There is definitely an issue with how Marti interprets the Ford data to produce his reports. If his reports were in fact a copy of the factory invoice then altered to produce his reports, there would be no one talking about it today. My car is a perfect example as the factory invoice does not...

I have found variances with Marti reports, for some odd reason, it mainly deals with the addition of the bumperettes (front and rear) that is listed on the Marti but no evidence of ever being installed on the car at the factory and the factory invoice (L. Eminger) does not show it as being an...

Ouch... I just paid $2000 cdn for this set up, all new. Had it shipped to Buffalo and i drove over to pick up. Still, mega cash...

Thanks to all for their condolences. Appreciate it.

With every hobby comes that better half for many of us that either supports or despises the past time. My wife, Joanne, begrudgingly supported my past time the past 31 years. She knew it was something I enjoyed, kept me out of the bar's and out of trouble in general... My wife was a gentle soul...

MM called mine found in a "machine shed", I guess that's why I overpaid for it in this condition back in 2015, lol

I could... but it is located in Toronto Canada. The carb was original and had never been rebuilt before. It was due. Basic rebuild shop but the carb came back fixed and has worked well since reinstalled. From memory, my biggest issue at the time was flooding (float level) and the plug at the...

A 4300 when rebuilt properly and tuned well are fine. I had my original rebuilt last year and was able to keep the car stock, including all original EGR equipment. They are better then some give credit for, but are temperamental at times...

The preverbal wrench thrown in... My original ram air car came with round springs when I bought it... has held the hood up all these years and I reinstalled them when I restored the car. So far no issues... I do have a back up set of flat hood springs should the need arise, but the patina on the...

I paid through the nose literally, for my paint and body work back in 2017. I could have purchased an additional completed Mustang for what I payed, lol

I would not have done it on my car if it was not originally there...

I would do a little black paint around the gas cap area too, similar to the taillight areas too...

Hard to locate today... Fortunately, mine was still in the car when I got it, needed a complete rebuild, cost me $900 just to keep those #'s showing, lol. Good luck in your search.

I have the same seat belts in my 71. I had Ssnake Oyl re-do the seatbelts in 2016 at a total cost of $750US ($950cdn...). This included new webbing, new factory type spec. labels and re-chrome the hardware. It was worth it for my level or required restoration. Mine were in just as bad shape. if...

Pretty sure its the horizontal rub strip on the rear chrome bumper, it formed part of the deluxe bumper group (which included the rear bumper guards again, but with vertical rub strips). Would have to see the build sheet to see how this car actually came from the factory in this regard.

Nearly unobtanium today... 71 being a one year only run on these. I needed them a few years back as mine were rough with speaker holes cut out. I tried for two years to find, no luck. I restored my originals and they turned out nice, but with speaker hole cut outs. I kept my eye open and one day...

Quick update))

Lol. Then I shouldn’t tell you that my garage queen has never been licensed for the road since I finished this concourse restoration (Picture was taken Nov 16, 2015)… No understanding required. Too each their own…

My 73 Coupe has factory air, no tint. It was an option… What's interesting to me is that the car was originally sold and spent its entire life in Oakland California, before i bought it. I would think the original owner might have wanted to spend the extra $$$ for the tint back in the day... My...

I’m happy to hear of your positive diagnosis. As you know there are various forms and levels of Brain Cancer. Sadly, my wife was diagnosed with the worst form of Brain Cancer (Glioblastoma Stage4) that also has no cure. They give an avg 12-18 month life span after diagnosis. My wife is in her...
