Hi All,
My first post....(hope I've done this right)
I recently collected my 71 Convertible M Code from the docks in Australia, having imported it from North California. Having owned some interesting cars over the years, this is my first Mustang. My daily drive is an SSV Redline Commodore with a stock 304kw LS3 Engine, but the new purchase is for cruising with the family.
From what I can see, and the supporting Marti Report, this convertible is a reasonably rare beast, with the full M Code running gear; 351 4V, C6 and 9 inch, along with full factory Ram Air set-up. Its got a great steering wheel design too.
First step is a complete brake overhaul and suspension rebuild (they are pretty strict over here before I can get it registered for the road). Even though the body is in pretty good nick, next it is off to the paint shop for some minor rust repairs and a new coat of Grabber Green Metallic (love this colour), then a new white soft-top.
Can't wait to hit the road. I'm stoked to have found this website and have been surfing it as often as I can, as you guys are all so knowledgeable about all things 71 to 73. I will need to pick your brains over coming months....one question (maybe for another forum) when respraying, should I go stripes and bonnet (with 351 ram air decal) or not?
