I suspected from day one that my 73 had the steering column changed out at some point in the past. After recently coming in to possession of the original Ford invoice for the car I see it has a tilt wheel listed, but it's no longer there, confirming my suspicion of a column change. I sure wish...
I just received a scan copy of the invoice to my 73 from the estate of the man I bought it from. I will try to post it later. I had been told it was a "company car" and the DSO of 89 and a copy of the Ford Company Car User Manual bore that out. When I see on the invoice it was sold to "Ford...

KC should be back at the Kansas Speedway. Just spit balling from a gearhead point of view one...
Averaged 14.25 over the 2,550 miles in my '73 Grande' on 2016 Hot Rod Power Tour. Kinda dismal really for a bone stock original 302 auto car. I thought they did better than that. We were hitting the gas pump every 200 miles.
I just can't purchase that one...
Buff's weren't designed to carry cargo, just various bomb racks. There's no floor at all in the bomb bay so a rack to hold the car would have had to be engineered. At only 6 feet wide, the bomb bay isn't wide enough but for the smallest of cars. They may have...
