Friendly FYI... the Z2 radiator code is for an auto trans car. Y2 and G2 are manual trans.

Shouldn't the stamp read 4201S?

That's what I was thinking too...

Sure, you could make adjustments by removing the drums. It's quite rare to see an original pair of backing plates with the knockout plugs still there.

Fred: With all the pumps you currently have, might be educational for others to see what a real stamp looks like.

The 4201 stamping sure looks strange.

Seller ended auction because item is no longer for sale...

Duncan, did you get a buyer?

The lower leaves would be valuable as individual items.

Most likely is due to low participation of the forum. With a very specialized car like a K code Mustang where very few were made, it's hard to find individuals to participate in the forum. I've watched the new SAAC forum go to very high traffic when it first went online to now having less than a dozen posts per day. Our cars are just too rare!

I think NPD does, but you can order directly from Eaton at http://www.eatonsprings.com

K codes automatically came equipped with the special handling package, which included higher rate front/rear springs and shocks, quicker ratio steering and a larger sway bar. The option was available on all other V8 Mustangs, so it is not necessarily specific to only a K code. Also, when the GT was introduced, the handling package was included with the GT option.

Eaton spring probably makes the best reproduction of rear leaf springs and coil springs. They claim to have the original blue prints. The only issue with the rear leaf springs is that they will not have the engineering number on the lower leaf. If you have your originals, you can swap out the lower leaves or even have Eaton do it for you.

Otherwise, upper/lower control arms and strut rods are the same for all. Steering linkage is different between V8 and I6 cars with additional differences between power steering and non-P/S.

If they are anything like originals, you'll need ear plugs!

As I said in the previous post, either wheel would be "correct" for your car. Consider the possibility of them being installed by a dealer instead of ordered from the factory. Also consider that it was a relatively uncommon option and could have taken time for each of the assembly plants to deplete the argent color wheels.

I think you mean argent or charcoal. I'd say that a very late '65 may have had the charcoal ones, but argent would be acceptable also.

The VIN on the block included in the auction is actually listed in the registry.

I saw the auction car when it was here in NC, it's pretty rough, but can be restored. The interior was ivy gold/white deluxe, exterior white. Pretty sure it was a real GT, but don't remember specifics.

Should be fine, especially if you use lacquer.

Yes, flat black with just a bit of sheen is what you're looking for.

The rally-pac would be crinkle finish in parchment. The inside of the pods should be low gloss black.

Yes, I've seen the G2 in Shelby's also. So what the heck is the difference between a Y2 and G2?

For a manual trans. I presume? Makes a big difference. A C4ZE-Y2 can fetch over $500 for a core if it has a later '65 date... which makes it correct for a Shelby also.
