    72 Sprint

    Saw this pop up in my local FB marketplace today. Looks like a pretty nice example. Can go take a look for anyone who is interested since I'm close. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/271091192364879/?mibextid=dXMIcH

    Rear Seats (COUPE)

    No longer need these. I think they were last reupholstered around 2008, so they have some normal wear and tear on the vinyl, but are in overall pretty good condition. The frames themselves are in great shape and barely have any rust. $120 OBO, only doing local pickup in or around Chattanooga TN.

    Misc Coupe Items

    Cleaning out the garage of some stuff I no longer have use for. Free to a good home, just pay shipping via PayPal. Of course I wouldn't complain if someone wanted to donate to my beer money fund. 1: Clips for holding package tray in place. These go behind the rear seats. 2: Leaf spring shock...

    Has anyone attempted a rear seat delete?

    Considering this for my car as I don't ever use the rear seat for passengers - there's essentially no legroom in the coupes. And I think I should be able to shave at least 50lbs in weight by doing so. I've seen some kits out there for earlier year cars, but none for the 71-73s. Looking at using...

    Tail of the Dragon

    Couple shots from this past weekend. Got a chance to really push the new suspension components and they performed exceptionally well.

    Suspension Overhaul

    Figured I'd document my ongoing suspension/steering system overhaul here in case anyone is looking at doing something similar. So far I've done: - 12.7:1 quick ratio steering box from Redhead - new pitman arm, idler arm, rag joint, inner tie rods - Baer adjustable outer tie rods for bump...

    Where do y'all think prices are headed?

    So recently there's talk all over the news about how used car prices are skyrocketing, and while I don't think that may be directly affecting the classics market specifically, I think it is definitely having some kind of impact. We all know how common it is to see listings of people wanting to...

    Mystery Ford Dealership Form

    Was looking through some of the paperwork that came with my car and I've always wondered what this form is. I assume it's some kind of dealer invoice? But there's not much info on it. There's 2 dates on it: 11/20/70 and 10/30/71. According to the Marti report I have, the build date for my car...

    Tie rod ends, strut rods & shock tower caps

    Gone! ______________________ Upgraded to a coilover suspension setup, so I no longer need these parts. Tie rod ends/sleeves were bought from Ohio Mustang Supply and only have about 3,000 miles on them. Strut rods are OE and have relatively new (Scott Drake?) rubber bushings. Shock tower caps...

    8 Inch or 9 Inch?

    So I'm working my way back on the car's suspension. I just finished installing StreetorTrack's front coilover conversion system with their 1 1/8" sway bar, now I'm looking at doing the 3 link conversion they offer. Right now I have a pretty much stock 8 inch open rear end, and while SoT's 3 link...

    Mecum Auction 71 429 Vert

    Don't know if anyone's posted this yet but thought this was a pretty special car. Can't say I've seen too many 429 4 speed verts. Any guesses on what it will bring? https://www.mecum.com/lots/FL0121-444973/1971-ford-mustang-convertible/

    Heater controls (non-AC)

    PO had installed an aftermarket AC system and butchered the temperature control lever, so I had to buy another unit. But otherwise the faceplate, knobs, and fan control lever can be salvaged. Just pay shipping.

    Crazy Odds

    So I bought a 1971 F100 last week. Seemed pretty well optioned (Ranger XLT trim) and a good candidate for restoration, plus it's the same year as my mustang. Well it didn't come with any documentation and the door tag has long since been gone, so I ran a Marti report to find out some of the...

    Steering Upgrades

    After much research on these forums, I settled on getting a redhead 12.7:1 steering box instead of going the rebuild route, and WOW what a difference. The steering feel is night and day difference compared to the old SPA-U box. Figured it was time since the old box had developed a pretty bad...

    Anyone running TCP sway bars?

    In the never ending quest to make my car feel less "boaty" I'm looking at doing front/rear sway bar upgrades. Mine didn't come with the competition suspension, so if I go with a stock style sway bar I think I'll need to track down the correct mounting plates, but I saw this on TCP's website and...

    Might be a good deal?

    Looked like there might be some good interior parts, but the full length center console in the last picture has got me interested. Thoughts?

    Installing a heater box (Non-AC)

    So unfortunately when I got my car, the original heater box was not there, and in its place was a (cheap) aftermarket AC system. I'm wanting to take it back to original and put in the correct non-AC heater box and had a few questions regarding it, since I don't really have any examples to go off...

    Getting around to the 71

    Finally pulled the trigger on starting the work on the mustang this spring. Had a few burnt exhaust valves and the cylinder walls were starting to groove, so I determined that the best place to start was the engine. Had the block bored 0.030 over and the original crank polished/balanced with...

    Passenger Side Door Parts

    Pulled a door from a parts car and only needed the shell, so everything else is up for sale. Rather not risk shipping the glass, so that's local pickup only. Everything else I can ship from 37321 with buyer covering shipping costs. Medium ginger armrest - $20 Misc. hardware/latches/felt...

    Driver's side wiper arm

    No luck finding this anywhere. If anyone has a spare lying around i'd be happy to buy it.
