I recently sold my '70 with the intermittent wipers so unfortunately I can't run to the garage and check. I recall there being a low and high speed, with the difference being all the speeds in between.

Tony Zankofsky in PA did mine. You need pretty good cores to get a good result. PM me if you'd like his contact info.

Hey Jason. I didnt know you were the hood guys's story when we get together last month!!!! My hood part number is gone on mine. let me know if the one in your old hood frame is savable.

Thanks again for that crank! That reminds me I need to check in with the machine shop..

Unfortunately the area with the part # on my old hood frame had already been damaged beyond repair. I wondered how I would fix it - I guess this was one way to do that!

Hi all - I wanted to give an update. My hood's been repaired and is better than before it sailed off. I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out. The hood frame was an NOS one from Jesse at Shelby Parts and Restoration.

I believe the air cleaner, snorkel, and heat riser are shared with other 1969 ford and mercury products. Where are you located? I have a setup here in N.C.

If you go with a repo bezel please paint the inside ring Argent by the plastic gauge clear bezels . The repos are chrome as they don't paint them. Seen it too many times. Both my 55 year old clocks work good in my 2 "69" cars. Curious as to how my 68 clock will work since it has been sitting for 51 years dormant now. I like the factory clock movement. 

Yes - painting that ring is necessary. But very difficult! At least for me. I've done it but it took almost a week of back-and-forth, touch ups, etc.

I think for it to be capitalism you need a buyer willing to pay more.. Not sure if that will happen here, at least anytime soon. Desirable parts but narrow market..

Sold! I need one for my SCJ. I'll PM you my info. I'll be at Carlisle as well.

I've been talking with Grant on the parts. There's more than what's shown. I could use them (couldn't we all?) but the asking price for the lot probably puts it out of reach.

Hopefully these end up on a car. Wish it was mine!

Glad the car got a befitting restoration!

Best of luck - while it’s abundantly clear that someone did something nefarious here, it’s clear that person was not you. Thanks for sharing your side of the story and helping set the record straight.

And look what popped up on marketplace, in the same city (LA). I'm not saying this is definitely the same engine / trans - but you do the math on production #'s and probabilities...

I'll take one as well when they're ready. GT500

I saw this post earlier - unfortunately my original AC box is in storage so I don't have any photos. All the washers I've removed over the years have been black, having been painted over, I assume when the car was built. The area under the bolt is unpainted.

Yep that car and another with black interior same combo came from same NJ area recently restored by bob wilson so thats 3 70 coral dragpacks  4 speed shelby fastbacks that exist good looking kool cars.

And Kenny Falk in Amarillo TX owns a comp red, 70 SCJ 4 speed as well, #3177. Twin to mine and Michael Stearn's car. Bob Wilson did Michael's, which was a really low-mileage example. Our cars were built the same day so we've compared notes between the cars.
