Thought this was a pretty strong price for something that is technically incorrect:

I saw that too, few people went wild who probably didn't know the difference.

I have one identical, figured it was just a novelty item.  Maybe I should list it!

[kutzoh]

What is it's intended application? I assume from the part number it wasn't for the mustang originally.

Surely if listed by the MCA national head judge it would go for at least double that price.
no wonder you didnt want to sell it to me last year.  Hahaha!!!

Nah, I wouldn't flaunt my position with MCA for personal gain.

It will be here when you arrive later in the year.

Why is it not technically correct?  Curious minds would like to know.

[aaatp]

I'm guessing it's not technically correct, because originals originals were made of cardboard not plastic.

I came across the listing this morning while doing my "daily checks". I saved a picture for reference, adding it to the "tar" covered one that was listed last year. Interesting the different "styles" that Ford offered as service parts. Personally I think it looks MUCH nicer than the plastic repop being offered...just not for the listing price!

[CharlesTurner]

It's a much improved piece over the original cardboard type.  I suppose if you wanted a genuine Ford part, it would be a decent "upgrade."

so now if they would just repop the cardboard ones . it would be another part were would be forced to buy.

You are most likely kidding but if someone would repro one correctly it would be a welcome addition to the growing number of correct reproduction items needed and wanted by our community to better represent the historical build aspect of the cars IMHO. Bob

To complete the picture or at least  show some who may never have seen a nice original version
Only one I've seen - thought it was allot of money when I found it in the 80's








Agree - this would be a great piece to reproduce though not sure if it would be viable. Sure an easy item to deduct for - especially in the northern and eastern regions of the US

[CharlesTurner]

I'm sure you are on the lookout for a '67 June/July car that you can use that piece on, right?!?!      

I think a faithful reproduction could be sold in the $30-50 price range.  Would be interesting to do some research on the proper tooling to make such a part.  It's not quite as straight-forward as a glove-box liner.

Jeff -- can you restore the pics? It's been a few decades since I've seen a nice one.
