NOS681 - Great idea! I will give this a try.

Rudi - You are probably right, but as you say it's the small details that make it your own.

I did this on my 68, just to be a little different! 
The 67 has the exact same bezel but had all chrome and no paint, the 68 had black highlights.
A bit of attention to detail does make things stand out from the masses.a bit more.
 Mostly goes unnoticed by the uninitiated but  apparently  not by us enthusiasts . . .  so i'm told.

Thanks, Bob. That is a good one. I have bought window and trim parts for my 68 from them as they seem to be correct and of good quality and the videos are helpful.

which is terne plated. It is a form of tinplate, which is coated with an alloy of lead and tin. Mine has a drain plug, might have to look for another model number further down in those listed.

Thanks and sorry for not spelling it out more. It is a mustang convertable and it does runwell. I think he will start at 25K as it has the couple little flaws no turn signels and the little tear in the top. the 13K miles are ligit too. I mite list it for him on Ebay or craigs list.

Debating on a changing to the 22 gallon tank or just replacing mine with a 16 gallon stainless would like to do away with any further rust in tank issues....noticed some are Galvanized some are steel some stainless.

You could place blue painter’s tape and paint it (off the car) to see what it would look like.

If you don’t like, easy enough to remove tape.

Out of curiosity,  I'm wondering if anyone has ever painted the two black areas (as shown in the picture below) the same color as their car. My car is a light blue and I wondered how it would look?

My only view on it all is I like the simplicity of a mechanical fan and one less electrical thing to have to wire up and or worry about.  I’m not the best at electrical wiring but can fumble my way through with the help of the internet and the forums. 

Can those with the CVF measure the distance you have between the front of the water pump pulley to the radiator?

I big time agree RTM. The simplicity of these cars is very refreshing to me and I've seen so many issues with electric fans on these things. I can never understand why people go mess with Ford's engineering to add in stuff like electric fans. It's usually done so ad-hoc too. 😟

This is pretty much what I have on mine Billy. I fitted them maybe 6 or 7 years ago and never had any problems. They are nice and bright too.

Possibly.  That will depend on whether or not Diesel remains constant or goes up.  Heating oil demand has flatlined at this point, so they have a bunch of #2 they can throw red dye in and sell as on-road Diesel.  That's probably keeping the price down for now.  Once that supply glut is used up though all bets are off.  If Diesel goes up, EVERYTHING goes up.  The world runs on Diesel.  I'd gladly pay $6. gallon for gas if Diesel were $2/gallon.

To get your best price you are going to need national exposure.  An auction, eBay, etc. is going to be your best bet.  Fees will eat into the eventual price some, but you have to balance that with the higher price its likely to bring. 

As far as price I would look at all the options, color, etc.  You're going to have to temper everything with the fact that the '71-'73 body style is nowhere near as popular as the earlier cars, but this also creates a secondary market for guys who may be priced out of the '65-'70 market.  I think it being a drop top also helps.  351 doesn't hurt either.  An appraised value isn't a terrible idea, but that's more geared towards replacement cost for insurance.  In the end, as all things, its worth what someone's willing to pay for it.

I didn't talk to him Don. But I did chat it up with a guy who was wearing a 2022 Canyon Lake Car Show t-shirt.
