check ANTIQUE AUTO BATTERY : http://www.antiqueautobattery.com/ i just got a SEALED battery from them for my 57 Bird that is authentic ORIGINAL LOOKING, original Ford POWER PUNCH 32 style with correct scripts and raised letter areas , with screw on caps. pricey,but no one knows but me that it is a sealed battery. HOWEVER< it is actually a SEALED battery placed INSIDE a correct looking battery case. remove the vent caps and you see a battery inside. obviously NO water or acid to be added. I suspect it is an Optima battery inside, but don't really know. They might have a Mustang original style done the same way. If it does not show on their website, give them a call. In my case it was not on the site, but was available. Since my 65 Mustang battery is still relatively new, i did not ask about any offerings for Mustangs.

Luckly just bought on from another Mustang owner that bought a 27 and it would not fit.

Hope all of our listers/friends in that area are O.K., and their Shelbys and Mustangs as well, cause as far as I know, Shelby did not build an Amphicar. Maybe get in touch with the list and let us know you are O.K.? Now for batteries. Have been trying to buy a sealed Autolite battery from NPD for a couple of months and they have been on backorder. Phoned yesterday and learned they ain't coming at all - New Castle Battery has gone belly up. Ouch! Any other suppliers that anyone knows of or are we back to the old dry charge style Autolite or a plain jane black job with an Autolite cover? Any tips on where to purchase a sealed Autolite would be appreciated. Ron
