Did the car come with A/C from the factory?

I spent $1000's of Cdn loonies on shipping, mostly from NPD because I think they are the best... Yes, there are all the additional UPS upcharges, and whatever else was tacked on that was a PIA, but no one held a gun to my head. I did take advantage of the $300 no shipping costs where possible...

I bought my replacements through NPD a few years back. Not sure if they ae still available as they were not a popular part to replace. As I wanted the original look when finished, I managed to remove and reuse the original staples as well, time consuming but worth the effort in the end on my build.

Good price....

Good memory... It is Coupe, not a Grande. 4-spd w/AC. 48k orig mi. Has been partially repainted...

The key point being that your car is not an original J or C code hence it is not necessary to have the original shroud. as for price, I have gone through this a couple times in the last 30+ years on searching out and purchasing this item. The last time I purchased an original was for my current...

No. Just No.

The seat belts in my '71 (with standard white interior which made it a Marti holy grail one of one.... were not black (ok, maybe from years of abuse and leaking convert top fluid in the back seat area, lol). These are the before and after pics on my restoration...

I have never seen a clear answer on this question. My 71 J Code Vert has AC and no PS cooler. However, before I got the car in 2015, the engine was out at least twice for rebuilds and the car in general had been driven very hard before going into long term storage. When I restored the car, I did...

Decided to take the 73 coupe out for a good run to a small Ford Show 50 mi from my home. I had not started the car in months, but tried it last night and it would not start. Did a quick check with some fuel poured down the carb and she ran briefly. Tried starting again and it started right up...

You can continue to vouch for him... I will continue to state it as I have both seen and researched the issue. If the owner is not going to reply to my queries, then it must be so...

There is definitely an issue with how Marti interprets the Ford data to produce his reports. If his reports were in fact a copy of the factory invoice then altered to produce his reports, there would be no one talking about it today. My car is a perfect example as the factory invoice does not...

I have found variances with Marti reports, for some odd reason, it mainly deals with the addition of the bumperettes (front and rear) that is listed on the Marti but no evidence of ever being installed on the car at the factory and the factory invoice (L. Eminger) does not show it as being an...

Ouch... I just paid $2000 cdn for this set up, all new. Had it shipped to Buffalo and i drove over to pick up. Still, mega cash...
