Topic: 65 GT mufflers

[peter marygold]

Some years back I bought a pair of mufflers that were listed as NOS for 65-66 GT from NPD. However when I received them,they were nothing to what I was expecting.These mufflers are 4 inches in diameter,x 17 inches long, with inlet & outlet in line.The part number embossed on them is C4RA-5230-A,with FOMOCO logo.I have read up on just about everything related to 65-66 muzzies.I even have the Ford Master Parts Catalouge,yeah the real big ones that I use for book ends,but there's no reference to that part number.Can I use these for concours?Pete.

No, they are totally wrong for concours.  Just a generic Ford replacement part.  Think, "one size fits all" use.

Thanks Charles, looks like they will be going on EBay then,Pete

Unfortunately, this is one of those parts that the Ford catalogs call out as a replacement, so of course some folks advertise them as correct. 

Depending on if you have a '65 or '66 and when it was made in '65, check here for an exact reproduction:

Consider that there are 3 different dual exhaust systems used during 64.5-65 production.
