You're assuming it's a legitimate bid:)

Nice job; well done!
While epoxy primer is a nice touch, Ford didn't use it originally either:)
-
That's the risk of copying details seen on other cars when they're incorrect.
-
Nice batch of photos. It will be interesting to see if it sells for that price so soon after the last sale.
-
What information are you seeking (exactly)?
-
It might be best if you determine the type of engine the car has in it. Is it really a HiPo 289? If you are unsure you can post images here and obtain help with the identification.
Not too sure about the idea of a gas tank label being the change order for the assembly line; never heard that one before.

Did the Shelby's with the T-10 have a different shaft part number than the standard K code cars with Top Loaders?
-
Wow! What a great story!
-
The seller's unwillingness to disclose the VIN or show any photos of them makes it pretty tough to be seriously interested (for anyone that might be). He could, at least, make a case for it being the real deal by showing all three VINs if they're intact.
-
There is a difference in the diameter of the early and late tubing, but I didn't measure it and don't have access to the bars right now to get additional imagery.
-
In my case the bushings were easily popped out of the new ones and used in the early bars. (The bars went away when I did the concours restoration work:) If all you need is the bushings you should be able to buy them from Traction Master as a service part.
-
Early style bar is on the left with three point bracket. M1 is embossed on the end of the rods in the bushing area but I didn't get a photo of that particular detail at the time I had them off the car. The frame rail mount brackets are slightly different from early to late and the owner would be at the mercy of the installer's welding ability when they were attached to the frame rails.
The early bars were a common modification and would be period correct. They were available in the aftermarket and from Shelby Amercian. If you are showing the car in MCA events they would be acceptable in certain classes, though not in concours.

Quote from BMaloof
It is really hard to tell from the pics, but look at the deck surface to see if it has lines that run front to rear, or a circular pattern accross the deck. If the deck has lines, then it has NOT been decked. Just looking at the pics it looks as though it has the lines. The way the factory broach cut the deck is much different that I can do or any other machine shop.
The horizontal lines are clearly different from a typical deck milling. I've never seen a broach in action, but it's interesting to note that there is a slight amount of what you might call "tearout" on one side of each opening; perhaps this is an indication of the direction of travel of the tooling?
-
There are two sets of pictures showing the back of the car here; one with transverse duals and one with the Arvinode.

I've owned drum and disc brake cars and have never had problems with either system if the they were properly maintained. In my opinion the disc brake cars have a markedly better feel and firmer pedal.

It would be helpful if there were some early photos of engine compartments that clearly showed the valve. It's hard to imagine KH or any other manufacturer producing them out of bare metal given the number of NOS valves that are gray.
