Yeah, I think the data about what 'did' and what 'did not' come on these cars is a little less exact than is believed.
My '71 H-code (351C-2V) came with rear valance cut-outs and power disc brakes. That directly contradicts the popular thinking that's been commented on already.
It also had Ram-Air, speedometer w/clock cluster, no A/C, rear window defroster, power steering, tilt column w/2-spoke rim-blow wheel, center gauges w/map light, non-staggered shocks, no rear sway bar, deluxe interior w/black & gray Mach 1 seats, and no console at all. Also came with an FMX and 3.00 rear gears.
I'm thinking these things that 'did not' come with particular models were probably options that could be ordered despite original equipment packages. That certainly makes more sense than trying to explain why my car has certain things when according to popular opinion, they could not be had on a lowly H-code.
I still need to order a Marti as well, but I'm convinced these things came from the factory based on how the hillbillies that owned it before abused and applied so much 'Redneck Engineering.' After all, why go to the trouble of adding a factory cut-out valance when installing the glass packs and dual exhaust after all the other oddities they came up with?
Back on Topic: the car suffers from having a non-informed painter... and a used car salesman as a seller. It looks great, otherwise!
My 71 mach1 came from factory with 302 2v. It does have the naca hood.
Thank you for calling it a NACA hood! Yes, the agency is called NASA these days. But it was NACA when the technology was developed. Racers and other users of the technology still call 'em NACA ducts.
It's just as bad [to me] as hearing someone say, "Richard Petty is a 7-time Sprint Cup champion." Ummm - no, he isn't. He is a 7-time Winston Cup champion. Unless Sprint sent someone to his home and swapped out all his trophies for new ones that have the new sponsor on them, they are what they are when they're won.
