Hello All!
I'm Freddy, checking in from Wisconsin-I just bought a 71' 429SCJ 4 speed Drag Pack car and I couldn't be happier! I drove a 72' 351 H.O. Mach 1 all through high school and college and found a real Drag Pack car 20 miles from my house and I HAD to have it. She's rough, rusty, missing a ton of parts, but I love it. I have a question for the forum-when is the date cutoff for the trunklid inspection hole that appears under trunk latches after 1971? Apparently in mid 71' Ford service departments had issues accessing the trunk latch mechanism and Ford responded by stamping a rectangular port directly under the latch....My car has a December 19th build date and I might have the wrong trunklid...Any info would be appreciated/Thanks!
