  • 66 KGT coupe

    It doesn't matter to me as long they go to good homes.

    I remember in the early 70's when importers in Sweden

    bought american cars on the east coast and shipped them over

    the atlantic. Sold them with good profit to car hungry Swedes.

    These cars, some very rare like Shelbys, Crown Victorias with

    the glass roofs and all types of muscle cars endeed up in Sweden and many are still there. I bought my 67 Shelby in the L.A. area

    in 1977 and still have it parked there. Drive it in the summer time

    every year.

  • Rear Leaf Spring Numbers Decode

    Hi,The springs on a 65 fasback with hipo

    motor are marked C4ZA, 5556 S

    and like example 75 5E. Have also seen the E

    before the 5. The S above means they are for

    a FB hipo and the date code 75 means day 75,

    i.e. March 16 and 5 means 1965. Nobody is sure

    about the E but it could stand for the supplier

    Eaton but that's just a guess.

    Hope this helps,

  • RADIATOR NEEDED FOR 65 HiPo

    Shane,

    The C4ZE is the Ford number, Z= released for a Mustang

    W-MO means the Modine factory in W? California. Forgot the name

    of the city.

    G2 means it's for a 65 4-speed 289. Y2 means the same thing and

    nobody, so far has been able to explain the difference, like HiPo

    or non-HiPo. I have never seen anything else than G2 on a 65 Shelby.

    5,6 or 7 Date code=month, May, June, July and 65 is 1965 of course.

    Sorry Blown289,

    If you read my post, I said I believed it at that time

    and am sorry I didn't buy it. Now after your explanation

    it's preety clear it was a mistake. By the way, which numbers

    are stamped hidden by the fenders, 6R07K or 6R09K?

    Finally, if I don't recall wrong your car had a different unit number

    between the two while the other one has the same. Only the engine code is different. As said I was worried that I would have had problems getting it registered in Colorado with two numbers

    visable. Now I know I should have bought it.

    Again sorry,

  • 6R07K182294

    This is the car I looked at in Denver about 18 years ago

    and it was painted white at that time and had a 6R09K number

    that didn't match the car. The trans had the 6R07K number on it.

    I was pretty sure at that time this car had a new front clip.

    The 6R09K number was stamped at Ford but the R07K number

    looked like it was home made. Don't remember if I looked under the left and right fenders for the number. Still have copies of the

    original documentation from the Dealer in Pasadena, CA and this car

    had a dealer installed A/C, Rally Pac and console removed (due to A/C). The owner asked $12,000 for it and it was registered in Arizona at that time which together with the serial number problem

    made me stay away from the car. Sad, because it was a very nice car.

  • Nice example of original rear spring markings

    The date codes on these springs are quite close to the

    scheduled build date. Jan 5th and Jan. 16 or 18.

    Which is right and which is left. I have noticed that

    on 65 Shelbys the oldest spring (if different between the two)

    are located on the left side. Several 65 Shelbys built in the

    end of March at San Jose have 16 or 18 5 E on the left side and

    75 5 E on the right side. Jan. 16 or 18 and March 16 respectively.
