    FE Alignment

    Will just have to start from scratch. I have no idea who did it or when the last alignment was done. I do suspect the tires installed at to low an air pressure didn't help whatever the real problem is.

    FE Alignment

    My tire store installed all 4 tires with 26 psi. Fronts and rears are totally different sizes, 17x7 fronts, 18x8 rears and tires sized proportionally similar to the wheels. When I was going to have the car loaded heavily for a week travelling on the Power Tour I bumped the tires up to 37psi. The...

    FE Alignment

    Kinda worried about my front end alignment. The car drives ok, best I can tell. It does have a tendency to road walk, but hey it's a 43 year old car... Here's my issue. I parked the car after returning from HRPT in June and haven't drove it. It was due for service so I got it out and took it to...

    American Car Magazine - 71/73 love?

    Someone recently remarked how long the hood is on my '73, but I believe the 1970 - 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo still holds the world record for "longest hood on a production vehicle".

    Two old buddies and a Boss 351 on Power Tour

    Pretty much spot on for us too... We did the Long Haul in my original condition '73 Mustang Grande Coupe... Was a trip of a lifetime though.

    Headlight Trim Color

    http://www.7173mustangs.com/attachment.php?aid=40014 I see this one on here and it is supposed to be a well documented original car. It appears to have the same grille as mine and it has the bright headlight surrounds. Personally, I like the blacked one and I think it would be easier to make...

    Headlight Trim Color

    The trim around my headlights are different. One is polished aluminum, the other is matte/flat black with just the outer edge left polished bright. Which one is correct for a 1973 Mustang Grande?

    Back from the Power Tour

    Made it home safely from a week in car guy's heaven. Saw a few 71-73 Mustangs on the Power Tour. We made the long haul in my original '73 Grande with minimal trouble. We had to change out a master cylinder that blew out the back half during a panic stop in heavy rains on a Houston freeway...

    DMV versus Reality?

    Texas cracked down on people lying on purchase prices trying to beat down the 6.25% sales tax on vehicle sales a few years ago. They have some form of working from the book value, but it's never come into play with me. I bought my '73 way way cheap, paid with a check and took a copy of the...

    Washed

    Yes. It was a Dearborn company car for first year then bought in Dearborn and drove home to Dallas. Original title I turned in when I transferred it to me had transferred it directly from FoMoCo to the original owner. I did a high res color scan of it first because that's kind of unique to see...

    Washed

    I finally broke down after 8 months and washed the 5 years worth of original as found garage dust off for a local car show this weekend. Cleaned up pretty good... I'd go as far as saying the wash job turned my $600 car into at least a $700 car, well worth the $3.50 it cost. Wonder what wax might...
