Apparently the old links where we all posted our Marti reports did not make the move from the old forum site to this new one.  Please check to see if yours is showing up.  I had to edit/update my page for the my conv. https://7173mustangs.com/forums/topic/19792-1972-mustang-conv-marti/ I'll...

bump Sure would like to find this car.   Ray

Boss 351 had either satin argent or satin black paint on rear tailight panel depending on exterior color with twist on cap only.  Ray

Matt, Unfortunately I don't have much on casting dates.  But there are quite a few members on here that are very sharp on them.  SVO2SCJ & Secluff both on this thread Best of luck. 

From what I have heard they used drum and daisywheel impact printers - both of which were line printers.  A letter or call to Marti Auto Works might clear this up but I don't have the time right now.  :) BTW I am dealing with OLD MEMORY myself and the storage medium (my brain) has...

I believe yours is correct (or an excellent reproduction).  The offset look is due to the daisywheel type printer as used by Ford back then.  If you get a copy of your invoice from Marti Auto Works, you'll notice the same type of font and funky offset.   Ray

A lot of people confuse competition suspension with always including staggered shocks.  Hemikiller's post is correct. Ray

Each owner has their tipping point concerning driving/storing/showing their respective cars.  I have seen folks heavily restomod their cars and not want to drive them much either.  I think it has to do with maintaining the higher level of detail equired to keep them really nice.  If you have an...

A few of my related archived pics. I have more but would need to look harder to locate.  :)  That #25 car is the Tope car when owned and raced by Bill Maier, owner of a very well-known 'repopper' Shelby fiberglass body parts business.  When I visited with him back in the late 70's/early 80's, ...

Message one of our very valued members; Bkdunha (Brian).  He performed an impressive concourse restoration on his 1972 Mach 1 to concourse level and should have information on that original exhaust setup.  https://7173mustangs.com/forums/profile/292-bkdunha/  Good luck. Ray

All good my friend.   :biggrin: Ray

Fabrice, Very impressive - all your work.  Thanks for keeping the thread updated as much as you can.   Ray

I will say that pointing out differences over original vs modded is not a strike against any great looking car.  To each their own. But it is important to keep the knowledge of how these cars were original equipped alive and encouraged.  Many original equipment/packages  on these cars are not...

Welcome from Oklahoma. Ray

???  F code for any 71-3 is a 302-2V (2 venturi, aka barrel - NOT VALVE) For 71 only C and J were 429's. On first look radiator shroud VERY incorrect for any 71-3 Mustang. Ray

Luckily my convertible came with the 72 Decor Group and then optioned with the side stripes.  It also came with Magnums.  I really enjoy the rarity of the car and I am working to bring it back to as original as possible.  Ray

Welcome from Oklahoma! Ray

Yes.  I just verified from him. He prefers an original Ford one.  Ray
