I knew the family, the history and the car. at was no beauty. more of a beater not worth fixing. phred

sms material is not correct. phred

Cory, I find that on later model cars that have the tong and clips on 'em, you just bust 'em off and reattach with superglue. works good. phred

shouldn't take to long to get rid of the rest of he signitures....phred

now we know the Shelby/Cosby connection! phred

I knew of a lime one in the Seattle area, not sure if the sc was dealer or factory. the washer bag was relocated to the lower engine compartment on the side cowl panel by the heater. was an original car, but had been whacked in the rr and poorly repaired in vegas. as I recall the story. almost bought it for 9k back then. phred

what color? phred

thanks for info. verified that the original color of car is black. didn't realize that it was special order. the door tag is blank for color, so the dso is the whole deal not just color, like some. now I need to verify if clint eastwood did install the steering column. phred

thanks, I have somewhere, the dso decoding book, along with the fleet colors. a lot of dso's were for paint colors (not all) but I determined that this is an all original paint car (including the deck lid) and it is factory black, which was not offered as a standard color, it had to be special ordered. thanks, phred

answered my own question, black was not a standard color for the 72 torino, so ya got the cheap mirror! phred

anybody have ford fleet color book from 1972? has all the special order colors and chips in it, mine is not handy. looking for color (wt) 2021. nothing listed on the marti other than special color. the car is black, looks like orig paint,except deck lid. car doesn't have sport mirrors (they were deleted if you had special paint, but I see nothing special about black) has lots of the brownish primer showing, was black in an old hot rod magazine. 54 ticks on the clock  phred

my 70 had 3:91 with close ratio. also had the oil cooler. think it came as p package like the drag pac did. (non mustang) phred
