Chuck it is for our friend Andy.  He said it was a 5 bolt 289 flywheel.  Motor is a 2bbl but he will prob run a 4 bbl carb on it. I think it's one with the 157 tooth ring gear. Ray

This topic has been discussed and researched extensively a few years ago on this very site.  Search for "DAF"  If I remember correctly cudak888 was the member who really dug deep.   He has some detailed writings listed on the "In Search of Mustangs" website too. Ray

I have a friend here in OKC that is looking for 5-bolt 289 flywheel.  It needs to be usable with no cracks.  If anyone has one, let me know and  I'll put you in contact with him. Thanks, Ray

Proof for the Mach 1 and its NASA Type hood as no-cost option is right out of Ford's 1973 Facts Book.  This book and simialr books for 1971 and 1972 are saved somewhere on this site.   And here is a link to the book I mentioned! Ray

Just how 'original' do you want to be for your car?  Unless you see the RAM AIR option on your window sticker and/or Marti report,  even the non functional RAM AIR hood with block-off plates would not be original to your car.  It would have come with a standard flat hood.  Just FYI. Ray

Missed ya Mike!  Every since you told me about your interest in Route 66 - every time  I see or hear something about "The Mother Road" I think about how you're doing!  Well the old road (or what's left of her) goes right through central Oklahoma.  Sure wish you could come over for a visit after ...

I'm a little biased but I think it needs 2B red!!!  LOL Ray

The NACA or NASA hood aka the RAM AIR hood was a no-cost option for F code (302-2v) Mach 1's only.  BTW very rare to see this standard hood on a Mach 1 combination these days.  Most 73 MAch 1's came with the non RAM AIR  NACA/NASA  hood.   For 1973 the functional RAM AIR option was only...

Nice to hear you're back among us!  Building sounds nice. Welcome. Ray

Hemi, Thanks for your reply.  Maybe this needs to be its own thread!  "trim rings and caps vs caps without trim rings" under concourse?  Eric or other moderator - help?  THX  I do see how it could be as you mention but if both of your cars wheels had "scaring of the paint typical of...

For the standard wheel offering, I believe the trim ring and cap was an option for all but a few 71-3 Mustangs.  All documentation I have shows the plain hubcap aka "bright stainless steel hub caps" or "chrome hub caps" or "bright chrome-plated wheel covers" the standard wheel feature for all...

They are aluminum.  Should not be painted!! Ray

I sure hope the site restores soon.  There is a ton of great info that is currently not available! Ray

My 72 is Red (2B).  Ray

As usual, Secluff is 100% correct.  ::thumb:: As a Boss 351 owner  (for a very long time), I have seen many cars with incorrect striping, decals and emblems.  As for the hood decals, the "351" was not added.  It is the other way around.  They come from Ford as "351 RAM AIR" or "429 RAM AIR". ...

I am hoping we see the car again. I'd like to make their acquaintance and tell them about this site. The car stays just a few blocks away from a very good friend. We aren't exactly where but he (friend) continues to see the car go by his house. Ray

And the driver's door sticker??? Can't see pics from here.  So sorry if I missed it. Ray

I do not like the VIN issues. Riveted plate? Not for me. Ray

A good friend has been seeing a nice 72 Sprint Sportsroof in Edmond, Oklahoma. Anyone on here? Thx. Boss1Ray
