Hi Rene,

Craig Conley at Paradise Wheels sells complete

Paxton setups. Don't know the exact prise but

it's probably around USD 3,500.

Just search on the web for his email address.

Craig is a top guy.

Sorry, too late. Check is already in the mail.

Just kidding.

Thanks Fred,

While talking about scams, I got a request to

pay for an item I had supposedly won a couple of days ago.

The problem is I never bid on it so I checked

it by the number and found out who won and what

it was. It was some female clothes and so far I

have not starting to wear female clothes.

Reported it to ebay and they responded with a standard

email and said they will look into it within 72 hours.

I am afraid I will get negative feedback for something

I was never involved in.

Also, several times I have got requests from paypal

that my account must be updated and it was really a scam.

Somebody uses paypal web-page to get my account number.

I can't understand why the FBI don't go after these scammers.

It is possible and these dirtbags should be put away for good

Hi,

Go to Autozone,Napa or somebody and buy their

radiator overflow tubing. It's black and

has the correct size 5/16"x30" and is made

by Fresh Start in the USA, Part Number 5151.

I tried like crazy to find some correct standard

hose/tube to use before I found this. Think I had to

cut it to the correct length.

Good luck.

I agree with you about Krylon.

That's what I used as well.

Well, these pictures show the 65 standard interior

type rally pack and Rene has the 65 pony interior/

66 type.

Hi,

This was discussed, in detail, some time ago

and you can find more information by performing

an advanced search. Don't forget to check archived

posts.

Yes, at least my May 65 did.

Hi Tom,

The date code on your 4201 is Dec 1, 1966.

Could very well be the original to your car.

/Bo

Thanks Charles,

It looks like 131 E5 even though the

third figure (1) is difficult to see.

Maybe that means day 131 in 65 which would

translate to May 65. A friend has exactly

the same dates on his 65 Shelby which was

produced at Ford in the end of May.

The springs I need should probably be around

120 E5 to match my May 5-10 prod.date.

Anybody has a pair? Have stuff to trade or

will buy outright.

Thanks,

/Bo

Hi Charles,

What about how to read the date codes?

Do you know?

Thanks,

/Bo

Hi,

Shelby actually used the 67 Thunderbird

wheelcovers and put his own emblem over

the Thunderbird one.

Many years ago, in Sweden, I found 4 of the

Shelby covers at a swapmeet for $30. Never

used them though. Still have them over there.

/Bo

I have been thinking the same thing

about the E but have no proof. Used to

believe it was a part of the date code

but as all cars seems to have the E

it could be the manufacturer's abbreviation.

/Bo

Another qustion about leaf springs.

How do you read the date codes and

what does the E stand for? Every spring

I have seen has the E on them, both for HiPo's

and non-HiPo's.

Example 131 E5, does it mean the 131:st

day of 1965?

Thanks,

/Bo

Hi guys,

Does anybody have an extra pair of 1965

Fastback bottom leafs. My springs were given to

a friend back in 1988-89 when I replaced my originals

and correct markings etc. didn't mean that much.

They must be marked:

C4ZA-5556-K, L, S or Y (preferably S) and dated not later

than May 3 1965. Thanks for your help.

/Bo

Done by a previous owner as the Shelbys were

lowered at Shelby's factory and not at Ford.

Hi,

I had the same problem but between 2nd

and 3rd gear. Had to double clutch to get

it (T10M1) into 3rd gear. Put in another

shifter and everything worked fine after

that.

/Bo

Thanks Charles,

Is it the date code on the fenders or did

they mark both the fenders and frame rail

with "what number"?

Thanks,

/Bo

Thanks a million Matt,

This is what I suspected. I have a

Ford replacement in my car and will have to

change it. Again thanks.
