  • 1966 k-code fastback

    Jan,

    Nice car. Do you have any plans to change it back to it's original

    Silver Frost color? Also, are you a member of the Mustang Club in Finland? I used to be a member in that club in the mid 80's.

    Participated in a club meeting at Koskenpää with my 67 Shelby.

    Meeting and my car was documented in a magazine, if I recall correctly V8-Magasini. My wife is from Finland.

  • 1967 K choke cable

    Hi,

    I posted a picture on the SAAC Forum. Can't seem to get

    it done here. It's to the left close to the kick panel and has

    no C on the knob. The picture I posted was from an original car

    just below serial number #1200.

    If you send me your email address I can send you the picture.

  • rear spring markings

    Sorry, but I am not convinced about the spray versus brushes.

    To me the paint dots looks too thick for being applied with

    spray and the edges looks like it's still kind of thick instead of

    being thinner. Could be wrong, wouldn't be the first

    time. What about other markings like on steering components

    etc. Were they applied with spray as well? For example the HiPo

    engine insulators are marked with yellow and all 4 NOS I have are as far as I can see marked with a brush.

  • Would you spend the money

    Depends on the rest of the car. Are all other stuff correct

    including date codes etc. If so I would go for it and sell

    the one he has in the car. However, only if the new one has no

    serial number stamped into it. If it does it won't make much of

    a difference in my book.

  • 67' GT350

    I believe the general feeling is that cars that were standing at LAX

    for months got rust on bumpers, faded paint on the fiber glass or other problems and those cars got a Z marked when they had been checked and fixed.

    My 67 has a Z and it was standing at LAX from the ready date in May 67 to October 67 when it was sold and delivered to a dealer in L.A.

  • Rear leaf springs

    Jeff,

    Dave's springs are dated (manufactured) in early 66 and have the

    green and yellow dots while 6S923 have original springs dated

    in Dec of 1965 and have yellow and green bands. 6S923

    was produced at San Jose around Jan 12th while engine assembly date

    is Jan 6th, 1966. This means that the dot and band thing had no

    cut off date at all as regards the dates on the springs.

  • Rear leaf springs

    Hi,

    Congrats, you most likely have the original springs.

    The code S is for a K code fastback and the date code is

    85=calendar day 85, 5=1965 and E=probably stands for Eaton

    the manufacturer. If my math is correct your spring

    is manufactured on March 26, 1965. Have you checked both as

    there very often are different dates on a pair for a car.

    Seen several 65 Shelbys that have 18 5E on one side and 75 5E.

    Also seen 16 5E and 75 5E respectively.
