Small trivia point but: 1965 GT-350s did not come with side mirrors.
Any side mirror is a non-stock day-two change.

I didn't run one until cited in the mid 1970's.

A Currie CE 7000M is the applicable part.
I've bought directly from them as recently as two years ago, but their website doesn't show them.
Perhaps a call (?).

The American Airlines twins.
(see attached)

an aluminium bung, style/dimension at your discretion, is a common/easy fix.

FYI, Cragers are easily modified to fit KH big brakes.

Possible. However, the absence of the underlying former Ford VIN, if true, only determines that the car has not (yet) been identified as that which it is asserted to be.
Dumbfounded the owner/seller did not provide validation to potential buyers (or the auction house). Maybe he did (?).
Nonethless, to drop 400 (large) on a website theory without certitude has the  potential of being problematic.
Silly me, I had thought that the drivers/front VIN stampings conspicuity was purposeful to assist in easy identification and/or fraud prevention.

This information is available, open source.
This is not the forum for technical questions requiring specificity under controlled methodology.
I suggest Speed Talk or the FE Power forum (other engines) where posters such as Joe-71 (JOE-JDC) (now retired), and others such as Bill Carlquist and John Mummert have quantified the panoply of SBF single quad intakes, including baseline flows. Their interests are primarily rule-limited vintage racing and rule-limited competitions, such as Engine Masters.
Rememeber, the air begins prior to the intake and ends in the atmosphere aft of the tailpipe.
Good luck.

Stuck on the rock (Okinawa) in the USMC, wanted to go to SAAC-9 Anaheim so bad. Only FPO mail, no phones, computers, no nothing. Totally AFU. Kopec (who I had never met) somehow got wind, totally set me up. Even got me the #2 spot on the '65 line next to Don Day in 003. I thought 'Wow'.
He never even mentioned that he was a vet!
Wasn't until years later I learned of his tremendous combat record.

Ed Meyer, Bill Collins, and all:
This is so correct. The substance of our lifelong hobby has been so denigrated by such psychotic weirdos barging in on us with nothing to say!
So many guys with so much to offer have understandably been quieted by this useless clutter.
Can't we get a divorce? And return to tech??
Moderators/Webmater- can we consider some of the structural tweaks mentioned - at a minimum?

OP, sorry for minor thread-drift (not many kindred places to talk 63 1/2 R-codes these days!).
Saw this sitting unobserved in Reno last month. Driven in, rust was all sun-rust/no cancer, possibly original paint (save for hood), factory fit sheetmetal.
Nice license plate too.

65 GT-350s were shipped from Milpitas w/o hoods. Steel/glass hood frames used on later 65s came from a source as yet undermined.

SFM5S482 hammered at 335k.

Nobody seemed to notice that that is a 69 Boss 302.
Hmm.

This is a new ersatz transmission being produced by a USA/UK team intended for the present European vintage rules requiring a side loading T-10.
The trans utilizes a GM style 26 spline main drive, a Richmond serviced 2:43 first which originated in first gen 'super t-10s' (still available), a custom main shaft to accommodate the internals and terminates in a 28 spline output.
I tried VERY hard get a short run of original main drives and a 2.36 FG run, but shelf parts ruled the project.
The target for this project was the aforementioned rules, not concours replication for restoration for our cars as is clearly seen. It is not a reproduction of a 1965 T-10M1.

It has a great stance.
