If Mike doesn't have the air cleaner, I think I have one that would be correct, but it's missing the snorkel. I also have a pair of shock tower braces, if those were damaged.

I have an air cleaner and snorkle

Donna,

WOW, am I sorry to hear about your car. BUT it looks repairable, and nobody was hurt.

I live in Loveland, CO and have a nice 10 X 6 enclosed trailer. I'm not sure where you are located, but I would be willing to shuttle parts from or to Des Moines, Kansas City, Albuq, NM, points north, northwest, and west of Denver.

Pretty much any where within in a 700 mile circle around Denver.

Lemme know. Dave


Thank you so much Dave, that is beyond generous.

Okay. I need to call you Neil because right now we are looking for a complete wiring harness and a dash pad...

Bret did you check out those pieces you mentioned? I got laughed at a gazillion years ago before all the Mustang parts and restoration shops were around and I searched high and low for a complete steering wheel..in green. Preserverance paid off and I found one in excellent condition FOR $30.00 !!! Horn rings alone went for $50 at the time.
Work commences this week on my car. The shop said they could have sold it, as is, everyday to customers who have to walk past it to get in the front door.

I have them both. Original harness in decent shape, an original dashpad in very good shape. (What color do you want it?)
PM me a shipping address.

Neil:cool:

Carb?

Donna, Is your car a 2V or 4V carb? If 4V, do you need a carb? I have an Autolite 4V 4300 carb off my J code. If you need it, I will send it to Rob for rebuild and he can send it to you when he is done. Let me know. It has a 69 date code, but will work for your car. Mike

Donna, I'm waiting for them to send pictures of the steering wheel, pillar and knee pad and also door panels.

Also, this Sat is the local early auto swap meet, so I'll be on the lookout there as well.

I'll keep you posted

Thanks Scott. I saw that in the Registry, but wasn't sure if it had been upgraded to a 4V. You never know.

Donna, turns out that the door panels and steering wheel are Deluxe and I don't believe that your interior was Deluxe. Also, did yours have the pillar pads and knee pad??

I pictures of them all, but for the life of me I'm not computer savvy enough to upload them. That's why there aren't any pics in my Garage either. :(:(

So, I can send them to your email or maybe someone else can upload them.

Thanks Doug, I sent them to Neil, since he is gathering parts. We worked out a deal with the seller.

For those who are not familiar with Donna or her car click here and forward through the book preview until you get to the lime gold GT/CS with white stripes.

Got the dashpad dyed Dark Ivy Gold.
Dash harness is about ready. I'm marking the connectors,
and need to re-do the fuse box.
