Call me crazy, but I actually kind of like it. But does it really not have headlights? It kind of looks like a prototype Ford might have done, or the counterpart to the car from "Corvette Summer" that's currently up for sale...

The VIN is actually present on the ad when you go to the GAA site but not everyone would think to do a Google search. When you do search the VIN, the BarnFinds post comes up, so that's good. If you scroll down to the very end of the BarnFinds post there is a link for where it ended up on...

Wow. This ad is even more dishonest that the one that was on Ebay! And they are marketing the motor as being a true CJ 429. I wonder if the same seller is still trying to sell the car, or if he unloaded it onto an unsuspecting buyer who is now trying to get rid of the car (the gift that keeps...

I am a little late to this thread, but welcome from Birmingham AL! I have some limited knowledge of the special paint cars and have owned three. The first was a 71 M code vert which I think was painted Meadow Lark Yellow (which was a 68 to 70 color). The car was loaded and even had Ram Air and...

Do you think the new seller is legitimate?

Wow. What an incredible story. That was a good deal even back then. You were lucky to just happen on such a highly optioned car. It seems where I lived that our 71-73 cars weren't that plentiful, and you just had to take what you could get. That very year, in 1980, my Dad and I went to look at a...

Thanks for posting that 72vert. I added a comment about my experience. Somehow I missed that profile of the Black Mach I on Barn Finds.

Wow Hemi, that was fast! You are the man, lol. And notice how they used the exact same photos from the BAT add.

Yes, it's so easy to get pulled into something like this. I keep thinking, maybe the seller is some old lady whose husband passed, or maybe it's a woman who got the car in a divorce settlement. Maybe it's a chance to get a $50K car at a bargain. I can't find my old post when I was scammed but...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/325997860318 The seller won't respond to any of my messages and there are no photos of the VIN anywhere in the add. What do you guys think?

That makes since, Chuck. Here's a picture I took of the flywheel. I expected it to be pretty messed up with the issues of the starter failing to disengage, but it looks okay to me.

Like I said before, Chuck, it had never happened to me either. But then again, you have to wonder why they made a Ford shim built for our starters if they weren't sometimes needed. ;)

Wow. That's a good point Hemi! I bet Chuck's car is the last 4V car to have Ram Air. So does anyone know how many H code cars had factory Ram Air for 1971, 1972, and 1973? Did any 302 cars have factory Ram Air? Kevin.

Thanks. Yes, the starter is definitely for an automatic and the old starter was doing the same thing (that's why I replaced it). The car came with an FMX but TPO swapped it to a C-6, but I wouldn't think that would make a difference.

Welcome from Birmingham, AL! Your 72 Vert is incredibly rare. I'd love to know the back story on that car. Kevin.

Wow Chuck. Somehow I missed that you're car is a 72 Q code ram air vert as well. I'm having 72 Ram Air envy, lol. Does anyone have the stats for how many ram air cars were made in 71, 72, and 73? I think it would be in my "Mustang by the Numbers" book, but I can't find it.

Wow, t.kohlmeyer. That is one rare car! Could you please post a picture of the build sheet and the Eminger report or Marti report? Kevin.

So I have to follow up on this post. I have this 72 Mustang that the starter would keep engaging after it started. I replaced the ignition switch, the starter, and the solenoid with no luck. Then I tried this and now the car starts perfectly...

Excellent point cj. I'm in the middle of restoring five 71-73s and everything is sky high now and probably will be forever. Paint and materials cost are through the roof, labor costs are ridiculous, and shipping costs are unreal. Remember the days when you could buy anything off Amazon or Ebay...
