RE: Shaker is Mustang, Flapper is Fairlane.
By Geoff McNew - 11/12/2003 7:09:44 AM; IP 66.52.140.16
My daddy ordered a '69 R-code shaker scoop Mach 1 in mid '68 from his pal who co-owned the South Sanfagsicko Ford dealership and from whom our family biz ordered at least 20 Fords over the years. It was delivered, yes they used to do that, right into the driveway in San Anselmo,CA, clear across the bridge, in mid Dec. of '68. It was the 2nd 428 Mach 1 sold in CA at the time...no slats, no spoilers, green metallic...it was raining at the time...I was 6 years old, but it was one of my first salient childhood memories...pretty sick, huh.

Dada had ordered it with a 4.10 gear, 4-speed, posi and windage tray... that's what the dealer wrote up...and that's what my very anal machinery salesman dad had down on paper. Of course, we find, it never was sold with a 4.10 gear, and no it didn't come that way either...he was pissed!

When it did show up...many weeks late...in mid Dec., it had a C-6 and no tray. It did have the 3.91 Tac-loc, and although I couldn't tell you for sure if it had an oil cooler, I'd have to guess it was still an SCJ. Dada was going to refuse the car b/c of the auto and re-order, but b/c of all the hype and demand (the H-M car had won the winternationals / hot rod mag articles, etc.) the best the dealer could do was tell him 4 months on another order.

I suspect there were a lot of these sort of "stories" on first model year cars. My #9R02R132760 w/ V-code axle & 6-code trans looks very much like the guys in San Jose,CA were trying to "get it together", although the thing has clearly never been stuffed. From my own experience in the machinery business selling 800 HP pumps 22' long with lube sets, seal systems & Falk reducers the size of pianos, I can understand how it happens. ISO-9000 was still a long way off.
This thread, so far...
