    I got that part. It would take all day to look up each word on the page. Wondering if it gives us any clue about selling/shipping to the US...

    The website is in Portuguese not Spanish. Google translate can help you make your way through the site. The item has a literal translation like this:

    Spoiler Side To Side Exit Maverick New Sport Model

    The website has some neat stuff. Since I live in Canada, I am saving up for one of these: http://produto.mercadolivre.com.br/MLB-432232516-velocimetro-maverick-_JM (y)

    Actually it is Portugese.

    No, it has no shipping price. It says that the buyer must call for a shipping quote. Basically saying that it is oversized shipping.

    i believe the rocker panels you are looking at are mustang parts.
    yes, the batistinha speed shop cars used them, but as far as i know, they were heavily modded mustang parts. mid 80ies svo mustang, i think that's what they were made for. i remember posting a link to an ebay.com auction some time ago.

    as far as the speedo is concerned: i have one of those. don't buy the speedo alone, grab a full instrument cluster. the speedo has different mounting holes, so you need at least the back part of the cluster housing. it still has to be modified, as the gas gauge has slightly different mounting locations. drilling the holes out was sufficient on mine to mount the us gas gauge in the brazilian housing. pics can be found in my restoration thread somewhere.

    I use google chrome in linux, and when I go to that page, a bar appears across the top of my window saying "This page is in PORTUGUESE, would you like to translate to ENGLISH or another language?"

    I do that a lot for a friend on facebook who lives in Sweden. Sometimes, the translations are WAY funnier than what the original poster wrote. So i send the translation back to him for a laugh.
