With todays technology, the registry information should be sitting in a database. This would allow easy updates, public or private access to up to date information and the ability to query the information in many different and useful ways (number of red cars, deluxe interior, dso by s/n, etc).

Too bad I ordered mine last week. Probably not a bad price. I have seen original C2 (1963-1967) Corvette Knockoff wheels sell for over $10K.

Certainly the HCS is rarer, but as mentioned above, the GT/CS decal on the sides and the rear script set the Cal Special off.

No vested interest in how this unfolds, but a very interesting topic. I am kind of surprised, given its importance to these cars, that after all these years it has not been completely documented. My question is, what efforts have been made to track down someone from Ford that was involved...

I remember you posting about that, I'll bet that was quite a shock. I am pretty sure those are the Branda wheels. That was a beautiful car. I went ahead and ordered the Vintage 50's. Too good of a deal through CJ Pony parts (tire package and free shipping). The Branda set with tires and...

Neil, Are those the Vintage 50's or Branda's?

What I am trying to understand is how much of a visual difference is there between the Vintage 50 and Branda wheels. In additional to the general price difference between the two wheels, Branda charges shipping and others (mainly CJ Pony Parts) do not.

I think I will be going with 235-60-15's all around on 15-7 rims.

There looks to be a significant difference between the Vintage 50 and the 10 spoke shelby wheels from Branda. Branda's are licensed and built to original shelby specs. I need a new set of wheels and like the 10 spoke but don't really want to spend the additional $600. What do people think...

Another car that I saw in Craigslist. This could be a fun restoration. Bob Teets is aware of it, but I do not think he has spoken with the seller. http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/2356327001.html

Not mine, saw this in Denver Craigslist. This car was for sale about 6 months ago and he pulled the ad after not selling. I have talked with the owner, not seen the car though. I believe he owns a European auto repair shop. Says the car is in excellent condition...for what it is worth...

Not mine, just saw this in Craigslist. It is from April 10, not sure it is still around. Is this a good price? http://denver.craigslist.org/pts/2317141600.html

Congratulations! Hope it keeps you busy for a while. david

Go aluminum. Copper is getting expensive and aluminum is better. If you do go aluminum, pay attention to the antifreeze you use. Make sure it is compatible with aluminum. It certainly won't look stock, though. An electric fan will make a huge difference when in traffic or stopped. It...

At one point I was looking to buy an early Falcon and ran across this car. Turbo vs v8 conversion? Maybe worth a try. http://sacramento.craigslist.org/ctd/2334608180.html

My HCS did not have the GT group either. david

Once you are in 4th gear, close ratio and wide ratio are both the same (i.e. 1.00) and it is the rear end ratio that impacts RPM's. 60MPH turing 3K RPM does not sound like 3:25 gears. I'd say more like 3:70's. Were you in 4th gear?

My understanding, but I am no expert, is that you need to match it up with your rear end gears. In general, wide ratio will do better with a higher geared rear end (i.e. 2.75 or 3.00) and close ratio will do better with lower gears (3:90). Close ratio the gear spacing is closer and thus the...

Check these guys out. They have done a bunch of gas to electric conversions. One was turning a cities fleet of trucks to electric. Another is a vintage Mustang Convertible. They also have a nice inventory of classic cars for sale. I love visiting them and taking a ride in an electric...

A friend just passed this site on to me. Thought it was pretty cool, so I am sharing: http://www.lov2xlr8.no/broch1.html david
