Did ford racing ever make an orange RR? ASAP!!

I knew I was going to see this thread as soon as I logged on here. If they don't have any stamping or marks at all they are probably some cheap knock offs. Time to go hunting.
 
True that dude. I actually posted this in a moe's parking lot before I called you.

Well this is the story for everyone except Fastfox and slow95gt. I drove an hr and a half to meet a guy this morning for some RR. 1.6 stud mount "ford racing" I met him, the rockers were in a ford racing box, and were in good condition. I even asked the kid(19 yr old short scrawny douche, like 5'3" no joke) are you sure these are FRPP. He assured me, I gave him 125 cash. And as soon as I left I was like these are not frpp. So i started calling around and I realized they never made them in orange. Well I got pissed and I had planned on introducing him to my GLOCK.

I got home and started doing research. They look like Harland Sharps. I called him and i said " stop ****in playing me, I understand these are not FRPP, what the **** are they?" He's like" well they're either that or Harland Sharps." I said"Thank you *******, I'll be sure not to deal with you again, and the guys on SCF(Streetcarforums.com local section is pretty good) know not to deal with you." and I hung up.

I began tear down today and I have the Rad out and the upper intake and most of the accessories.
 
I would have been pissed at first as well, but now that you know what they are, there is really no reason to be. You ended up getting a better set than you thought.

Here's mine:

Hell yeah, Harland Sharp rockers are nice. They trump Ford Racing ones any day. Damn it! I wanted to sell you me brand new Trick Flow 1.6's. Oh well. The progress thread is coming along nicely. Cheers.
