Back when Radio Shack was around, I bought what was called a "ZoomBack", which was a tracking device that would show where your vehicle is on a map, on your home computer. I used it to know where my teenage daughter's car was 24/7. I went through a ****** divorce ( is there any other kind?), and...

With a LoJack, the cops will locate it within 45 minutes.

I can't verify if dealers went to frames instead of emblems, but a good many , if not most, eventually, went to license frames. Show 'em if you got 'em.

What are even more collectable, are cherry dealership license plate frames. I just missed out on a great set of Russ Davis Ford ( Covina, California) frames. My Mach 1 was sold from that dealer, and Gas Ronda, of Mustang drag racing fame, was sponsored by Russ Davis Ford as well .

I park my car outside, in the driveway day and night. Everyone sees it, everyone knows it's there. it's not going anywhere, as I take the rotor out of the distributor. Just unsnap the cap, pull the rotor off, and snap the cap back down. 30 seconds to disable. I've also got a Lo Jack type...

Hey! I used to own a '70 Olds 442 W-30, great car. Some years back, my son was 15, and I offered my Mach 1 to him when he got his driver's license,....he declined the offer, saying my Mach was "...an old man's car "". When I asked him what he thought was cool, he said " a Scion". Good luck...

The elephant in the room, is that rip-off Chinese companies are not going to just say "Oh, Sorry, we won't do that again. We've destroyed all of the tooling...". Oh hell no, these rip-off Chinese companies are making too much money to just stop. They'll re-name, re-package, and they are...

Insert Napoleon Dynamite saying ".......lucky....."

You know, I'm the same way. Anytime someone in a movie just gets into an aircraft and starts it up in seconds, I groan. Whenever I see car chase scenes and the soundtrack has the car just rowing through gearchange after gearchange when they're almost always an automatic, I roll my eyes. And...

I'm kinda intrigued by people who want to go with an EFI system, when , for the most part, it appears those same people have difficulty to overhaul or troubleshoot their carburetor. Carburetors are simple, reliable fuel delivery units, and perfect for the type of engines used in our Mustangs...

Another good lookiing 71-73 Mustang! Great car, Congrats on joining us, from Boise , Idaho.

Well silly, obviously it's a much larger version of a Poon!

I believe the Mach 1s did all come with the more robust " competition suspension" , stock. The four-barrel , and Boss cars I believe had the staggered shocks. I think the Boss and other 4-speed cars probably had even heavier leaf springs, but don't quote me on that. Some of the guys here have...

There's a Fairlane/Torino/Galaxie Restoration Parts company called Dearborn Classics, that sells the Tasca reproductions. This is an old catalog so price , I'm sure, is changed.

This is chrome, and about 11" long...click on it to see the entire metal emblem.

How many of us are lucky enough to have a Ford dealership emblem that's your name????

I know the Tasca Ford dealer emblems are being reproduced. In the sixties, Tasca was a big player in offering High Performance Fords. I believe Bob Tasca was involved with the '68 428 Cobra Jet Mustang being built.

Money is tight?? Likely you should not be considering any sort of engine swapping.

I was aware of just how crappy the "Pro-Comp" aluminum heads are, years ago, when doing engines at Valley Head Service. The guys in the cylinder head department would always show me destroyed cyl heads, a lot goes sideways when racing, but the Pro Comp heads had issues right out of the box. As...

Coming along...... finally, the swap that started it all, the Australian cylinder heads. Previously, the heads were cleaned, magna-fluxed ( crack checked ), and the rocker pedestals were machined down for screw-in studs and guide plates. I just had hardened exhaust seats put in, new guides...
