I could have simply traded him my panels to cut up instead of ruining such a nice set of vent panels. UUGGHHH!!!

If you can find one, the upper end of your price range might be doeable. I wouldn't sell mine for less than $60K, but that's because it isn't for sale.[Blocked Image: http://www.customshowboards.com/brant/album/medium/0011.jpg]

Join the club. I've been looking for years for acceptable replacements. I only need the interior trim peice with the full pot metal louvers installed. I am looking to replace my pitted interior pieces and this is the only area that isn't available. I don't know how you would go about restoring a set as they are fastened in there pretty darn good to the interior panel.
