I didn't know about the prototype. When I looked at the site I use for info, it said there was a 4.6l engine available for the 00 Cobra R even though that year used the 5.4.

 

There was supposed to be a regular 2000 Cobra as well as the Cobra R, it was scraped after the 99 fieasco. I think only a few Cobra's were built in 2000 for media and promotional events but none were actually put into production. There was supposed to be a Golden Eye edition with special Mystic paint too. One was built but who knows what happened to it.

 

So who gets it? It has been 24 hours +

 

Boy, you guys need to stop thinking only about present day Mustangs.

 

24 hour rule. Give us your answer Skip but I bet mgreene will chime in with corrections!

 

You guys completely forgot about the original Cobra 'R' Mustang, 289/306HP 1965 Shelby GT350, although I'm pretty sure it put out a lot more HP than that

 

It wasn't a "Cobra R' it was a GT350R

 

I'll go next if you want me to.

 

Go ahead. I should have asked for 'R' Mustangs

 

This is a multi part question.
1. What was the first year a 4spd was offered in a 6 cyl Mustang?
2. What was the name of that 4 spd?
3. Where was it made? (The name is a big hint)
4. Where was the bellhousing for that transmission made?

1. 65
2. Toploader 4 speed (replaced T10 in 64)


I know those two, will work on others later if it doesn't get answered by then.

 

Read the question again!

 

1. 64 1/2 (65)
2. T10
3. Chicago?
4.


Still can't find the last one.

 

My guesses:

1: 1964 1/2 (1965 by serial number )
2: Dagenham
3: England
4: I would guess, Sheffield, AL

 

Thanks for waiting to see if anyone else could come up with it.

I would say those were not guesses but years of education at Ford U!

The Dagenham 4 spd was first offered in 64.5 (65 & 66) model Mustangs as a shared Falcon piece (60-66). It only mated to the 144 - 200 6 cyl. It was built in Dagenham England and based on the Cortina Syncromesh 4-spd. The bellhousing was cast at the Sheffield, AL plant (closed early '80s) along with many other FoMoCo aluminum parts. To my knowledge there was not another 6 cyl/4spd offered until 74 when the V6 was introduced. There are many who figured out that you cam mate a Toploader to an I 6 using a late 66 200 - mid 80's 250 using the v8 3spd bellhousing and drilling 3 holes!

You are next mgreene!

 

In 1969 and 1970 lots of the brackets and undercarriage of Dearborn built Mustangs were painted "slop grey". What is the origin of slop grey?

 

Slop grey is a combination of left over exterior colors which typically produced a fair dark or very dark grey with a slight green or blue tint. Recycling by the head FoMoCo. kennyg

 

kennyg is correct - your go...

 

Describe the fender bolts/difference for early production 64/65 Mustangs and later 65/66's. kennyg
