    In the pile of parts, I found:
    2 1969 tailights, the one that the reverse light is all clear, no red.
    1 1969 front valance
    16 headlight bezels
    2 condensers (a/c)
    6 grill mounted lights
    enough window trim for 3 cars
    4 washer bottles
    more small bumper brackets than I care to count
    8 markers lights (front and back)
    and loads of little stuff.....way too much stuff, I thought I was just getting a car.

    You dog!! Good for you. Cant wait to see how this turns out to be a driver and not too nice. I dont believe it for one second.
    You guys are getting me all excited. If I buy another car as a project I may end up single. If I had more space I'd have another one on the go already though. I love the building part. Trying to get my brother to get a hold of his father in laws 72 GTO 455 car. Hes the original owner with 40000 miles sitting in the garage. Hasnt been out this year. Hopefully thats my next project.:thumbs2:

    Dave I believe this car came from Moore Ford that used to be here in Central Arkansas. I believe they were on Broadway in North Little Rock. They sold out years ago to the current North Point Ford. I bought a 74 Maverick Grabber form them my Junior year in high school. That is amazing that the car is way up there now. Nice car by the way. Congrats! (y)

    Thanks! That's cool to know. I ordered a Marti Report last night, so we'll see what it says.
    The guy I bought the car from, bought if from his buddy, that bought it in Crawfordsville AR in 2003, and brought it up here. They both did a little work on it here and there, but it mostly sat. He was actually somewhat upset yesterday when we loaded it on the trailer, but he was happy it was going to a good home. :oops:

    Wow! That almost sounds like the 12 days of Christmas. :rofl: Cool discovery.

    That's why I asked. I knew there used to be Moore Ford around here.

    Tomorrow, it'll meet the power washer....I don't think I'm even going to paint this car!
    I have a budget :rofl2: and I'm sticking to it :rolleyes:. I figure the only part I'll need to buy new, is the front windshield gasket.

    Dave, by any chance was there an extra rear valance with the package? I need one for one of my cars. I "borrowed" from the '72 Comet to complete the bumper swap on my racecar.:rolleyes:

    I haven't thought much about it yet, but I have 3 302's and 2 C-4's sitting in the garage, so I think I'll go that direction...
    Or I might pull the 306 & AOD out of my green car, and use that, and put the original engine and trans back in it....
