SAAC-34

The Shelby American Automobile Club will host SAAC-34 starting tomorrow in Mars, PA and Beaverun Motorsports Complex near Pittsburgh, PA.



"SAAC-34" means that it is the 34th annual convention. Wow, my first one was SAAC-4! That was 30 years ago-hard to believe.



It should be a good time. We will hope to have pictures from the event posted here next week. Click on the above images for more information.

1968 Shelby and California Special Hood Fastener Assemblies

The 1968 Shelby and California Special Hood "Twists" are available again. We have a new part number, because they are now sold by the pair.

Order Part Number EG3621.

1970 Mach 1 Mustang Hood Paint Stencil and Stripe Kits

More new items!

We now have the stripe/stencil kits for the 1970 Mustang hoods. The "straight" stripes are for non-shaker equipped Dearborn built cars. The stripe that curves around is for the shaker equipped Mustangs.

These stripes were originally painted on, but the kits are available as stripes or paint stencils. The engine designation was originally a decal and is available separately also.

Here is what is available:

Mustang Clutch Release Rods

OK-here's another one of those quick, but important, new product posts.

On the 1965 Mustang, the lower clutch release rod (clutch equalizer bar to the clutch lever at bellhousing) was nonadjustable. This was due to the fact that the top rod that runs from the equalizer bar to the pedal was adjustable. This nonadjustable rod was made obsolete from Ford quite a while back, so lots of folks just used the '66 adjustable one.

The 1966 Mustang had an adjustable lower rod because the upper rod to the pedal was nonadjustable.

Got all of that?

Anyway, the 1965 style nonadjustable one is available again. The adjustable '66 style is still available, of course, also.

Here are the part numbers:

BK212 1965 Clutch Release Rod

BK230 1966 Clutch Release Rod

1966 GT350 Shelby American Step Plate Labels

Here is a cool item that we got in a few weeks ago. It has already been an extremely popular part.

They are the step plate (or sill plate) labels for the 1966 GT350 Shelby. These labels can, of course, be used on any step plate. Detail is very important on a part like this, and these labels are very, very nice. They feature the correct raised borders and "CS" logos just like the originals.

These particular labels were originally used on most 1966 GT350 Shelbys except for the later serial numbers. Those later cars had the two line label with Shelby American and Los Angeles, CA."

Order part number IN6721 (sold as a pair.)

Check out the below pictures of the actual labels along with a picture of some originals. Please note that the color variation of the labels in the below pictures are due to lighting and do not accurately reflect the actual color. The actual color of these aluminum labels is just like the original.

1965-66 6 Cylinder Tie Rod Dust Boot

This is a little part, but it is still a nice detail item. It is the correct tie rod end dust boot for 1965-66 6 Cylinder Model Mustangs. This boot features the correct metal ring and was made from the original Ford blue prints and NOS patterns.

Order part number SU581.

We also have these boots available:

SU58 65-66 w/Metal Ring-V8

SU239 65-66 w/o Metal Ring-V8

SU60 70-73

SU610 67-69 w/Metal Ring

1966 Mustang Clutch Equalizer Bar

We now have the Clutch Equalizer Bar, commonly referred to as the "Z-Bar," specifically for the V-8 equipped 1966 Mustang. Previously, the Equalizer Bar was available only for a 1965 under our part number BK351. Really, the only different between the two is the fact that the 1965 has the top block for the adjustable rod that connects to the pedal. In 1966, the block was removed and a non-adjustable bar to pedal rod was used.

The new Equalizer Bar is part number BK3511.

Please keep in mind that we still have the unique Equalizer Bar specifically for the 289 High Performance Model. It is part number BK191, and the block just needs to be removed for the 1966 model.
