What I wrote above is true but you can now add:
1969 and 1970 models had a welded in cross member behind the gear |

Well you are in luck and possibly out of luck.
If your body number is CK17 then you either have a 1969 1600GT which does not need a compliance plate or a GTV6 which is worth better money than $600.
As for the tunnel they contain a "horsesh

I think it may be a 70`s as it has a 140mph speedo where as i heard the 69 only went to 120mph
Cant be any older than 70 though as the seatbelt upper anchorages are on the quarter pannel and not the bpillar.
I ended up getting it but not for the price

The 1600GT and 1600XL had full guage clusters with a 120mph speedo. The V6's had a 140mph speedo and a little "v6" near the "rpmX1000" on the tacho.

Yes the number is what is on the slam pannel so he must of just swaped speedos.
The engine bay has been hacked to pieces and the sills are rusted apart.
I was thinking about getting a front cut and welding a new front on ?
I have found a 70`s 1600

That is some bad A pillar rust but Quinton's was nearly as bad and he brought it back: http://www.fordaustralia...m/showthread.php?t=33896 Really you would have nothing to lose by trying to fix it except maybe time and effort. ---- |
