60/64 Master Parts |

your points are valid but a little off. i used the 61 model parts book that only covers 61 and was printed in late 1960. and as far as production goes, not all cars that go down the line are production cars. many cars are test mules that are basically assembled and then sent elsewhere for modification and development. there was a boss 302 powered 68 mustang coupe mule, and a shelby coupe or two and a 1970 cougar boss 302 convertible. these were pretty much built on the line but you could not order one therefore it is not a regular production vehicle. it is a preproduction prototype or test mule and these are not generaly considered production automobiles. also all production cars are registered with the AMA (automobile manufactures association) and you won't find any of these listed as being available. i don't doubt that there were a few birds with stick shifts but it was not a regular production option and each car would have been hand modified as there were no production parts to assemble it with. and to make the point a little more, you are more likely to see parts in the books that were never made than parts that were made but not listed (1971 boss 302 parts for example, anyone need some D1ZZ boss 302 fender decals?). hawkrod |
