I've owned those parts since 1973. I purchased my Fairlane in 1970. It was my first car and I never got rid of it. I finally decided to restore it and build another engine for it. The car has been off the street since 1974 and was never driven in the winter. It is a custom color (saphire blue) which was only available on T-Birds. I found the paperwork for special paint under the carpet when I started restoring it this winter. The paper is in perfect condition. I also ran into the original owner last year at the woodward cruise (Detroit) and he gave me the window sticker, bill of sale and the order sheet the following day. It shows the custom things that were ordered on the car. Ireally look forward to getting this car back on the road. I had a lot of good times cruising Woodward ave. while I was growing up. They started a cruise there several years ago for us nostalgia buffs and it has now turned into a week long event with over 1,000,000 people attending. There is some fine iron here in Detroit. Thanks for the heads up on the rocker shafts. I will contact them. The gear I have in there (3.91 detroit locker) I got when I worked at Ford. Ipurchased the pig with 4.57 gears in it and it was tore apart. I got it for $5.00. I took it into Ford and rebuilt it on the production line with new Ford 3.91 gears , bearings, seals and the works. The foreman wrote me a pass to bring it through the gate and a pass to take it out. That was a great $5.00 investment. |
