I have a rear window without the defroster. Do you want tinted or non tinted?

Vickie; I will also be bringing a shifter without the knob if you still need it.

I will be arriving sometime on Saturday in a yellow GT with a Pennsylvania antique plate like my avatar.

The web link is : AutoMat Auto Interiors & Tops -Home Page
Click on carpets than Imports download file or call them They have quality Carpet sets as I have had mine for about 10 years, and still looks great.
Hope that will help you.
The Automat folks I'm sure make nice stuff, however I checked on Manta carpet some time ago and found them to be VERY expensive (at least in my opinion). I think a Manta carpet set was going for over $400. I have recently found another vendor in CA (Chester and Herod) that has a complete Manta carpet set for $200 or so, with another $30 shipping. I have no idea on quality, although if you google them they are held in high regard by a lot of classic car groups. It should be ok for my $900 Manta.
Weblink is Auto Carpet Kit Manufacturing but you'll need to email to get a quote. They have replied to all my emails VERY quickly - I'll be ordering soon.

Elwood, see you soon!

Unless someone wants to drop one off in Fredericksburg on your way back down south or on your way north?? YES, I will pay for it!!

This is to repair the massive tree dent in the roof.... SO with the tree dent, mailbox dent, and the cow dent, my poor GT justs wants to be repaired and on the road again. I miss driving it.

Is anyone in need of a nice set of Ascona big bumpers complete with signals and very nice rubber pads? I can bring them along to Carlisle to save shipping costs.

Looks like I'll be having a busy week. Business trip to New Orleans on Monday returning home Thursday evening. Leaving for Carlisle early Friday morning. I'll have to pack anything I'm bringing this weekend. Glad that I am not setting up the parts space.

Well I compiled a little list that I have been kind of after for a while:
pop out rear windows w/hardware (GT)
great condition rear sidemarkers (GT)
Passenger side window trim only the top part (GT)
would consider a driver seat in back in VERY good condition (GT)
sprint manifold
3/4 wheel cylinders

post if you have anything on the list that can end up at carlisle.

Window Glass ONLY

Hi Jordan:
I think I have some pop out glass that is in good shape - but no hardware. I'll check it out tomorrow night and let you know.

Would anyone coming to Carlisle might have a set of 73 GT wheels. "Supposedly, even thought the wheels look like regular rally wheels, the ones stamped "GT" have a different off-set. But, I have someone looking for a set of 73 rally wheels STAMPED with the GT on them.

You got it. I'll also bring a tinted one so if you like it, you can have it. I have 6 back windows, 3 tinted, 3 non tinted. None with rear defrost. Of course my GT has the rear defrost so I don't have a replacement if needed

I believe I have one with defrost - if you want it, it's yours.

Anyone have a turn signal switch for a 74 Manta. If you do let me know. I'll probably be using hand signals on the way to Carlisle.

Anyone interested in FI parts? I still have a few used computers, a manifold or two, wiring harness and a few other odds and ends.

No interest in a NOS '73 Manta rear bumper?

PM me if you're interested and want to pick up at Carlisle.
