No not in person.... but would be willing to travel to get access (for pictures) for any original car. Got to keep the achieves feed
About 30,000 pictures and it grows by 500-1000 every week I get a chance to get out.

Which parts catalog? If its one of the master parts catalogs it may be listed by a different part number for a different reason. The Add/delete sheets at least provide the number Ford was using the same week as the cars were build
If we can get access to the correct engineering page for the part it may provide some insight but only as far as what Ford planned to do

Trans AM cars used aluminum plates??? What Group? Since the cars could only modify the suspension or the engines from production cars in 66 I think they didn't touch those (later owners and classes allowed it though. Interesting I don't see them below
See one of the engine pictures I have of the car listed as #14 in the registry. It has the stamped steel front shock supports with the welded washers - picture taken in 66 when the car arrived in NZ or right after the first race there.
Bob - Sorry I would have written FoMoCo or AUTOLITE stamped/marked Gabriel adjustables,
Merry Christmas to all also......
