Ok, some of you know I purchased a 1973 vert last year that was special order paint car with black which was not an option. When you get a Marti on one of the special order cars he cannot tell you what was in the order. He said all records kept by the DSO were destroyed. I found the build sheet and it gives instructions to "Install Argent Front Bumper". Everyone thinks this is crazy but this car backs up the info.
Well this morning while looking on eBay another one is there and it has original paint. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-Mustang-Convertible-/231876635071?forcerrptr=true&hash=item35fceca9bf:g:dt4AAOSwAuNW5aW7&item=231876635071
I figured that since the rubber bumper came in painted that Ford picked Argent for any special paint cars to prevent having to mix special colors with the additives for flex in the paint. If you look at the car even the rubber filler pieces in the rear in front of the bumper are also argent.
I have asked if he has looked for the build sheet and I hope he will if he has not. The car is really rusty and looks like the bids are just people known to just play on eBay. Not worth the current price but it is a Q code also.
At least I found a little more proof that they built them this way, odd but they did.
