    Hey anyone know if two parts in this picture are available? One is the phenolic block located between the two sections of the Zenith carb body see in this picture . The other is the obviously broken element, the 'hooked' shaped affair. I have superglued it back together and fabricated two small...

    Mirror Location-'63 Srs 3 GT

    Okay, so I own my dads 63 Srs 3, GT. Back in the family after being lost for 27 years. When dad bot it, it didn't have a driver's side, a move to Riverside in 65 he added the mirror-not sure why, bet it was La traffic related. I'll ask him he's old but sharp. So the Talbot mirror is currently...

    Hardtop rear plexiglass-new or make?

    So, I'm finally off my long electrical journey...and onto what I'm guessing is another hard issue. My Srs 3 Gt hardtop rear plexi is shot-no amount of polishing will solve the crazing. With any backlite-the light is blinding and looking our the rear view mirror is a no go. An online Sunbeam...

    Hello all, during it's absence from my family ( sold by the original owner, my dad, in 1977, found and brought home by me, in 2017) , my 63 Srs 3 Gt had it two tanks removed and restored.

    Fuel Shut-off

    Brought my '63 Gt out this weekend after a long winter nap. Checked everything, added some no-E fuel. Drove it about 15 miles, a few stop and goes. Then headed back to the shop. After entering the freeway, after a long, tight left hand on ramp, about the moment I went to 4th gear, the car died...

    GT top plexi rear window

    So my 63 SR III GT is a very patina'd girl.. I've been pulled over a couple times due to the fact that the top's rear plexiglass window is so fogged, and checked, that you can't really see out of it in the rear view mirror, nor through it from the outside. At night the headlights of a following...
