I have a Mallory Comp 9000 distributor in my clone. IT has an ugly big RED cap. Can I paint it, or will I wreck it by doing so? I can only find red replacement caps and they are $50 each! The coil is also red, so I figure I can paint that, too.

I'm looking for a vintage looking High-rise intake to replace an S1MS Cobra manifold. Anybody have anything interesting?
-
UNREAL!!! That is way way too much $$$$
-
An S2MS he references in his auction sold for #3250???!!!!?
Holy crap!

After seeing it on ebay, I hold firm to my original assessment - 20-25K TOPS!! There is a lot of work to be done on this car and you will double/triple this investment quickly.

A date coded NOS 4-speed carb which looked very clean and reportedly never run with gas sold on ebay recently for only $800. I can't access ebay from this computer, so sorry about not including a link.

What the heck is going on!?!? Are Shelby and SAAC disbanding - sure looks like it. So much for us vintage guys.....
-
Hmmm two different ebay accounts for the same business/person??? Good way to set up some Shill bidding, me thinks. I'm not accusing, only pointing out the possibility.

Rustoleum takes a LONG time to dry, but traditional high temp engine paint also works very good and dries fast! I used VHT on mine and it was super easy and dries fast so you can put on multiple coats the same day.

Seems like you got a great deal!

You purchased the above said car or is it for sale?

I think you are also smart to hold your ground. It wouldn't hurt still to put a pile of Franklins on the hood to show that you are ready and serious to buy now. Everybody here keeps telling you "...only 5 thousand..." That may be true, but you aren't paying $5K, you are looking at more of a 50-60K expenditure.
Now, if this was for your BRIDE, and she loves the car and the color combo - things are in a different league for you. I'd gladly fork over an extra $5K plus to see my wife happy and supportive of my passion in a Mustang, instead of buying diamond earings! I haven't seen too many nice red with white pony cars available. I'll be the first to tell you that white pony interior is absolutely awesome and chicks love it!
My first 'stang was a Rangoon red '65 vert with white interior. Classic! My current '66 has white pony interior and I get oohs and aahs all the time. That said, nobody's holding a gun to your head that won't prevent you from putting your favorite color options and equipment in whatever Mustang you choose down the road - original or not.

Go to his house, give him $25K in CASH and tell him your offer expires when you walk out the door.

I run those 80K mile tires on my daily driver car and love them! I had no idea they were available in a white wall. Let us know when you have a chance to visually inspect them and please post a picture when you can, showing the stripe dimensions. If all works out for you, I'll be ordering a set for my mustang, too!!!

So after sitting for about 10 days, I fired it up last night. It was cool here - about 50 degrees. Ran perfectly for 30 minutes, with no stalling out. I didn't do a thing since I've noticed the problem. It was a warm day (about 80-85) last time I drove it and noticed the problem. It was sitting at a show all day after a 40 minute drive. At the end of the day, had trouble with the starting and stalling at stops.

I like the broomstick jack stand. Where do I get one of those?

What a cool dad you are to let your daughter have such a great car. My wife would never allow it. Not safe enough, she would say. I've driven classic Mustangs for 15 years now and I've never been in an accident. You pretty much need to pay attention when you are driving these cars!
