71 2? 3? on Fox & Friends this morning

[TheRktmn]

They did a segment on stunt driving this morning on Fox & Friends. I'm not sure what year the Mustang was - 71, 72 or 73... The video is about 3.5 minutes long.

It isn't a 73. I'd say it is a 72

At the end of the segment they said it was a 71.

Spotted the clue, its a 1971....

front bumper makes it a 71,72, not a 73

Double window retainer clip on front drivers window bright trim makes it a early-mid 1971.

they switched to single retainer clips later to cut production costs.

52 seconds into the video look at the window A pillar.

These 4 clips are for the door glass and quarter windows on Coupes and Fastbacks. Two are part number D1ZZ-6522204-A and two are part number D1ZZ-6522244-A. Photo at right shows clip locations on typical front Mustang window.

also the car had a quick fill gas cap but that would only mean something if it was known original equipment since you can always bolt that stuff on, but early 71s had it as an option.

Thanx for posting. Here in town and I don't know whos care that is. Maybe Grasshopper but I am not sure. The hunt begins for another member!!!!

 

[73MustangCoupe]

Yup, it's Grasshopper's ride. He has some pics in his Resto-Mod thread post 129. Very cool!

 

[73vertproject]

Great post!

Once again, 72HCode demonstrates why he is a Tech Guru.

 

[luxstang]

Yup, that car belongs to one of our members. He posted pics from the shoot in a thread.

Edit: I checked and it IS Grasshopper.

Congrats to Grasshopper. Nice story. But like I said before - I did about hurled a burrito when she jumped up on the hood!!!! LOL

Dang 72HCode - You are good. I still have much to learn! - Even after almost 40 years of dealing with them!!! (slow learner LOL)

:udaman:

72HCode - Folks like you are truely invaluable when it comes to the correct understanding of these cars and how to accurately re-create them.

BIG THANKS!

Need to change your screen name to Eagle Eye, I wouldn't have even known to catch that detail.

Does that apply to NJ cars as well? My 11/70 Metuchen build has single clips.

71 cars had single clips as well, i don't remember the cut off, but 2 clips per side is early 71 production to middle 71 production.

had the car had single clips from the video it would of be impossible to tell the year either 71 or 72, you would need to see the dashboard to get more information, like if the car had seatbeat warning lights then it would possibly be a 1972 car over a 71.
