  • 66-67 Fuel Pump Concourse

    I would be interested to get Fred's oppinion on these rebuilt units as he is a leader in quality and performace with his runs. I do notice the spring here should be red. Can't believe the bid is up this high on this unit with 8 days to go. Fred sold one of his rebuilt units a few weeks ago and nearly hit $2k. Fred's units are built to run today's fuel wich is a huge plus for many looking for original pumps for their drivers-

  • REBUILT1966 HIPO 4201-S FUEL PUMP

    When looking for parts on the engine, don't we look at the date of the block and consider when the engine was likely assembled with it's components rather than the date on the door tag? I believe there has been some prior discussions around this. Charles has also commented that the date on the door tag was a projected date and could be off plus or minus 2 weeks. The door tag date on my car is July, but my engine has a Feb date. It is the original VIN stamped block to the car. I would suspect that the engine was assembled a short period after the block date so I've understood looking for dates on engine related parts around the block, rather than the door tag. I would also like to get Charles take as well.

  • NOS set Goodyear Power cusion tires

    I am selling a set of whitewall Goodyear Power cusions. There are 4 tires: 3 are NOS and 1 about 65% tread left. The nubs and mold seam on top of the treads are barely visible on the 3 NOS but 100% of tread is there. Likely these 3 tires were used to roll a car around a shop. The 1 used tire has slightly more wear on the outside tread than the rest of the tire, but in good enough shape to show. $1,200 firm for the set. I bought these at $500 per tire. I can take pics and send on request.

  • 66 NOS carb sold on EBAY

    I've got an NOS '66 4100 carb that I've compared to the one that sold on E-bay yesterday. A few similar details on NOS carbs: There are red marks (like nail polish)accross both jets and also a red mark about an inch long in the crease rising to the air cleaner. There are also some crayon marks on the sides. The one on Ebay showed on black vertical line, mine is drawn in red and mine also has a red "P" drawn on the opposite side...also in thin crayon. I could poossbily take some photos if there is any interest.

  • 66 GT-K Coupe For Sale

    I am doing a T-Bred restoration and could use these particular fenders and hood off the car. They are not correctly dated for this car as they are. Would anyone with interest in this car be willing to purchase the car with me at a reduced price minus the hood and fenders? I do know where two MINT feders can be bought for $350 a piece and a pair of Ford NOS fenders for $500 each.

  • Wanted: '66 drivers fender and hood

    I'm hunitng for either a MINT near perfect or NOS red primed driver fender and/or hood dated roughly March-late June '66. The car has a hood and driver fender dated a month after the production date, so I'm attempting to put the right dates back on it. Probably in a fender bender shortly after the car drove off the lot. I'd like to hear from you if you may have something that might work.

  • Engine tag

    I'm hunitng for an original '66 K engine tag from the Cleavelend plant. Does anyone have one to spare? I'd be willing to buy a manifold to get the tag, if you can't part with the two.

  • Critter in the trunk?

    Coons will find themselves in the dangdest spots!!! I've got one living in my chimney of a rental I have now. I'm inbetween tenants and don't want the new tennants to feel they are sharing the home with company so I am also contemplating how to fix the situation. I go on the roof and can shine a flashlight down the chimney and can often see it looking up at me 20 feet down. I've been sucessful at shooting 4, trapping 2, but have also been outwit by 2. I guess if your keeping score, I'm 6...Coons 2. They are creative, smart, and eventful things that will not go away easily. If you trap them, use a can of tuna or chicken. It may take you several days to catch one and you may go through a few cans before you lure one in. They will find ways to take the bait without being trapped. Nights are your best opportunities to shoot/trap as they are nocturnal. Trapping it preserves nature, shooting it gets to the point. Best of luck-

  • WTB: NOS .030 oversized pistons/rings ex valves

    I'm collecting NOS parts for an upcomming t-bred resto for a '66 K-GT conv and am hunting for a set of NOS .030 oversized pistons, rings and valves. I'm trying to avoid using aftermarkets or having it re-sleeved. Does anyone have these or have any leads to share?


    Just a few other NOS I am still looking for in case you have any of these:


    -NOS '66 4201S fuel pump

    -NOS exhaust manifolds dated 11/65-1/66

    -NOS seat track (need 1)

    -NOS coupe conv trunk wire harnesses

    -NOS underdash 14401 wire harness(early FOMOCO version)

    _NOS firewall pad

    _NOS US Royal redlines(3 more)

    _NOS '66 red delux door pannels

    _NOS '66 red delux seat appolstry(any and all)

    _NOS '66 conv K leaf springs

    _NOS K coil springs

  • WTB: '66 K fan blade

    I've located one blade in the date code range I need, but it will need restoration work. I'd really like one that would just need a repaint. But I do realize what I'm after could be a tough find and I'll probably take it if nothing else surfaces...
