See how many can answer these:
1) In early 71' development, the BOSS302 was still planned as a 71' production vehicle. While the BOSS302 was slated for production, so was the car/engine package that eventually became known as the BOSS 351. What was the original name of the BOSS351 going to be before the 71' BOSS302 was cancelled?
2) Ford 's advertising department "fudged" facts a bit when they christened the name "NASA scoops" to the scoops of the new-for-71' Ram-Air hood. What is the actual name of that style of scoop?
3) Customers were offerd a voluntary recall and exchange of the 71' Mach 1 pop-open gas cap to be replaced at no charge with the standard twist-on "horse" gas cap. Why did Ford issue a voluntary recall of the pop-open gas caps?
4) What GM-specific part was factory-installed on some 71 Mustangs?
5) There were several new-for-71 styling features on the 71 Mustangs. What two new exterior features were first debuted on 71 Mustang, and retired by 73, never to be seen again on any Mustang since?
6) What is unique about the trim ring/ hub cap combo available on the BOSS 351 as opposed to the same combo available on every other 71-73 Mustang?
7) Who invented the infamous 8-track tape-player(which was available on 71-73 Mustang), and what other major auto components did his company supply years later to Ford (and other companies).
8) Specifically, why was the famous Mustang Horse redesigned from the 73 design when the 74 Mustang IIs came out, and what was different about it?
9) What Mustang model was planned for 71, but dropped early in pre-production? (not the proposed 71 Shelby/ Mustang or the 71 BOSS 302)
10) What Mustang model was planned for 72', and even had window stickers made up with the model name showing it as available, but was dropped before production began?
Good luck!
