Yes, the arm chair order sheet, and window sticker are in with photos here, as we said there were no Mach 1 convertibles made but this one is, but Ford wouldn't grant a Mach 1 declaration, but would give the GT name to it.
In fact here is (owner's name) number, he is the original owner please give him a call, he can explain. - (NUMBER)
thank you
Dear cardamon10,
I'm only interested in the investment of this example if it has suitable paper documentation from the dealership substantiating the package.
I would be interested in seeing a photo of that arm chair/arm rest order sheet; that would be of interest, as the the window sticker was only partially printed in the 1970's; the text was added later.
Let me know.
Dear cudak,
This is what the original owner says:-
This guy is wrong about the font. Arial font has been around since the first electric typewriters were in use sixty years ago. The Frank Cone Ford dealer added package document was prepared by the dealership and is not a FoMoCo Corporate document and is probably why the type font doesn't match. All of the service receipts and other maintenance documents were printed out on the same type of printer using roll punched paper and the font matches. This was the type of equipment used 45 years ago. There is no way to absolutely prove the existence of Frank Cone Ford's sales program other then what was found in the vehicle. The special equipment on the subject car could have been ordered for any Mustang convertible in 1971. The fact that Frank Cone used the package as a marketing scheme does not make these cars more unusual in my opinion. You could not buy a Mock One convertible so Frank Cone created the dealer optioned GT. As far as having the subject car MCA judged, the Frank Cone Ford marketing scheme, to help sell these cars, would not in any way affect this excellent example of a beautiful survivor Mustang in a MCA judging. In this case, this fine old Mustang tells it's on story about how well it has been cared for and maintained over the years. The only way to demonstrate this fact is to see and drive the car first hand. As all car guys know, all old cars have a story to tell that is handed down from owner to owner. The car itself tells the story the best. This Mustang has never been wrecked or mistreated and has always been owned by adults that loved and cared for it up to the day we sold the car. The car would not have been sold then if I would have had a son, daughter or grand kids that I could have left it to.
Dear cardamon10,
I can see that I am not compatible with the person who owns this car. Not only is his claim about the Arial font untrue (Google Monotype's ownership of the font if any doubt), the font is unquestionably Arial; it is not a similar font produced prior to it.
What's more - and I realized this only after doing some research comparing the Marti with the list of dealer modifications - I never knew continuous form paper to have uneven, unequal holes. Compare the Cone Ford document with the window sticker. There's no way you could have fed that paper through a dot matrix or line printer and expected it to print right.
To hear him describe it, one would think that this car is no more special than any other 1971 M-code. I'm inclined to believe it at this point.
I thank you for your time, but I'm going to put my efforts towards finding a more unique example with greater collector interest and value.
