Brian, I enjoyed visiting with you as well at Charlotte!! I am quite proud of how my car came out, just some light tweeking and it will be all fine!!
I won my first junior award on Saturday at the AACA show there at the Lowes Motor Speedway!!! I can't wait to see the trophy!!
Never seen one in a regular Mustang '65-'66 may be the Shelbys used these?
Anyone attending the upcoming Charlotte Auto Fair is more than welcome to stop by the Buckeye booth and see my carpet for themselves, really great fit and quality!!
No, I don't feel that it is unreal, since these are so scarce, and that someone recently paid what $1k-$1200. for a SJ unit that had been rebuilt and HAD automatic trans cooling line fittings.
I have access to original COPPER 2 row cores for about $225.00 if that helps any.
Marv and/or Hank: Any ideas on this??
Fred has ID'd mine as an original from my 1978 F150s 460 engine, its not for a 289 at all.
Forgot to mention that this is a Dearborn or Metucheon unit, and can send pictures upon request.
DEP C4ZE-8005 G1 dated either 5DE or 5DB I can't quite tell.
Original FOMOCO unit with ORIGINAL core that needs to be replaced.
$325.00 plus actual shipping from 32909
I think that $3k would buy a brand new toploader from David Kee, and not have to worry about what is wrong with this used one!
Must be nice to have a hotline to Carrol Shelby though.....
Brant: I spoke with Kevin, at your place just yesterday about this and he said he remembered seeing one at one time, but thought that they were not reproduced.
Murf: Your point is well taken, I am a bit younger at now 51 but I learned to drive on my Grandfather's 1961 Comet with a manual choke!!
And I agree 100% with you!!
BUT: Why the need for a DECAL for the dash just above the choke knob on 1969-70 Boss and Shelby cars?? was that age group no longer aquanted with the manual choke operation?
Thanks, matt, I'll give JD a shout!!!
I'll bet anything that a young person say 16-21 years old wouldn't have a clue how to start a vehicle with a manual choke!!!
My friends at VA Mustang tell me that there was such a tag originally but don't think it is reproduced....
I have a Carter fuel pump, crimped together, looks like a standard fuel pump for a '66 289, heres the numbers, can anyone help me ID it? Thanks! 0-2537 on upper body, 6878 on lower left edge, 19701 on lower right edge.
Yes, By all means call TRIM PARTS & tell them that you were refered to them by Nate of Buckeye, and me, Rick, the owner of the K convertible that received their GREAT carpet!!
Great Idea!! How would you suggest mounting this? I kind of don't want to mess up the walls of my new trailer though..
I am looking for about 4 of these THICK rubber door edge guards that are used by car companies on NEW vehicles to prevent damage to the edge of the doors on the transport trucks...I have inquired at my Ford dealer and all THEY use these days are a thin rubber strip about 8" long and these are plentiful....would anyone have a couple of these THICK ones they could spare?? Thanks!!
This is all GREAT INFO!!! I really appreciate it!! and Bob, I'll catch up with you sometime & get that audograph!! (LOL)
Seems like there was some descussion about this earlier but I can't find it-it had something to do with the special HIPO suplement manual which I now have, but I don't really remember seeing a special tag that would hang from the choke cable knob to tell new car buyers back in 1965 how to use a manual choke??
I guess there were so many older cars like Falcons for instance and trucks back in the early-mid 60s that had manual chokes that it was thought that everyone knew how to operate them....
It is interesting however that there IS a decal for '69-'70 Bosses & Shelbys that goes on the dash telling about the manual choke....
RPM & ALL, CALL TRIM PARTS!!!!! Their carper is FAR FAR SUPERIOR over ACC!!! Nate tells me that the heel & toe pads are even sewed in like the original carpet, not glued in like ACC, I'll bet they have and can do the unique 64.5 carpet set as well as the later style we used in my Kar!!!!
