    Greetings,

    By chance does anyone have a lead on an original early '65 porthole hood?

    Thanks in advance!

    Try Pete Geisler at Orlando Mustang, www.orlandomustang.com, his phone number is on the webpage. He's got a ton of hard to find goodies.

    Well, unfortunately, Pete doesn't have one.

    Any and all future leads appreciated.

    Best regards,

    Neil,
    This one was sold on Ebay last year. It was presented as being
    original for a 65 Shelby and because of the lack of the extra rib
    from the middle to the front it must be early. Maybe you can track it down via search of completed autions on Ebay.

    I just checked on Ebay under Advanced Search and unfortunately I don't see a way to search for completed auctions--is there some way to do this that I'm not picking up on?

    By chance you wouldn't happen to have the item number it was listed under?

    Thanks very much.

    Neil

    Hi Neil,
    There is a way to search on completed auctions and I did that
    but unfortunately it didn't go far back enough.
    Will check my emails if my friend said something about this hood to me
    at the time it was on Ebay. Don't have the item #.

    Hi Neil,
    Have been able to track down the guy who bought the hood
    on Ebay and which I took the picture and my friend is calling or emailing him asking if he still has the hood. The years pass by quick for an old guy like me.
    It's about two years ago it was on Ebay.

    Neil,
    Please send me a message with your email adress and we can
    continue the communication there. Want to make sure the guy
    who bought the hood is okay with giving out his name and
    email adress.
