Key or ...reach through window and lock it.😁

Same is true for passenger side.

Lock one from inside and key on last door.

I can say I have locked my keys in the trunk.😂😂😂

FPA headers are not cheap nor are they inexpensive.

The car missing its VIN isn't stolen.  That car was used to make a stolen car legal.  The car that VIN is active on is the one that was stolen.

The problem with finding if the VIN is active is that you probably have to search each state individually.

Now, alternately, there is a way get a car a new VIN if the old ones are gone.  The police come out, inspect the car to make sure its not stolen, there's paperwork from them and then you go to the DMV and get a title and VIN.  In the end its pretty low risk. 

Or, find a rust heap convertible the same year and rebody it.  Cars this old that are actually rust free are so rare now that someone needs to resurrect it. 

I gotta start searching the background of my pics for incriminating evidence before Lt Dan busts me 😁

If y'all have ever seen RV6's 67, you know it's a clean machine. So I don't know why I'm impressed that the 62k mile 1987 944 turbo is cleaner than a Safeway chicken. If the odometer was rolled back to 10k miles the condition would support it. Pristine is a pretty good description of it.

To make this Mustang related, after I dropped off the 944 at my mechanic's place,  oops I mean my brother's place, I drug home his 65 C code coupe that's been in the family since new, that we're putting together for another brother who lives in Round Rock, and owned it in his high school years.

Cleaning the garage, make me an offer.  Please post in this topic because i don't seem to get PM notifications.

Yes, Exploder intake.

On my '68, with the door open I can set the door lock then close the door while holding the outside handle button in.  This will allow the lock to remain locked with the closed door.  However, if I close the door without holding in the handle button, the lock will pop back up.  I know the '67 doors also work this way.  My question is are you required to use the key to lock the '65s and '66s or can you also lock these doors without the key?

Sheriff’s office says it is not stolen, per the vin. But that doesn’t mean that vin is not active on a car that was cloned and moved to another state. 

I just went through similar issues on my 68 GT500KR, so I don’t need the aggravation of dealing with it.

 
But can they tell you where it is? Good chance it's not in the same place that you are seeing it.

I have had expensive and cheap, long, mid, and short tube. On a 289/302/5.0 and 351. I believe there are two options, either JBA stainless mid-length or Hi-Po Manifolds.

With your configuration (cable clutch and Borgenson) I would put a set of Hi-Po manifolds on it and never look back.

Made that decision in 06.  Bought a new set from NPD, brushed on a coat of Por-15 Exh paint and they still look great today.  And....everything clears and fits.

What is currently installed?
 

Let me add that the pedal only travels 1 to 2 inches when not running and is setting where it should.
Only when vacuum (Engine running)is applied to the booster does the pedal travel 4 to 5 inches to about a 1" off the floor.

Yes sir
There is a light drag when turning by hand
