Hello from the Bay Area

[moparbrian]

Hello everyone.
Excited to find this forum. So many questions to ask.
My dad special ordered a mustang in 1971. I received it through inheritance recently. It is a convertible with a 351 and 3.25L gears. I am still going through the documents and stuff. My mom said she almost divorced my dad because it cost so much with all the options The build date is 10/71.
Here is a picture.

Welcome from North Idaho!

What are your plans with the car?

 

[moparbrian]

I plan to just drive it and enjoy it. IT is all original paint and interior. Mustang only has 50K original miles. My dad worked at san jose ford for many years.
I need to get a new heater for and get the air con recharged though. It has a square black plate with letters and numbers on the radiator support. What is that for?

Dad also left me a 1966 427 comet caliente. IT needs a lot of work but is all there.

Welcome and howdy from Texas! It looks like your dad left you a car to treasure. The plate sounds like a buck tag. It would have information on what equipment should be on the car. Add a picture of the Comet, also. That's a rare car.

How do I find information on the "buck tag" for the mustang?

If you post up a picture of the tag some of the members here will chime in with the meanings of the alphanumerics.
