  • WTB: egine for 67 convert

    Looking for a complete and running, restored engine for a 67 convertible, non HiPo. West coast or close preferred, palleted and ready to ship. Let me know what my options would be on this: 302, 351, ?


    Also, a 390 for another project may be needed if this one works out.


    Thanks,

  • Export Brace & Monte Carlo Bar

    Thanks for the info. Since my car is coming back restored to original, I don't think I'll have support issues that rust and sagging would have caused. Also, it didn't have an export DSO, so I think I will forgo an Export Brace to keep it as dealer original appearing as possible. Any opinions on the improvement in handling with just a Monte Carlo bar?

  • HEH-T

    WOW! Great discussion and sharing of data. I'll check my Mar 01 65 and send in the trans data mid-August. Currently trekking in SE Asia, would like to meet up with some HiPo fellas if there are any in Malaysia.


    I think I have an HEH-T. My VIN is stamped longitudinally on the bottom spine of the case. Looking forward to sending in pictures for the database.

  • Wanted: Shocks

    I'd like to purchase a set of shocks for my 65 Dearborn FB. Rebuilt or rebuildable. Does anyone in the trade have a ballpark on prices for either? Were these parts date-coded, or generically stamped out?


    Thanks for your input!

  • WTB: FB interior panel trim

    I need a set of interior trim pieces that are fastened horizontally above the rear trim panels (for my 65 FB). I think that there are 6 pieces total: curved 2" strips that cover the horizontal joint. Anyone have a set, or a recommendation from whom to purchase a quality (reproduction) product?


    As you all know, some of the aftermarket stuff out there is less than ideal. I would prefer NOS if affordable; desired color is black, but not a deal-killer.


    Much obliged!

  • Bumper date codes

    I have a March Dearborn car, so I will look in the places you mentioned when I get to the shop. Hadn't checked on it before, but I read somewhere that there were codes. If you have pictures to share, that would be great - I can't seem to get a clear picture of close-ups because I lack a macro feature on my camera.


    Thanks!

  • Bumper date codes

    I could not find a link re this in the archives. Where does one find the date codes on bumpers, and what do they look like?


    I have seen paper tags on bumpers with the part numbers, but I suspect that those were for replacement bumpers. Is this how originals came off the line, or were part numbers also stamped in?


    thanks!

  • Window Glass Codes

    I located my date code: it is 5A, or January 65. I looked up your rec on PS Auto Glass and have emailed them for a quote. I also contacted OEM Auto Glass; both seem to have been in the business for some time, and both offer date-coding. Both are in the midwest.


    I'll let the site know whom I select and my outcome from using that site so that others can benefit. This is a great site for information-sharing!


    Thanks a bunch!

  • Window Glass Codes

    Does anyone have information on reading the codes on window glass? I was looking at my FB rear glass today, made by Car-Lite, and wondering about the data etched into the glass. That glass is a light green and in good shape. I think it's original.


    I haven't looked at the other glass, but I am due for a new windshield, and I think that the driver's glass is scratched, so I would like a source for window glass if anyone has a recommendation.


    Thanks in advance!
