I am in the process of restoring my 1971 Mustang Convertible. I bought it in 1980 from the original owner, an old-maid school teacher. Let's just say that she was a lot harder on the car than an old-maid school teacher might be expected to be. The car started out life as a base, 6 cyl, 3 speed(!) convertible, diamond blue, black top, white interior with no other options. The original engine is long gone, so I am restoring the car to something that I want rather than original condition. It won't necessarily be a car that Ford would have built, but it will have all Ford OEM or NOS parts with proper date codes as much as possible. Here is a picture of where it is today.
The car will have a near Boss spec 302, ram air, 4-speed toploader, air conditioning, power windows, and front disc brakes. The car is a spectacular grabber blue paint with embedded argent stripes provided by Bremseth Body Shop in Wykoff, MN. Chrome is provided by AIH in Dubuque, Iowa. I am sticking with the black top, but upgrading to a deluxe interior with full console and guages. In the meantime, the garage is starting to clutter up with parts that I won't be using, so to free up some space and some cash, I am offering them here before running them through eBay. I will be posting some photos on Snapfish and will post a link as soon as they are in place. Parts are located in southeast Minnesota, and I can be reached most reliably and quickly at mike.griese at att.net.
All parts are from 1971 unless noted
