Among the finds





Mains Girdle WITH dipstick provision- have not test fitted it yet

UHV distributor [yay!]

PS bracket spacers

Manual brakes rod- who needed that?

NOS? tailpipe hangers? They are idential L and R??

Carb base plate, thought it was '68 but appears to be short-peg '69+ unit

And the elusive crackless J intake, this one dated "58"

Those tailpipe hangers look like '68 non 442, left and right are opposite. PN 1236068 '68-'70. Not wagons/ not sixes. I am very unhappy I was not in attendance...an unavoidable situation has arisen. Nice score on the UHV.

non-442 eh?
These are identical and so was another "set" I saw for sale. These have beasty rubber parts and look durable and say "Canada" on 'em.

watch for more facebook pix.

One vendor had a posi diff sitting next to an obviously 66-67 Toro air cleaner. I asked him, "is that a Toro rear end, then?"

:-)

Wait, what? ha ha ha

J-398662 = 68-9 BBO exc. Toro or '69 H/O
I convert them to '69 H/O J-405233 for those in need.

This one is for you
"Numbers Matching" says the sign
although that engine is stored away and the engine in the car is fuel injected.



Please note the collapsed upper radiator hose in the engine shots of the '68 with OAI.

Interesting day all things considered
