Garage Find #1587

[gt350cs]

Rich,

I checked out pictures of a few cars with same San Jose Build Date and they did not have the early valence with chrome trim. Of course they could have been changed out at a later date. I think the valence on the car is most likely correct. Perhaps others may have opinion.

I would be surprised to see the early rear valance on a car this late . I don't agree with the previously posted 1700 something number range for the early rear valance. Just my opinion based on my observations .

I can assume the "Rally Stripe" means the Lower Side Stripes since everyone says that no 67's came from SAI with over the top stripes?

Bob / Dennis,

I replied back in the rear valance thread the reason why I suspect it might have had the earlier version. (I understand I may still be wrong)

So Damn sweet

Alright guys here is the last of the pictures ...This is all the parts that I received everything seems to be correct and all there..... It blows my mind that the original tires still hold air ...Dave Matthews told me that this car went in for a warranty service on the valves, I actually found the warranty tag..

Also the original owner could not remember, but he was sure the dealer installed the fire extinguisher...Anyone else from Marshall ford have this?

jgroce1985,

     Is there any text information visible on the paper tag on the cylinder head?

[jgroce1985]

Something was on it at one time, but it's to faded and fragile to tell

Really cool story and treasure trove of documentation.

Rather than do a lot of hard and expensive projects twice, I would go straight to the best restoration I could afford.

Assembling everything is not a bad idea.  It helps you account for what parts you are missing.   At times it is difficult to think you have it all when it is scattered in boxes.  There are a lot of parts and hardware to make a car and not every nut and bolt can be assumed to be in the "boxes".   A lot of the time you will not know what is missing until you start putting things together.  I would suggest assembling everything and then restoring.

Awesome find!  Cool car!  I am jealous.  I will be following your progress.  :-)
