Hi, I have a pair of 1967 GT500 original used 31sp. Axles for sale. They also fit 67 427 R Fairlanes. QUESTION: Were these also used on other cars as well?  Someone mentioned that they are identical to ones used in 68 GTE Cougars??  They are unique in appearance  even though they are the same dimensions as a 1969-1970 Boss 302 or 428Cj.  They are in perfect used condition and the splines are nice and straight. Located in Norwalk, CA..  I have them listed on Ebbaay under  listing number: 235995797632 and it ends tomorrow.  No Reserve sale and current bid is only $400.00.  I have owned millions of $$ of Ford HP parts since 1978 and this is the first set of these that I have ever had! So needless to say, they are RARE!...Thanks in advance for your answers

For your make and year check under all of the carpet underlayment, back side of the both door panels  and since you have the seats out check between the burlap and springs on the seats for good measure

If its really stained I got a method for cleaning that you'll see out there or can aim you to an article that will improve them allot in most cases

Jeff, yes I am interested...thanks

I found it last night!!  Under the carpet underlayment under the rear seat on drivers side...I also pulled the drivers seat since I've read that some cars had more than one...nothing under the drivers seat...should I check under the pass. front seat area? thanks for the replies. A few pics attached.

Later today I will search for my build sheet on my 1970 GT500 that I am selling.  Since it is a low mileage car with all original interior and never wrecked I should be able to find it.  Besides under the drivers seat carpet area where else should I look for it?? Should I pull up the rear seat?  Thanks in advance for any suggestions..

I have a 1970 GT500 4 speed with Dealer installed Air Cond. for sale....21,722 orig. miles...always a So Cal. car...all orig. sheet metal and fiberglass...all original interior in very good condition..nice driver..original color Grabber Blue...I have lots of pics and 2 videos...Ron Miller rpmron@gmail.com

I appreciate answers to this question...thanks, Ron Miller

Yes Randy (gt350hr)...you were right, it is the same Ron Miller from Ford Power Parts (FPP) where you worked years ago and where you met your wife Carol who was working for me at the time. Now that my history is confirmed...

As I replied to Bob Gaines I am NOT, NOR HAVE I EVER CLAIMED TO BE A SHELBY EXPERT!   As I am sure you remember, I am an expert on FE Ford Engines and  I am very knowledgeable on Sm blks, 351C and 460 series engines,  as well as on 65-70 Mustangs, since approximately  400 went through my hands over the years. But I am not considering myself an expert on Mustangs either. 

Maybe someday I can only hope to be an expert in all areas, as you seem to portrait yourself  for years;   I suppose that it is based on your vast knowledge that it gives you the right to criticize and bad month  people that you don't consider being at your level of expertise.

If you re-read my text of the car for sale, you will notice that as soon as it was brought to my attention that this car has not been judged at a Shelby event, please note  that I rectified it immediately  because I realized that  it was not accurate for me to claim that it  was a 99 point car.  With an add on note, I specified that it has not been judged and never graded at a Shelby car show.  Also on my outgoing emails in relation with this car, I removed the "99 point car", but I left it listed as a #1 car, which I don't think that this statement could be debatable.

This being said, if for years you kept some grudge against me, about which I totally ignored the cause... or if you have some kind of a personal vendetta against me, why don't you simply come to me directly, either by getting together, or by emailing me or write me a letter to let me know what are the unresolved issues, so we can "bury the hatchet" instead of all this ongoing behind the scenes back stabbing? Who knows, maybe I'll even buy you a chicken dinner!

This country (and the world at large) are in enough turmoil right now, so all of our energies should be focused on healing, being proactive in trying to fix the problems, and helping each other before it is too late, instead of quibbling over some possible minor issues that may have happened 25+ years ago.

And in closing I really appreciate all the feedback received here about what is incorrect  about this car and I am looking into everything suggested. Thank you!!

Yes I owned Ford Power Parts.  If anyone notices something that is incorrectly done or incorrect part I would appreciate knowing exactly what it is. The $500 receipt from the third owners was done for DMV purposes to save on sales tax. He paid $7500 for the car and an extra $1k for the 8v intake, Cobra valve covers and extra spare parts. This car has not been judged at a Shelby event, this is my opinion and others that have seen the car. I read your comments, so I put a note on the ad to clarify this.  The main reason I mentioned the corrections to the SAAC registry is the first person that was very interested in the car said NO because of what he read in the registry and he (incorrectly) thought that the stripe overspray in the door jambs was not the way that Shelby did it and therefore the restoration shop did not know what they were doing. I have approximately 300 pictures of this car and each engine part and no one from this ad has asked to see them yet. Bob,  I DO NOT and have NEVER claimed to be a Shelby expert. I DO claim to be an expert on Ford V8 1960's engines especially the FE series which I have designed and manufactured parts on a shoestring budget better than gigantic aftermarket companies. I am trying to be 100% transparent, so again, if you see something that is not correct, please point it out. thanks in advance, Ron Miller
