We will miss him, he always was a good help and nice to talk to. God Speed.

The correct distributor would be a Autolite for an earlier GT500 I think the last ones of the GT500 from what I have seen had a FoMoCo the part number was always C5AF-12127-E.

I really like the F250 with the 7.3 Godzilla but at the moment they are not in my price range. I just bought a 2010 F250 Super Duty with the 5.4 its a nice car for my trailer towing even if its a bit underpowered.

In the beginning of the thread are the pictures without the circles maybe you can see it better there. The other 2 in the other picture below are not identified at the moment also. They could work on a 69 Mustang but they have a different bend of the bracket.

Does someone here can see the differences between all the horns on my pictures and tell me what they are for, I was able to identify some but some are a mystery to me.

I just marked the ones on the pictures and the ones in the first picture are also ones that I dont know what they are for.

I wish you good luck with your search and that you find someone that has it cheaper than mine I think my deal for the complete rebuild RUG-S for 5500$ was really good and it was a 68 tranny. Hard to find these days. BTW mine has sold to Austria.

Ok no problem on this, I was not sure if all 68s recieved the iron tail shaft or just the 428CJ/KR as I had just one normal GT500 from 68 and that one had an iron shaft.

I just want to make a thread for the C6 Transmission for the 1967 GT500 as I just want to make some things sure.

1. The earlier GT500 had the PGB-R tag and the later build GT500 had the PGB-R1 tag
2. The shifter lever for the Mustangs/ Shelbys was different to the Trucks and column shifted cars
3. The main body and bellhousing is from aluminum
4. The tail shaft was also from aluminum (RF-C6AP-7A040-A-ER)
5. The Servo was an H Servo

Did I forgot something? At the end of the day you can built every C6 with an aluminium shaft into a Shelby or Mustang C6 with the right shifter lever and Servo.

For the 68 CJ/KR 428s you will need the iron tailshaft.

Does someone here has nice pictures of a original or concours restored C6 for a 67?

As I do Dragracing for over 20 years now with different Mustangs I would be interested to do this and fly in from germany for this event.

Nice to see some European people in this thread, Hello Wolfgang and Reiny.

Also the hinges are different on early 67 until January they were casted and later then the stamped version came out.

1967 and 1968 doors are different. The are interchangeable, but are not the same.

There are also standard doors and deluxe doors

Good next project for your website. Door differences. Or should we post it here so everyone can search for it. I think I have 3 different sets of doors at the moment that I can take pics from.

The RUG-S and RUG-S1 for the 67 GT500 have different casting # than an RUG-S for the 68 1/2 Cobra Jets and the 68 GT500 and the later build 68 1/2 CJ Mustangs recieved the RUG-AE like the GT500KR also.

What I want to say is that the tranny should be definitely a early 68 only application on a CJ or a GT500

I just sold it as I dont need it anymore so this story has ended.

Its on the ear of the tranny where it should be yes I also was wondering but maybe someone here has an idea.

I have an RUG-S here and it should be from a 68 Shelby GT500 maybe someone here has informations about it? Best regards Kent
