I've got some 427 blueprints for sale - cheap.
By Dave Shoe - 03/08/2002 12:53:24 AM; IP 63.233.224.47
As mentioned before, I just picked up a set of FE 427 blueprints off ebay for a pittance.

There are 12 sheets of paper to this set, each sheet measures 18" X 24" (slightly larger than size C, so I couldn't copy any tonite).

The Ford master printset appears to be six sheets of size F paper at full scale. These (I'm guessing) were shrunk to half-scale (size D) for general distribution inside Ford, and each sheet was apparently split in half so it could be recorded to microfiche for wider distribution.

The 12 sheets of these prints are labeled "Frame 1" thru "Frame 12", probably for the microfiche department (remember these are just hairbrained theories of mine - I'm just trying to figure out what the hell I just bought). Frame 1 and 2 appear to represent the first sheet of the blueprints, 3 and 4 the next, and there is some overlap between the pairs, so fading at the edge of one sheet is sometimes easy to read on the neighbor sheet.

Fading is an issue, but optical blooming is also present, making the fattened characters hard to distinguish in some cases. Overall, the prints are still great.

At the time of this writing, I see the price of a set going for $75.00 tops, postpaid. This number will drop if a few extra folk hop on.

Check out the fordfe.com posts for blueprint details:
