    Parting Out 1971 Coupe

    Ok, started to disassemble and see what I've got. Misc 351 2v parts. intake, valve covers, heads, air cleaner. I don't trust the block without a tear down because it ate a cam. Passenger side fender looks to be in pretty good shape other than 3 or four coats of paint. The top one might be...

    1971 Map Light Wiring

    I've got one. Only one I have ever seen. And it does a lot more than just that. Runs from the driver side door switch to the map light to the relays above the dash and then down to the passenger side door switch. Im know because it took me about two hours to remove it without cutting or...

    And here all this time I thought mine was wrong because I have hockey stick and pinstripe but no molding.

    Rarities and Oddities

    I once owned a 64.5 coupe with a high compression 200 1-I6 , C4 and 3.50 rear end gears (Sucker launched like you wouldn't believe and ran out of steam at about 35mph). I bought it from the original owner who was a ford dealer and he claimed he special ordered it that way as a demo car because...

    Mechanical or electric aftermarket gauges?

    I had a mechanical oil gauge line break once and pour HOT oil all over a cute gal I was on a date with. Needless to say no second date. :(

    ENGINE TROUBLE

    71/72 engine mounts bracket vs 73

    I had a similar problem when I built my 71. I ordered motor mounts from the local parts house. Installed them and the hole wouldn't line up. After a little bitching they brought me out another set which looked the same BUT fit just fine.

    WTH

    Ok, should I say this one is cheap fiberglass?

    WTH

    The shape is close to the OEM spoiler on my 71 but it's fiberglass and look at this base. Possibly someone's 1980's attempt at a reprop?????

    Parting Out 1971 Coupe

    Don't know yet. Car arrived today at my buddies shop but I only got to spend about 30 minutes looking at it before he closed for the weekend. Did notice something odd. Basically as you can imagine the interior is pretty neglected but I looked at the dash pad and it looked flawless. Odd I...

    What would it take for you to sell it.

    Not a fair question. I sold my first Mustang back in the day to pay for a Wedding. Three years later I had No Mustang, No House and No Wife. So the current wife Might sell this one after I'm gone. But truth be told if selling your Mustang would leverage you up economically you should do it cuz...

    what do y'all think?

    I don't know. I know on the east coast you call that workable sheet metal buy here in California we would call that scrap. But I'd probably pay $500 for it if it were out here. Drive train is probably worth that. As for restoring it by the time you media blast and paint you'll be digging a...
