Topic: Just got Marti Report on my 67 GTA convertible

[kwemj 67]

I have a couple of questions on my Marti report that maybe someone can help with. On the tires that the car should have, what style of Firestone tires? And I see it was Sold through FOGG MOTORS LTD in NewWestminister. Would be really cool to find a window or rear dealer emblem from that dealership. Read something about they were the only Shelby dealer in British Columbia and had a race team.
 Any help would be great.

Nicely optioned car.

Since the site has been around for a while, there is a ton of great information that has already been asked.  I did a search and came up with these relevant threads:

There's probably more, but these should get you going.

Thank you for the reply and good information on the tires. Would of been nice if they were the raised white letter Wide Ovals. I think they look better. Also the info on the FOGG Motors dealership. Great read on the Coral Snake website.
 I did look at the discussion on the rear tail lamp black out treatment and by the looks of the numbers on the Marti report there was not many in my color trim combinations .  Sometimes a little hard to understand how many GTA S code convertibles they made? Have lots of work to do on the car, but eventually will be looking for the correct paint markings on front/ rear springs and driveshaft, etc. thanks again for all your guys input.

Yes there is a ton of other things to worry about before you get to the paint mark stuff. Paint marks aren't going to make an incorrect part right for the car.

Plenty of help, information and experience here to help you along the way- One step at a time.

Looks like it a pretty loaded nice car - great and fun car to build

Thank you Jeff and everyone else so far and lots of questions to come along. Very excited to build this car for myself and get it back on the road after a very long slumber.  I recently purchased the car from my cousin that got it from the original owner in 1982. He dove it until 1986 and then parked in garage and started taking apart and that has been where it sat since.  Will attach some pictures of it getting dug out of garage after 33 years!
