The answer is yes and no. Yes I would deduct for the wrong pedistal, and no I would not deduct for them provided that the owner could provide documentation that the car was delivered from Ford with the Shelby style pedistals. Hope this helps Marty Rupp MCA 67-68 gold card judge

You must have a sticky valve on your hoist too. Some time I am going to make a large diameter knob for mine so I have better control. Glad no one was hurt! You can all ways repaint. Marty

Very nice work! I am curious about the black primer on the undercarriage. I have never seen a San Jose car with the black priner. I hope I get to judge it in St George. See you soon. Marty

Looking good Arlie. There is just some thing exciting about a freshly overhauled blue engine! Marty

Tari and I will be there. Marty

Arlie I would be intrested to hear you opinion on how your instalation went and how it operates in your car. I think you will like it. We are going to the Pensacola Fl. MCA national this week and Frank the owner of Tribute Automotive will be there. The mystic build 67 fast back is to make its...

Our 7-12-68 fastback is a C code 289 with a VIN stamped 302 block. Ford was good at cleaning house of all the 289 parts. I did not know so many E codes were used in the Cougars. Marty

302 2V would be unusal, that would have been a F code not many made. Most likly a 289 C code. Marty

The head lights circut might not be grounded properly and when you turn on the head lights it is back tracking for ground through the turn lights. I know just enough about this to be dangerous! Marty

Sounds like a voltage drop you might measure the resistance. I bet Steve will have some ideas. Marty

Eric, It would be on the Marti Report if it had a passenger side mirror. Very few car came with both mirrors. When we judge we do not have a Marti report so as long as the optional equiptment is correct and correctly installed there would be no deductions. Marty

I like to see some of these orignial mistakes. It gives me a true sence of what many of the original cars were like and the time pressure the workers were under. We live in a world where every thing need to be perfect. I am sure the people that bought these cars could have cared less if there...

Arlie that also could have been a factory mistake. I saw a 67 convertible that was stamped 7F01 insted of 7F03. And I had a 67 coupe that the last digit was a 1 when they stamped the aprons they made it a 7 then caught the mistake and squeezed a 1 between the 7 and the preceeding digit and...

Too bad it will be no where near Omaha. My son went to the one in DC and thought it was great. Way to go Donna what a honor. Marty

Hi Eric, My father has a 64 1/2 D code convertible that we restored 4 years ago. I do not have a 5 bolt block but do have the 5 bolt automatic transmission. Marty

Eric, PM sent

I may be interested, my sockets are not in the best shape. I am assumming yours will come with the sockets? Marty

The taped pigtails were done in the factory. 3311 I am sure was a factory mark all though I do not know what it means. It might be a inspection number. Jeff S. may be able to shed some light on the number. I see yours has the sealent, I guess some did and some did'nt. Marty

Check check check! Most deals that are too good to be true usely are. Get a quilified inspection and spend the money on a fast Marti Report. Good Luck Marty

Hi Eric, Thanks for the kind words. I have a front Ford core that I have saved to be rechromed. I would sell it. I loved the pictures of a blue 72 Mach I from Malta in the Mustang Times and it is in the 2012 MCA calender too. Marty
