- 1973 Convertable ,351 cobrajet,Q code,4 speed Hurst..I've owned her since 1984
how important is correct radio. and where does a body find what was original . Not listed on Elite Report. 6 inch center to center on Bezel. OK Now on with Restoration pics that I have found to date. The 1973 have been off the road since early1987. some injustics may have occured the the next 20 years.. she was on a slow recovery with a good body man who built a rotisserie for her.
the Q code went to a very good engine Builder named Jim Richmond. These past three years have resulted in the nearly completed job. June 20 was the FIRST time I have driven the car on a highway since 1987. All went really well til I let the mechanic behind the wheel. He wanted to stress test....funny terms gentle men have for going 55 MPH, dropping the 4 speed to third and punching it. Of course the only 51 year old part left was the universal at the spline/Driveshaft.ByeBYe. waited for tow. Cant wait for my next test drive.Love all the information here. Seems I knew more about cars when I was younger.
