Ford sucks...or do they?

Haven't seen it Mac...my try to find this place online yielded a porno site so I'll have to grab a Trader! .

Let me see if my daughter (13) can scan it for you. Trader is not worth buying. Did I say that

I agree that proper documentation prevails when purchasing a car today. I just bought a 70 442 W-30 out of Toronto,it was a Canadian sold car and had the GM Vintage letter but it was the other paper work that blew me away starting with the receipt for the $100 deposit left on Aug 8 1969 all the way through to the mirror card with hand written info from the salesman about what breakin procedure to follow.
Fords and Mopars are easy to spot with the correct engine size right in the vin. The diff between docs and no docs is huge in todays collector price market.I have always had Oldsmobiles and Mopars in my camp,so I cant relate to the Chev/Ford fued.

Congrats on the '70 W30...is it a post car? .

I bought a '70 442 Post car in Toronto about 25 years ago and drove it the hour home down Hiway 401 w/ a dealer plate flapping, a leaking gastank and no brakes! .
Obviously foolish now but seemed to make perfect sense back then...even took it up over 100 mph on route! .

Although much safer really than the run in the Oldsie, I remember hanging the dealer plate on the back of the Super Late Model Camaro stock car one afternoon and running it about 10 miles up Hiway 12 between our shop in Brooklin Ontario and the paint shop in Manchester...even wore my helmet, safety first you know! .

The car is hardtop. Sold new at Central Motors in London. Paperwork also had business cards of "Performance Sales Manager" and "Hi Performance Technician". The car was in the London area for all its life.
