    Vehicles Wanted Wanted Light Pewter or Calypso Coral 71 Boss 351 or Mach 1 with 429

    I've bought from both. It simply depends on the car and price. Dealers don't aways know how rare of a car they might have. I will never consign a car with a dealer though. Sometimes only one person has the car you are looking for if it has a certain rarity and you might have to wait over 5 years...

    Austin Verts Heads Up On TMI Seat Vinyl

    The second A means same pattern with non-knitted vinyl as far as I know. I had a 73 Mach with sports interior that had GAA which had the smooth vinyl middle instead of knitted. It was a loaded to the hilt fleet car I believe built at the San Jose factory. I don't believe it was because of lack...

    Austin Verts Heads Up On TMI Seat Vinyl

    Maybe different factories had different dates when they ran out of the upholstery also. Maybe the seat build date is months before the car build date. Also different colors probably had different dates of when they ran out of comfort weave. Also why did they run out when people could still get...

    Vehicles Wanted Wanted Light Pewter or Calypso Coral 71 Boss 351 or Mach 1 with 429

    They made 4 special paint Calypso Coral Boss 351's which I believe was the only orange shade available. I used to own the only one with white interior and it was loaded to the hilt in excellent original survivor condition with 100k miles. Sold twice in the last 10 years. The only one with...

    Sold 1973 Convertible

    I hate it when people buy untouched cars and even brag about their find how untouched it is and then they touch it too much. This is my biggest problem about letting my car go as being untouched is part of what makes it special especially when it is optioned the way it is. I had someone...

    72 'R' code at Mecuum

    Painted Corvette white, not even a 1972 Ford color with so many to choose from. A car like this should look as it came from ford testing. I consider it somewhat of a project car with its mods. I will never get color changes especially on rare cars. I also wouldn't have painted it as a Boss. I...

    What is a survivor?

    The most beautiful woman in the world won't be considered a survivor if you don't touch her. To be fair, same to the girls here and the most perfect man etc. Restored cars stories are erased. Over restored and two stage paint jobs etc. are modified more than restored in my book. I personally...

    What is a survivor?

    My 73 Convertible is a survivor. It has had the top and a few minor things replaced for function. Does have a couple of rust spots that I haven't touched, but even if they were repaired in the least invasive way it is still a survivor as it is still a small percentage. The car still looks like...

    Like / dislike of 71-73 Mustangs

    I love the unique over the top 70's styling especially with the 71-72 sports grill. Love power windows especially with the Mach as they look so much better with the rear quarter down. Love how the sport deck seat option has the rear carpeted door instead of the awkward fold up in the wrong...

    Exciting development: new upholstery with *real* Comfortweave

    I called TMI a few years ago about grey and white stripe comfort weave which I had on a few cars, and they had no clue what I was talking about. They seemed clueless about any striped comfort weave.

    1972 Mach 1 H code Prior owner restoration that need help.

    I'm generally not a fan of mods, but the situations mentioned here aren't atrocious. I would never do a color change though, buy maybe interior change. I won't buy a car that I can't live with the factory color. I like cars that are a good representation of its color. Recreating a 1971 Shelby is...
