RE: Japanese decals

[ozmach1]

still couldn't upload pics here so have posted them on gallery under 72 mustang just above where I posted pics of my car the other day. Thanks everyone for the advice on uploading to forum but I just couldn't get it to work after several tries.

Hey Ozmach1, Did you try using the tinypic to post your pics?

I tried that but still no luck.

Hi Ozmach1

I've linked your pics so they show up in this thread - hope that's ok.

Good Job Brett! Ozmach1, that's some interesting history you have there.

I wonder if your car came out with a Japanese version of the owners manual. Or if any of the cars that were shipped to non-English speaking counties had owners manuals in their respective languages.

 

[ozmach1]

I have the owners manual & the how to use features fold out & they're both in English. I wish a previous owner hadn't repainted the engine bay & motor as I bet there would have been a few Jap decals there as well.

That is cool!! My freinds sister goes to japan alot and very fluent in reading and writing japanese...She is a exchaged student...Im sure next time i see her i could have her translate if...If you havent allready ..See what they say is diffrent would be neat.

Btw Oz...I had the same issue with loading the pics!! Come to realise the pics where big and high quality..most a full meg and half.....I changed there bit size in paint shop pro to make sure they was under 600kb per pic...and they loaded just fine after that...lol

Just to add to this thread on Japanese 71-73's, Jalopnik just posted a 2.5 minute video of an Australian bloke who discovered some US muscle rotting away in a vacant lot in Japan - including three 71-73's

Would love to have the sticker translated as I don't know anyone who speaks Japanase.

Hi John,

sorry for not replying sooner but I've had a computer meltdown & have only just got back on line. I'm in Toowoomba. You were'nt at the big swap meet up here last Friday by chance. I had my car on display there. There are 2 other q code mach 1's up here as well, both in tidy condition. I also have a brother up here who owns a genuine 66 Shelby GT 350 Hertz car. Quite a few American imports up here.

What a cool video of the rusting muscle cars, would love to check out those stangs up close to see if they were genuine export cars. It might have taken us a step closer to solving the mystery of the Jap exports.
