Some of you may have seen my old thread about restoring my 71 Convertible here. I made a lot of progress, and I have enjoyed driving her off and on for a while now. Unfortunately, life has taken another twist, and some big decisions have been made. I will be relocating for work reasons, and I...

Nice car, 1997 911 Turbo (~$100k when he bought it new), but I'll take my drop top all day. :D

I want to replace the stock exhaust on my 1971 Convertible (302/C4) with full length headers and dual exhaust. Right now I'm looking on summit and I'm considering the Hooker Competition or Hedman headers. When I look for the rest of the exhaust, all I get is the Summit package. There is only...

Can anyone tell me if this setup will work on my 1971 302? http://spacecoast.craigslist.org/pts/4375259538.html I'm interested in a cheap temporary option to get me up and running.

I have manual drum brakes and I'm trying to replace the master cylinder. The MC didn't come with a push rod, but the old one is not coming out. I thought it just sat in there. How am I supposed to get this thing out???? :huh: Never mind...I got it out, but I absolutely destroyed the...

1971 302-2V originally a no AC car. The previous owners had a Montgomery wards AC installed, but it's missing pieces so I'm taking out the rest. There is a bracket attached from the water pump to the alternator, is this necessary or just an added piece for an AC pulley or something. See the...

Time to kick off my 1971 Convertible restoration thread. After sitting in a garage for 15 years, it is comfortable in it's new stable, but I have a lot of work to do. I got the engine running, but there is a loud ticking coming from the passenger side. I've decided to leave the drive train...

The convertible top switch is flaky on my 71. I have two questions. 1) I used some thin needle nose to turn the nut, but there has to be a better tool to turn it without marring it up. What tool should I be looking for? 2) What is the easiest way to access it? Now that I have it free, do I...

I bought a 1971 Convertible F code, medium metallic green. If you've seen my other threads, the car has been sitting in a garage for over 15 years! I changed the oil and filter, fuel filter, new ethanol free gas, and a new fuel pump and she is running! (Not real well, but running none the...

Hey guys, I posted a while back about a 1971 Convertible. The owner and I have reached an agreement on price and they have decided to sell the car to me. I wanted to go check the cowl for rust before I purchased it because I was warned by some of the posters on here to check for it...

Hello everyone! I'm new to this forum, but not new to the corral. Fell in love with Mustangs at a young age because the guy down the street had a 71 Sportsroof. I was eventually able to buy that car when I was in high school, but it was too rusted out and too much work for me at that age. My...

I'm going to look at a 1971 302 Convertible this afternoon. This car has been sitting in a garage for ~15 years, not moved or started. It has only had two owners and I believe it was wrecked at some point, but completely repaired. I'm pretty close to the family and I didn't even know this was...
