I have a 1983 Motor Trend featuring an ERA, Contemporary, Butler, Aurora and original '64 Daytona coupe. Mag. is in good condition. I'll sell to highest offer over 25.00 and donate funds to Doug.
I'll pay shipping. I tried to post to classifieds but didn't take.

Afternoon everybody,
I just wanted to offer a very large "Thank you" to my friends at Wilwood Eng for their generous donation to Doug's build. I was dropping off an engineering sample today when I was handed a box by the sale manager!
Two 3/4" and one 5/8" master cylinders and a bunch of braided lines.
I"ll be shipping them via ups today.
Best regards
Jason

I don't know how soon Doug is going to see the last few tremendous posts? I talked to him today and he Certainly sounded like he had just played two rounds of golf! The guy certainly sounded pooped! 
Jason:
I knew there was a reason I switched to "Wildwood" years ago! Great stuff and a great job!
(Where did I ever get that "D" from!? Somebody must have given it to me years and years ago!

DV, LOL!
I cant tell you how often I hear "Wild-wood" lol.....
I have even been "corrected"! "ummm, thats Wild-wood..." ..... 
"Ill be sure to tell Mr Wood (William) that when I see him" LOL
They have always been a great company, in the past to work for and now to deal with as a customer.
This is just another example of that.
Please give Doug my best.

I went to every chemotherapy session with my wife, who had breast cancer. There was not a single session from which she did not return feeling completely exhausted. I was amazed at the number of women who were there, taking their chemotherapy treatments, without someone to drive them home. Later radiation therapy sessions were equally exhausting.
My throughts and prayers are with Doug/767Jockey......he has a long, arduous road ahead of him. The promise of remission may seem out of reach at times, but patience and courage will prevail.....as will he, hopefully!
Cheers from (another) Doug

Finishing rebuilding a 23' Carver Cruiser for my sons up coming wedding, trying to sell almost two dozen motor's, et-al., for my Daughters Mother N Law, (any body need very low mileage 396's, or 4-bolt mains 350's?)
Plus Doug's (767 Jockey's) parts are starting to roll in! I still plan on posting them individually ASAP. About ten boxes so far. Some with one part others are packed to the bulging state!
Wow, those heads are Pricey! I've got heads out the yahoo! but they are all 454's, 283's, and 327 Hi-Po's. No Fords  |

Thanks, Doug...
I really appreciate all the kind words. I hope and pray that your wife is completely cured and after the long arduous journey that you have both traveled together that your lives together continue down a far more happy and peaceful path.
I have not yet been cleared to begin radiation therapy, either medically or by the insurance company. This has been a long week of testing, biopsies, and many medical tests and things that I promise you guys you don't even want to know about..... 
I am exhausted but remain hopeful that I will one day get to drive this car. You guys have no idea the lift that you've given to me, helping me to remain upbeat and have something to look forward to in these dark days. You guys are all just incredible, and I will never be able to adequately thank you. All I can do is say thank you, and have hope that beyond these two simple words you can all understand the gratitude that I feel for each of you. Thanks so much.

Wow! Can you guys believe this? A second manufacturer donating parts to this? Incredible.....
Jason, please thank your friends at Wilwood for me and tell them that I am so thankful and deeply moved not only by this whole grass roots movement by my Cobra brothers, but by the incredible generosity of the wonderful folks at Wilwood. I have their front brakes on the car, I'm even more thankful for that now.
I'm just stunned by what's happening here, and to have manufacturers such as Wilwood and Kirkham voluntarily chip in to someone like me, it's just overwhelming, it truly is. My thanks to you Jason, and to everyone. This is just getting more incredible by the day.
Doug

767Jockey,
We've got an offer for your motor, a "Like new" 850 CFM carb with lines and a dual feed. I don't know whether or not to take it for your engine? What are your plans for Carburation? (At your leisure)

Ed and everyone,
I apologize for not being very responsive nor prolific lately, it's been a very difficult and wearing week medically. I can't imagine what I'd give for just a small amount of energy! 
I need to catch up on all the wonderful best wishes, thoughts, and parts that have been offered to me.
Ed, the carb sounds great. I wonder, however, if it's too big for the lil' old 390 I have been planning now? Perhaps Brent or some of the experienced engine guys who are looking in on this thread can chime in and give their thoughts? I know at least two of the wonderful guys on this thread have mentioned that they may send a carb, so I don't know where we stand on that.
I think I may have found a set of Edelbrock heads. New heads, Manley valves, Crower springs, retainers, keepers, cups, etc. I ran the idea through Brent (and guys, you should all know that Brent has been WONDERFUL with his time and expertise with me). He seems to think that they're good heads, good parts, and a decent price. The guy who owns the heads has offered them to me for $1300. What do you guys think? You all raised the money, I'd like to hear what you think. Building up a set of iron heads would cost only slightly less than this, so I'd have to agree with Brent that this is the way to go.
You guys, and what you're all doing here, is keeping me going. Thanks SO very much!
Doug

That's so wonderful for you to think of me with this, John. I really appreciate it more than I can ever say. Sounds like a really cool magazine, too! Wish we could all see it.
Thanks so much!
