I don't have a 71, but rather a 63, so I can't answer definitively. I can say though that having my trans rebuilt was cheaper and safer that simply sticking in another one. This was the first thing I did after buying the car in 1995. Wayne

Nice looking car. Tell me that's not snow in the third picture. Wayne

I'm sorry, Lee, we should probably start a thread spelling out how we have been bitten by cars over the years, some of which were preventable, and some of which just happened! I'm guessing that the wrist watch thing required a doctor's attention? Maybe even the wedding ring? My wife would have faile...

Nice, very nice! Wayne

I've used the near cat litter stuff, too, but can't remember what it is called. It comes in a bag; any parts store will have it: you may even find it at tractor supply. If I know when and where I'm going to drip oil, I put it down first. The click bait says to use baking soda, but if I took that out...

The same event necessitated a trans rebuild on my 63coming home from a car show. It was the first thing to go wrong with it since brining it home. The good news is that repair stuck, and it happened back in '95. Wayne

From the Wayne's not Haynes manual: Disconnect negative battery cable. Insert tank, tighten fasteners. Wayne

I understand the love that people have for these cars. I have seen and met the people at shows who own them. They are proud people, who deserve being called that, because their pride is real. I hang out with Zephyr, Capri, Mark IV and slabside people, and the Zephyr guy (my brother) is apt to say af...

You've seen all of the old car places that I know of, Lee, except for one private collection in the southern part of the state. I haven't seen it, nor do I remember the name of the collection, but I have heard that it is very good. It may begin with "B". I suspect that we've both been to t...

Hi Lee, have you ever been to the Seal Cove Auto Museum, very near Acadia National Park? They have the most amazing collection of one-off brass era cars. Many of them have a sign near them that says "This is the only known example". I was stunned. Nobody mentioned that there was a 1963 Lin...

Nice car! Looks brand new! Wayne

Thanks. I love perspective. Wayne

You must be right, Tony. I live near the Owls Head Transportation Museum, and every year there is a kit car there of some variety at their Saturday shows. There has been a 57 chevy, and lots of strange looking roadsters. I think I have seen a Model T Kit car that only started with a frame. My cousin...

One could probably build a whole Mustang just by ordering parts. Here in Maine, we may not have jaw dropping entertainment, bit we have had lots of rain and wind. Not exactly a peaceful spring. Wayne

Now Lee, they're probably also going to use those skinny tires, too. Without the whitewalls. It's their car. The OP did say what year, so he's close to you, in year, and he's practically a neighbor to me in location. We both like original. Wayne
