Ok guys I am 24 hours into the tear down of this beautiful car. One of the members located it on cl a couple years ago and I went and got it. It had the exact same interior that I needed for my 72 Q code vert and it was a one owner car so not hacked up. He had also just put new 2 1/2" stainless exhaust and ceramic coated headers that will go on the Q. The spare tire on this car had never been on the ground. Was bought by a Ford employee, dated in it, married his wife in it, had two boys and it was driven in his funeral. One of his sons was driving when hit in rear and pushed into another vehicle. The front is not damaged that bad but rear crunched. This car probably has the least rust of any car ever scraped. BTW I have a clear non salvage title with the car since it was never sold at an insurance sale and all the documentation from date he sat down and wrote out what he wanted on the car until the crash.
There are lots of parts that I will not need so send your requests. The front pieces were scrap and so is rear. It had a NOS set of Decor Group side trim that I will keep for my 73.
Like Marti's book says they only made 82 1972 H code verts with a 3 speed so very rare in that respect. If someone wants to purchase the rolling chassis that would have PDB and 9" rear and take your rusty hulk and make a really nice car this would be for you. The cowl looks to be rust free and the floor have very little, none under rear seat and seat riser is perfect. This car had Ziebart and was summer car. They did tow a boat a lot and had air shocks in the rear and there is absolutely no damage to the shock mounts on the body from the air shocks. Doors are probably available will have to check to see what all I need on my Q vert before I let go. So in about 36 hours a 69 year old guy will have torn the entire car down to a pile of parts by himself mostly with hand tools no compressor in shop yet. Can't move by myself too big.
I also posted on one of the Facebook pages for Mustang parts and everyone is upset because I would not sell the whole car to be fixed. I needed a bunch of parts to fix the Q code and have too many other projects to do this also. Could drop over tomorrow pulling the engine, lol. Good way to go greasy, smelling like WD-40, with a wrench in my hand.
I could not get pics to load so made a short video. https://animoto.com/play/oOVM1VhjrMPL8aPe9lUj3g
