    "Factory" ASC power sunroof in '70 Mustang?

    actually there are several pics around of 2 of the original 66 shelby de'mexico cars and they both had sunroofs and they were race cars (rally) to boot. ASC was also the company responsible for going the 67 cougar xr7-G's as well, and most of those, if not all, came with the sunroof as well...

    "Factory" ASC power sunroof in '70 Mustang?

    "In 1965 Shelby started installing sunroofs in the Shelby De Mexico's." This part is BS. In 65 you could not import fastbacks or verts to Mexico only coupe's. Shelby de Mexico did not start making Shelby's till 1967 and they were all coupe's. edit: Forgot to mention, the owner of Shelby de...

    Shelby $15,000 over MSRP

    Ford would be foolish Ford would be foolish if they kept up with the demand, last thing anyone would want is for a 100,000 of these to be sent out. If everyone has one and they become common, they are worthless! Production on the viper has been kept low and it's still rare when you see one...

    Metal Fender Flares for 65 Mustang

    "I heard the fiberglass can delaminate from the metal in a few years." Mine have been on since the 60's and I just sanded the passenger side quarter panel down. The paint had rock chips , so I really expected the fiberglass to be damaged or show some signs of delamination. They look as good...

    my new fastback is smoking like mad but I have good oil pressure? (351cleveland)

    Is it an automatic? Cant recall what its called but on the auto's there is a line from the power vacum modifier??? It comes from the auto trans to the carb or intake and sometimes draws the ATF into the carb and makes a lot of smoke when it starts burning it up. It can also be the head seals.
