Hey, You are correct on being S.O.L. Without the build sheet.I personally wouldn't worry about it too much,as I said I've bought cars in the past without the original tag.I think it really comes into play if you were building a concours show car. Like I said If you decide to order a new...

The buck tags when used,only used a small screw so there wouldn't be much of a hole.There were also stories of a good amount of vehicles that missed a buck tag here or there. So have you ever removed the instrument cluster from your car? Like I said a build sheet tells you everything about your...

Hey No problem,I'm always glad to help. As far as the data,That is correct.Like I was saying you are pretty muuch S.O.L. On pre 67 Mustangs as Ford scrapped the data decades ago. Marti will fill out the tag based on the info that you provide. For starters, the Buck tag would be screwed into the...

Hello Nick, I believe I posted this option to you when you first introduced yourself on this site. I have a friend who is a long time Ford guy,he worked for Ford for many years. He has a Brand new NOS(new old stock),250 Six cylinder sitting on a pallet that he would like to sell.I believe his...

Hi, Based on your findings It's obvious that the drivers door was changed at some point.That said this was/is very common,I've dealt with it a bunch of times on some of my own cars. Replacement door data tags are available & affordable.The only things you have to figure out or guess on when...

Hey, The pedal in question is for the windsheild washer.

Hey, Is this a car you are considering purchasing? If so feel free to pick my brain on it, show me photos of the undercarriage,etc. Convertibles were very prone to rot, So it is very important that you do or someone else do a through undercarriage inspection assuming you would be paying...

Hey Guido, Unfortunately ,I am terrible with photos and posting them,etc. So I don't have comparison photos. That said in a quick glance that picture appears to be of a legit convertible. The way I tell Is I look at the outboard side of the front seats,You can see how the rug goes...

Hey, I've typically been a Windsor guy,But I've had alot of Freinds with Clevelands. I always liked the 2v Heads on street cars ,Great low end. With A 4v intake even better it sounds like a nice combo. So you were thinking of going to a coil setup for ride height or handling? You...

For what it's worth you can order new repo door tags.With the correct rivets they are exact. As far as the convertible/coupe, did/do you still own it? Convertibles are easy to authenticate,all I need is one photo of the undercarriage or even the interior. Convertibles have a lot of additional...

I hear you on the handling and braking of these old cars,I've been driving them forever. That said there are a ton of things that can be done these days to them without having to cut out the shocktowers to improve the braking and handling. I believe the first guys that did the Mustang II...

Hello and welcome to the site. The Vin question is a tough one. I would say it has to be taken on a case by case basis. It is true that Ford did have a few Misstamps but in all honesty they were ridicolously rare. First hand I have seen cars that had the numbers changed due to...

Hey Cold cougar, Welcome. Cougars are nice cars after all they are Cousins to the Mustang. I've had some experience with them,In fact a friend of Mine is just finishing up the resto on His 69 "R" Code Cougar. I don't know anyone who has switched to a coil rear on one? Perhaps someone will chime...

Hey Rich, The rear that I have is just a housing and axles (28 spline).It is out of a 69 or 70 Mach Mustang,I forgot which? 67-70 Mustangs all used the same width rear ends,So it is a bolt in fro your car. The rear that I have would need brake assemblies (the ones that are on your...

I've never done it personally,But I've known of some guys that did it in the past(racecars,prostreet,customs,etc.). If you're handy with a welder and good at fabricating it's not too hard,Remove front suspension, Cut out shock towers ,Weld in Mustang II pieces.There are alot of companies that...

Hey, If you need any input/advice during your build let me know? Nice looking car. P.S. If you decide to swap out the 8 inch rear for a 9 inch let me know? I have a 9 " housing and axles (2 pairs) That I'd love to sell.I'm really tired of tripping over them.

Hey Rich, Nice looking car. I'll decode the info that you posted.In order to get the real specifics,You can and should call or log onto Marti auto works and get what they call a Marti report,There are different levels of reports,The basic one should tell you everything you are...

Hello and welcome, It's always nice to see another early car join the site. Vintage Burgundy,That's a nice color. A little bit of lead additive in the gas couldn't hurt,If you use additive you shouldn't have to worry about the heads,ever.Don't tell anybody this but I have a 66...

Hi, What was the reason for replacing the original one that was in your car? Did it break,bind up,etc.? When you removed your original did you see any issues with it? That said when you called Cj's about the first repo cable you put in,what did they say? They gave you a replacement,Did they...
