I have a yellow 73 vert and have the original top boot. I think the car looks a lot better without the boot than with the boot. For whatever reason, the boot hiding the convertible top just doesn't present as nice as the top folded down. Just my opinion . . .

Do you still have the original valve? I ask, because mine stopped working a while back. It was stuck closed. I removed it, cleaned it with brake fluid, then let it sit in vinegar overnight, and now it works perfect.

I agree. Something is off. I would ask for customized pics (pics taken of something extremely specific that proves he has the car in his possession.

I couldn't be further at the other end of the spectrum. :). Private party sale all day. Always buy the seller.

Interesting thought. I'm pulling the engine this winter. Perhaps I'll replace the pump as a precaution.

Hi! I have a 650 AVS2 carb. If I let it sit for more than a few days I have to turn the engine over for a long time before it'll start. I'm assuming the carb is draining when it's sitting? It runs fine otherwise. Typical solution?

Ford's attempt at weight reduction. Mystery holes. ;)

Congrats on the sale!

I agree, that's a survivor. The definition, or the flexibility in which people use the term, survivor, does seem to be getting watered down a bit. For me, I guess it's not the miles, but the least amount of modifications, including paint. Some body work (done right) to cover a fender bender...

I've had several classic American cars. All were fun. However, my 73 with 4 speed is the most fun to drive. It's not the fastest, it doesn't handle the best, it's just fun to row through those gears.

Just adding another data point. I have the same disty and can confirm that the stock air cleaner housing (not ram air) will not fit over the disty.

I'm following a few posts about "survivor" cars. I love older, untouched cars. But what makes a car a "survivor?" How do you define it?

Are the speakers in the rear quarters factory?

I should've updated this, sorry. Turns out it was a driver's side front brake line leaking. The MC and ABS unit were ok. Thanks for all the advice!

I run these: http://www.fordpowertrain.com/FPAindex/Mustang1.htm Clearance is fine. PS, AC, 4 Speed.

Kind of an oddball question, but has anyone pulled an engine with a 2 post lift? My cherry picker won't reach the engine without hitting the front bumper. I could get a new one or remove the bumper, but has anyone ever experimented with putting a couple of 6x6 beams across their two post lift...

Great advice all around.

The E40D requires a computer too, doesn't it?

I wouldn't go to the rebuild yet. :). There are some smart folks about to ask some smart questions.

Great info.
