    Sport grip steering wheel cover

    Hi, I'm wanting to buy a sport grip steering wheel cover to fit a 3 spoke deluxe steering wheel as a gift. Does anyone know what size I need? I don't have access to the wheel otherwise I'd check myself. Thanks all.

    How original is this engine bay?

    I kept going back and forth on whether to pursue it, but I ultimately didn't. I'm after something that's original specification - I don't mind if it's been restored or has repro parts, but I want original options and matching number ideally. This car was far from original spec, and while it...

    How original is this engine bay?

    Would there be a bit of effort/money involved in getting all these little things sorted out? Here's a link to the car: https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1971-ford-mustang-mach-1-cobra-jet-manual/OAG-AD-20835404/?Cr=7 I'm still undecided if I want to pursue it.

    How original is this engine bay?

    Something else I've noticed when looking at other engine bays is it appears to be missing everything for the washer setup. The hoses, nozzles - looks like the only thing still there is the washer bottle. Is it easy enough to replace this? I can see hose kits on Ebay, but it looks like it would...

    Thoughts on this 429CJ Mach 1?

    https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1971-ford-mustang-mach-1-cobra-jet-manual/OAG-AD-20835404/?Cr=7 Looks like it was discussed a few years ago when it was for sale on Hemmings: https://7173mustangs.com/threads/thoughts-on-this-429-im-considering-it.36348/post-372311 Does anyone remember...

    3.5 diff gears and a/c

    Looking at a 71 Mach 1 with a 429CJ and 3.5 traction lok. It's had a/c added later on its life. According to the 429 megasite, you could only get a/c on a 429CJ car with 3.25 gears. So two questions, what was the technical reason for this? and will I experience any drivability issues?

    How original is this engine bay?

    Given the VIN on the engine/trans is so close to the VIN on the car, I want to believe it's original. I just can't imagine finding an engine/trans combo with a VIN so close, and why would you even bother in the first place. I didn't know how plausible it was that it could be mis-stamped.

    How original is this engine bay?

    Thanks for the replies all. To clarify, it's a J code car. So overall it sounds like there's no major issues here. I didn't realize the smog gear was reserved for the SCJ only. Does anyone have any ideas what the air cleaner is from? I've been searching and can't find any matches. Sounds like...

    How original is this engine bay?

    Hi all, new to the forum and hoping I can get some feedback from the experts! Currently looking at a 71 Mach 1 429 CJ ram air. The car was restored 10 years ago and I wanted to check how original the state of the engine bay is. From my own research, it looks like the air cleaner isn't original...
