    Speedometer and Tach rebuild

    That is great news. I have a non operational tach in my car for years now. I have a brand new OEM gauge that I bought years ago, but have not put it in yet. I do worry that the stock one may just break again. It will be really nice to know that we will be able to get a new reliable gauge if...

    New Roommate!

    My solution after 18 years of ownership. Seven years ago I converted my Superformance to under car exhaust. Had Dennis Olthoff do the conversion at their shop so it would be done right. Wasn't cheap, but I have enjoyed the car more without the side pipes. It is still plenty loud, but not...

    Tampa area paint shop

    PeteK, I'm pretty sure that the Superior Auto Body I referenced in Pinellas Park has absolutely no connection to the Superior Auto Body you are talking about. The one I'm speaking of has been in business since 1967, is family owned, owners name is Ron. They have nearly a five star rating with...

    Tampa area paint shop

    One who does great work and is fair on pricing I thought is Superior Auto Body. They did some amazing paint and body work on a Superformance Cobra that I have. I removed the side pipes and put under body exhaust on it. They filled in the large holes and blended the paint (Indigo Blue)...

    Wheel centres for BBS optional wheel - now available

    Those look great. Is anyone redoing the steering wheel center cap anymore? Mine has a bit of corrosion as do most of the originals. I know Shelby at Elite used to redo them, but don't know if they still do.

    Looking for Shelby or Superformance Street version Roadster

    Beautiful car, what engine does it have? I have a Superformance that I've had for 18 years, and I still love it. I had Olthoff Racing in North Carolina convert to under car exhaust and put the hoop bumpers on it too. Still have the roll bar and hood scoop, which I don't mind. I like the...

    Thanks, and you are most welcome.

    CSX4289

    Yes, they came with the raised white letters. You could turn them around and have blackwalls if you like that look better. I like the raised white letters myself. Not sure what sizes they have available now. When I ordered them a couple years ago, they were the same size as the tires I was...

    I replaced my tires on my Superformance Cobra a couple years ago with the Mickey Thompson tires and they have been great. Can't believe how reasonable they are too.

    Tires?

    I have a brand new set that have been in a climate controlled garage with the same late 18 date codes. It is my fault they were not put on the car a year ago. Are you going to use them? I'm thinking it would still be OK as I don't track or drive my car hard.

    Stereo sounds mediocre at best

    That is odd, does it seem like stations aren't coming in clear, like your hearing static? I have the Mac in mine and it sounds pretty decent, albeit a little "boomy" with the sub right next to your ear. Don't need a whole lot of bass in the tone controls, that is for sure. Where are you in...

    What would you be looking to buy next?

    For what it's worth, I too always thought I would own a Superformance GT40. Just stunning to look at. About five years ago, I had the chance to sit in a new one that was at the Superformance dealer in Naples FL. Gorgeous in the gulf Blue livery with all the decals. I'm 6' 2" and tried to get...

    Fox History lesson

    Here are the pictures of my 1986 Fox GT from a photo shoot that was done by Mustang Monthly back in 2001. Bought it new, still have it, has about 45,000 miles on it.

    New Source for Clamshell & Bonnet Gas Struts

    Ironic you posted this, I ordered fronts and rears from Autonation in White Bear Lake three days ago. As others have said, fronts aren't currently available. I'd take a set of fronts, and probably rears too if the ones I ordered look like they have any leaking problems. Thanks!
