8r01s Here it is after drivetrain and cosmetics. I purposely went with a "daily driver" paint job - it would be a loss of value in a bazillion dollar paint job when you will be parking it in the work or grocery store parking lot. (Will clean these pics up too). I do recall the person I sold...

8r01s Congratulations prototypefan! It sounds like it's going to a good home. I really liked this car.. Nobody else had one on the road. I drove it regularly as my primary transportation. I drive and enjoy my classics. My advice is to do the same - musclecars were made to drive - good...

390 gt/cs Yes sir, I will send all I have on the car and what I remember about it and the previous owner chain of the car, all unredacted. It will be up to you to post or not post the information publicly. Please use discretion. I have carried data on many cars over the years and the...

1. Wire it all back to factory. Ensure it is wired correctly. [Check all harnesses in general to make sure nobody in the past has thought they were better automotive electrical engineers than the factory Ford engineers and did some "custom" wiring. If not, it could be instantly frying new...

Yes sir. Factory GT, 8K tach, parchment vinyl top, ps, pdb, original Lucas square eights with pedestals, non A/C car.

The V.I.N. stamp is 9H524624. "9" 1969 "H" Lorain, OH. plant. Mercurys were built there. First V.I.N. numeral "5" will be a Mercury. The 302 probably came out of a Cougar or Cyclone. The casting date code will probably be between June and September, the stamped assembly date probably August...

Been years since I've been here. Does anybody know where 8R01S159387 is? Thx.
