69-70 Firewall to Steering Column Seal

Here is another one of those neat little parts that you may have overlooked and don't even know that it is available. It's the rubber steering column seal that you see at the firewall in the engine compartment on 1969 and 1970 model Mustangs.

This part is not a simple die cut piece like the ones for the 1965-66 and 1967-68 Mustangs that we also offer. This seal is actually molded in rubber like the original. The original blue prints from Ford were used to make this seal exactly like the original. It is easily visible from the engine compartment area and almost always needs replacing. Just another nice little detail for your restoration.

Order part number SU772.

65-67 289 High Performance Harmonic Balancer

Here is a cool item that just arrived. It is a very, very nice reproduction of the 65-67 289 Hi-Po Harmonic Balancer. Original ones are getting more difficult to find, so we are glad to see this on the market. It is just like the original except for the C50E part number and FoMoCo Logo, and you can't see these anyway once the crank pulley is on the engine.

We have a limited quantity in stock now. Order part number EG6911.

Customer Car Feature-1966 Mustang Coupe

We want to thank Jimmy Stephens from Tennessee for sending us pictures and information about his nice Candy Apple Red 1966 Mustang Coupe.

Jimmy purchased this car just two months ago. It was last painted in 1998 and also has a restored interior. It was originally built in San Jose, CA in November of 1965. During the mid '90's the body and paint work was done along with the engine and transmission rebuild by an owner in Michigan. The last owners had the car for the last seven years performing minor improvements. The car has been used for car shows and cruise in's for the last seven years. It was the last owner's engagement present!

Some of the improvements include power steering and a "Daily Driver" Air Conditioning system along with chrome accessories in the engine compartment.

Jimmy sold his '06 Honda Civic and plans to use this '66 Mustang as his everyday, daily driver.

65-66 Mustang Instrument Bezel with Woodgrain

If you have a '65 or '66 Mustang with the Deluxe "Pony" Interior, you should have an instrument bezel and glove box door with the woodgrain insert.

You are probably looking at the picture and saying "These Instrument Bezels have been available for years!" Well, these are a bit different. This bezel features Metal Woodgrain Inserts like our Glove Box Doors. With these Metal Inserts, you do not have to worry about the vinyl decal material peeling or shrinking like on the cheaper ones (we still have these also -IN4.)

Order part number IN399.

We have not had these short power steering hoses for a while for your Mustang. These are the correct ones with the different bends on each hose like the original. The ones that we have had-SU830-are a replacement style with both hose being identical. They will work, but these correct ones work much better.

Order part number SU831. They are in stock now!

Ford Tooling Taillight Panel

We carry many Ford Tooling Mustang parts. These are parts made in the original Ford Tooling. Some are even made by the manufacturer that supplied Ford with the particular part. Our Ford Tooling sheet metal parts are some of these parts. Today, we will look at the 65-66 Taillight Panel. We, of course, also have the imported reproduction. It is cheaper and a fairly nice part. The Ford Tooling part is just nicer. There are subtle details in the stamping of this part that makes it much more like the original panel that was in your Mustang when it was built in the sixties.

It is really difficult to see these differences in pictures, but we have posted some here anyway. If you have any questions, just give us a call at 540-896-2695.

We, of course, have other Ford Tooling sheet metal parts such as Fenders, Stone Deflectors, Front Valances and Hoods.

The Ford tooling panel is SM902.

The imported version is Part number SM901.
