    '73 dealer-installed CB radios and antennas?

    Does anyone have information on what make(s) and model(s) of CB radios and antennas were offered as "official" Ford-endorsed dealer-installed accessories for the 1973 model year?  I have that info from 1962 through 1968 (Raytheon Ray-Tel) and somewhat sketchy info for the late 1970s (Ford...

    How to reduce PS pump boost?

    Anyone have a workable idea on how to reduce the boost from a stock power steering pump, without affecting the visual appearance?  I hate that "pinky finger" power steering feel.  Cheers, Dean

    WTB door speaker wiring harnesses

    Looking for a decent set of door speaker wiring harnesses.  Need both sides.  Don't have to be concours quality, but do have to be in good shape and not hacked up, with all connectors intact on both ends.   Thanks, Dean

    71-73 Parts

    Thanks for the tip. I was able to make a deal with the seller to buy the power window switches and wiring out of that green door! It never hurts to have some spares, especially when you're dealing with rare stuff! FORDially, Dean

    What did you do to your car today?

    Yesterday, I repaired a stress crack in the base of my right-hand sport mirror. I guess "repaired" is the wrong term. I whipped up some JB Weld and slathered it on the inside of the pot metal casting to help stop it from cracking any further. I don't want to replace it because that would...

    Farthest you've travelled in your Mustang?

    Back about 1990 or so, we drove the '72 convertible from the Dallas area to the Wilmington, Delaware, area to visit family. All told, it was about a 4,000 mile round trip. At that time, the car was still an unrestored original. After restoration, which was completed in the spring of 1991, the...

    WTB: '72 AM/FM stereo radio and door spkrs

    I'm looking for a '72 factory AM/FM stereo radio and a pair of original door speakers. My car has an aftermarket radio and generic replacement speakers installed at the moment. I could use the speaker wiring harnesses, too, as mine have been hacked up by a previous owner. Thanks! Dean

    Things you have found in car during resto

    An old friend of mine used to deal in used Mustang parts, specialising mainly in '65-'66. This was back in the 1990s. I ran across a scruffy (but complete) 6-cylinder '65 Mustang hardtop moldering away in back of one of those "We Tote The Note" used car lots. The manager said he'd take $250...

    Over the Hood (Bonnet) Pictures

    Miss Cindy shot this "over the hood" picture of downtown Dallas from the right seat of our '72 convertible on our way home from the North Texas Mustang Club's display of members' cars at the State Fair of Texas back in late September, 2001. We're on the IH-30 overhead coming into downtown from...

    New South African member living in Sweden

    Welcome! Where are you located in Sweden? I've been there twice. I enjoyed both visits very much. Are there many Mustangs in Sweden? I know they're popular everywhere around the world. Back in 2003, I accompanied my wife on a business trip to Gothenburg. When I was parking our Ford Mondeo...

    Is this for real?

    Kit is correct about what's incorrect on the purple convertible. Overall, though, I think it's a nice looking car. I'd prefer the color to be just a bit darker, more like Plymouth's infamous "Plum Crazy", and in that case, I'd have done the striping and two-tone hood in argent rather than...
