New member here.
I have a set (pair) of 1966 Ford Mustang High Country Special fender emblems that I'd like to sell. Back in 1982/83 I had pulled the transmission from my 1973 Mach 1, only for it to slip off of the tranny jack and fall to the ground. Cracked the bellhousing of the FMX, so off to the local salvage yard I go (Friesen's in Liberal, Kansas).
The directed me toward the crusher, where they were parting out cars and crushing what was left of them, telling me that there may be a bellhousing in the aluminum scrap pile. I head out there and see a 1966 Mustang that had apparently had a run in with a telephone pole. I went to check it out and noticed the emblems. At the time, I had no idea what they were....figured they were just some aftermarket doo-dads, but pried them off and purchased them with the bellhousing. Stuck them to my bulletin board where they stayed except in '84 when I moved to Florida.... Moved here and back on the board they went.
I believe they were repainted at some time in the past, they are one color blue, not the light/dark two tone that you see on the site....unless there was a color change sometime???
I was going to put them on Ebay, but figured I'd look for a place to post them so someone who would appreciate them might get them.....I have no idea what/if they are worth anything, so figure best offer. Can email pic if you like....dar125@yahoo.com
Thanks
