Hi Guys, You're absolutely right! I don't have a build sheet... and I knew this would surface those questions again thus "just for fun"!! Second owner told me when he got the Mach 1 from the original owner, it was untouched - matching sheet metal, fenders & hood. All I could do was check the numbers stamped for shift # codes that assembled it, the paint conditions with factory primer, etc. Those all match. I never thought when I starting taking my car apart that anything was chanded (non-stock), and it wasn't. I expect due to the Exort order... it was Special ordered with a 351 ( etc ) Mach type underhood Ram Air & has the pie cut outs. I have early 69 pictures of prototype cars that have scoop style hoods with the 428 tags on the scoop. Marti report of couse just states Ram Air, as well as my Ford report. And reading the Ford Arm Chair guides for ordering a 69 428CJ, I see know reason why the car didn't get done that way. It has nothing to do with the April 1, 1969 build date.... it is the way the Mach 1 was ordered. Thanks for the expert observations though. |
