the car is the original color, it is a 50 50 car, dover white, the door ends and the quater ends that you dont see when the door is closed are original paint, its kinda yellowish white, like its faded over the yrs. it has the original hood marked 42nd week of the yr, original trunk lid h 35 or 42 im not sure i will check it, it has a front and rear spoiler, and has the center brace hole drilled out for the center brace, but its the only brace i dont have??? the quarters are either 42 or 43 i cant tell, the drivers door has 2 stampings behind the door panel, one is a H35 i think but it is at the bottom, the other one is at the top and is a H42 i think, the pass side has one stamp and it matches the drivers door upper stamp., i found the grommet and wires for the original cowl hood wiring, about 12 inches are left on the engine side but the interior side has the whole length to go to the fuse panel.
i wonder if there is a build sheet under the headliner? someone told me there might be, it is ripped a little and the seems are dry rotted but still holding, i might have a look under the headliner to see if i can find a build sheet.
im going to get a pad of paper and write down all the numbers i can find on this whole car and record them so i will have them close at hand. i do have the starter and it is a 1108418 i think, i have the bellhousing for the clutch it is a 621 aluminum type and in mint shape, it has a clip on one of the bolts to hold the starter wires from hitting the exhaust. i twisted the driveshaft once when i was doing a front wheel stand, and it sliced the floor pans up a little, but not noticable, but i did just get done fixing the shifter hole from when i cut it out when i was a kid. i think they should have never sold a hurst super shifter, a friend told me my car was an automatic because it had a lever on the bottom of the steering column and the shifter hole was cut out with a torch, i said why does it have a clutch pedal then??? well over the yrs, i found out the truth, it has a reverse lockout, which i think goes on the car and the torched cut out hole well, thats the way they did it in 69, so i have finally got it mig welded back and found the bottom original hole for the shifter and about 2 inches of the original torch cuts from the factory are still there, if i showed you the repair and you didnt know it was fixed, you wouldnt even know it or notice, thing is im usually cussing someone who chops up cars, well i did it myself when i was about 19, so now at 45 guess who's kicking who??
anyway i will try to load a photo of it soon, i do have a photo of me and the car when i was 18, the tile says 38000 miles on it and when i bought it the clerk personally came out to inspect the cars milaege to make sure, its how they did it back then i guess, he said how much are you paying son? i told him and he said" dont you think thats alot for this car"? but compared to nowdays, you couldnt even by a sub frame for that. to get ready for the wedding i checked the rear brakes, well they havent work at all since ive owned the car, passenger was locked up and leaked sometimes but the drivers side worked but it has a cracked drum, the pass drum is in mint shape not even worn but the drivers is worn badly and cracked, i took off the original brake shoes and the original cylinders to it, i had to, in order to get it going for the wedding.it still has the original clips on the rear end to hold the brake lines and also the clip under the differential cover bolt as well, i had to replace the pass side brake line, i tried to save it but it was to rusted, but i saved and used the spring scuff guard on the new line. i have stuff from this car that i took off since i was a kid, oh by the way dad wouldnt let me drive it to school, he said no way son, i had to take the ford mustang or my 1979 honda civic, bummer but id bet i would have gotten bothered over it and he knew it to.
please give me time to answer all questions and i will get to them asap.
thank you
