I will be at mecum, in Indianapolis, friday and Saturday

I didn't notice a Pletcher Ford  emblem?

I have a good original one  that needs to be restitched if someone needs one

I noticed recently that Mr. Perkins had listed, on ebay, a 1968 Press Information Kit.  I have never seen one before and was interested for some input as to what the value of such an item might be?  I prefer not to hear .......what ever the buyer is willing to pay.  To be more specific when these have sold in the past what have they sold for?

I have one.....it's been awhile since I looked at it........I'll take some pictures tonight and send them to you......send your email address to mk31755@aol.com if you are interested in getting the pictures.

       I don't know if this is the same car but......... about thirteen years ago I met two gentlemen , in Ohio, while hunting for parts for my 68 Shelby.  Don Pollack sold me an automatic shifter handle for my car .  I told him I had met a gent named Tom Thompson, who had a garage filled with Shelbys.  There was one that caught my eye.  It was Brittany Blue. It had low mileage.
       Don told me he sold that Brittany blue car to Tom Thompson.  It had been stolen and the motor taken.  The car had a non original motor, according to Don.  I don't know what other items had been vandalized when the car was stolen but it was sure a pretty car.  I remember it because I wrote notes for future reference , on that day in April, 2010.

      There were a lot of similarities to this car being auctioned.  I don't know that they are one in the same........ maybe its just coincidental

decent price, as of now, for a nice project car

Tim Lea did mine for me.  he did a great job.

I am sure I have :

                      original convertible black kick panel for passenger and drivers side
                      original  nos black automatic shifter handle  ( no cracks)

          Think I have:
                       might have the  bezel?    have to look
                      think I have an nos back up light assembly   right side and left ( have to look )

   contact me at mk31755@aol.com  if interested.      MK

the exhaust he should get from Scott fuller

Pete has a whole write up on this car on his web site thecoransnake.com, from when he restored it.

   I bought my first car in 71.  It was a 65 mgb.  The poor thing was devestated by harsh northern winters and did not last another five years before being consumed by rust.....may she rest in peace

I gave up years ago trying home remedies.  I live out in the county and the mice run rampant. ( In the city they have rats.)  I put all my cars in bubbles.  I haven't had a problem with mice since I started using bubbles. My wife has  a 97' Z3.  Ever since the mice got in the trunk, nested and ate the wiring , I surrendered. The repairs were very costly.  Thank the lord it was not my Shelby. Car bubbles have been my answer to the mice problem.

Tim;

    I have a gold concours 1956 Austin Healey.  Original windshields are nonexistent.  A gentleman named Richard Gordon had glass etching decals made to be etched onto the glass of the windshield to make them look authentic.  He has a whole process to etch the decal on to the glass.  If done properly it is undetectable. The company who made the decals was Rayzist.  They are in California.

the console gauges are incorrect.  it's hard to tell from the second picture but the center console, between the front seats, may have been changed , too.   Tim Lea restores old console gauges and would be a good source to start.
