Hi Eric, Thanks for the input. If you're dumb, I am a total moron :) I have spent the last 40 years rescuing cars that should've been scrapped. Made some gorgeous cars out of crap and then sold them at a huge loss. My motto is, buy high-sell low. This one is a tough call. It has a lot of...

Subject: 1971 mustang mach 1 h code auto with a 429 CJ I have come to the realization that I have more projects than I have years left. The one that makes the most sense to cut loose of is my 71 Mach 1. Not for the faint of heart or someone not willing or able to tackle something that needs...

Exactly so. The SVO also went into production in the fall of '83 as an '84 model. I owned one years ago and it was built in 11-83. So their answers to both of these questions are wrong, IMO.

It would be nice if someone would reproduce this and the seat belt light that goes next to it. They are almost always shot. I would certainly be intrested in buying both.

Wow! Thank you guys for all the replies. I appreciate it very much. That's pretty much how it looked when I bought it and the those galaxie/XL wheelcovers (which were used on the truck also,) were on it when I bought it. I put a set of magnum. 500's on it later. Sure wish i knew what became pf...

Hello! From around 1977 through 1984, I owned 1F05J135487, a pewter 429 SCJ mach1. I sold it to a friend, who sold it almost immediately to another friend, who then sold it to someone possibly in the Dallas area. I was just wondering if anyone on here has ever seen it, or knows if it even...

HI, You may want to check with Blake at Precision Auto (860-617-0556). His company manufactures beautiful reproduction exhaust components for our cars. I recently bought an H pipe for my 429CJ project car, and am extremely pleased with the quality, fit, and finish. He was very pleasant to...

If the truck is a 73 Ranchero, the brackets and pullies should be the same. the F series never came with a 429, (there was an industrial HD truck 429 used in stuff like F600s, but it was a different animal) in fact, the 460 didn't show up in the trucks until 74. If someone swapped a 429 into...

Here's a possibilty. One year only paint option that was available on 1970 Ford XLs. They referred to it as dual tone paint-The newfashion hit!. It's hard to tell on this one, but it is dark blue over medium blue metallic. I've seen black over brown, black over yellow, and blue over white. I...
