Would the Dealer Added Ford Hang On A/C with out Documentation garner you Fewer or the Same Points Deductions as a Vintage Air A/C?  I would hope Fewer.

This is why I asked if it was a driver. Adding AC even a full 1969/70 setup will lose you points. A dealer added setup with receipts is still a day two mod. If it's not on the Marti it's a deduction.
The OP needs to understand there seems to be a current trend for these cars to be returned to as born. While his desire for AC makes sense there are those who will look down their nose at whichever system he installs. As for me his car his choice - I'm not into judging and don't like a cars history being lost by turning it into a day one trailer queen.

The good things is, I don't care about points. I want a drivable car 365 days a year, and in Vegas that means AC. It's going to get done one way or the other. I don't want to do anything stupid or ugly, but it has to happen.

 Points schmoints.....Atta boy !

Use it, like it was meant to be.

In the end you will rejoice on all the good memories made.

By the way what type of refrigerant will you be using in your new Day Two air conditioning system.....chilling

A nice show, but mostly late models. I had my 69 there 3 years ago.

Well
Well
Well
A very belated congratulations on your AWARD well done my friend !

Another strange question but worth exploring......... I have owned well over 100 Mustangs over the last 40 Years, many 69/70 Fastbacks. a couple of them actually came with Dealer Installed Ford A/C that ran along the Lower Dash on both sides.  I know when Judging, you ding for Aftermarket A/C. Would the Ding be just as bad if was a Dealer Installed Ford A/C? 

Also, does anyone know if any Shelby was sold with a Dealer Installed Ford A/C?


Reason I ask is, I have seen a couple at the big Moultrie GA Swap Meet for sale in the past.

I have a buddy "Mikie from Miami" he own a bunch of cars.

One is a very original paint, interior 1970 shelby 500 4 speed car, he bought from the original owner.

The original owner of the 500, back in 71 or 72 drove back to the original dealer of purchase and had factory AC installed.

Included was a new dash, vents, under dash parts, the hole kit and kabootle.

When Mikie asked for "more documentation" like the sales receipt for the parts and install from the Ford dealer.

The original owner snarled at him with a who keeps all that crap. Its a old car, you going to buy it or not ?
If not get out.


Mikie gave him the Benjamin's and trailered it back home.

No paper work, no proof. Guess this install never happened....
