I'm not sure you can tell all that by the posted bid numbers. EBay doesn't show the automatic bids, only the manual ones, so we don't know how many automatic bids there are between those posted numbers. But like you said it will be interesting to see if the winner backs out and the car relists.

Nothing, I had it confused with the 65/66 handle.

Here is the one in my car. I just noticed that I have the wrong emergency brake handle!! Gotta add that to the list.

I'm not sure "a little" is the way to go. The maroon car on eBay can't break $11,000 while similar cars with 289s go for $15,000 - $18,000 or so. If we take $16,000 as a base then the 6 cylinder car is around 30% less. That is about what I'd expect. Somewhere between 25% and 35%. My vote...

It's a J-code which is great, it also has the bench front seat which is a super rare option. It needs the stripes replaced, correct fog light pedestals, and the black cleaned off the tail light bezels. It also needs new rear springs. To me it seems like a decent price if the car is as nice as...

The previous auctions have ended at $11,000 so it'll probably take $12K or more to buy it. If you are happy with a 6 then $12k seems more than reasonable to me. Like we've said before, value is an individual thing. If you are looking to keep it then it's worth whatever you are comfortable...

Don, I'll bet it's not the people at the very top who want it sugar coated. It's usually the ones just below them.

It looks like some criteria or process should be established before we end up with a free-for-all. Should we choose 10 at a time so we have that out of the way or do we have a monthly discussion? Should we nominate and vote or should it be some set criteria? For example are we looking for...

Correct, which is about $5,500.

What does the 114# number mean vs. the 165# or 200# number I see from the Mustang vendors?

I think it's a scam. The last line of the description shows the BIN as 7,500.

Lucas or Marchal? For Lucas lights check the "restoration" link under "electrical".

David, the carb has a modulator on it that lets it gradually go back down to idle speed. I can't remember if it's spring loaded or run off the vacuum. It can't be causing all of your problems but there might be more than just one thing going on. Anyway you might want to check that. Remember...

That's the phrase I was looking for!!! Perfectly stated, Don.

Paul, Ford is a retail company so they sell stuff to survive. That means that the consumer is all that matters. Sadly, it's not a different world today. The same corporate nonsense has been going on for the past 2000 years. If you tell me that it is a different world today at Ford than it...

Paul, hopefully I somewhat speak for the silent majority with the following rant. As much as I'd like to get on board with your enthusiasm for the new GT/CS I just can't because I haven't seen anything that gives me reason to and whatever nonsense Ford is up to with the aborted releases and...

And a dam just burst here in Kauai killing at least one person with 7 missing. What a weird week.

Here is a response I received from someone in Switzerland regarding the difference between 653s and 656s, with the 656s being the correct lights for early California Specials. Hello. I do have both lamps, 653 and 656. The difference is the bulb. the 653 has a 12V 45W bulb, the 656 has a H1...
