Doc,
Picture of the original door dataplate now added to the web page and attached below, can't see how I forgot to do that in the very first place.
Body: 63A-2+2 Fastback
Color: F-Arcadian Blue (aka: Guardsman Blue)
Trim: 22-Blue Interior
Date: 03R- Aprile 3rd, 1965 Scheduled Build Date
DSO: 64-New Orleans
Axle: 1-2:80:1 open rear end
Transmission: 1- 3spd manual
VIN: 5F09A684438
Rest of suspension is in excellent condition, having been serviced regularly before it's restoration and parts replaced as needed according to the owner I purchased it from. No play that I can feel, although if I keep it and sell the ERA (one will be gone within the next 4-6 weeks), I would put in a Mustangs Plus "Magnum" suspension kit for under $500 so that it would handle a little better at the track events I plan to attend. Manual steering that you can use with two fingers, tough for a 90 degree turn when completely stopped, but nothing worse than our Cobras. I believe the rear is a 3:00:1 open 8 incher with a wide ratio 4spd transmission. Any other questions, just let me know.
Tony,
It was nice speaking with you this afternoon.....Enjoy your honeymoon
Bill S.
