    Looks red on the passenger side, and clear on the drivers side. Mustangs used different colored knobs. Cool Car!!

    Yes, they are different. I assume the drivers has been replaced. It's tight and feels new (no wear).

    Thanks!
    Mustangs used different colors? Like clear on one side and a color on the other? :rofl:
    My sprint also has color knobs.

    Not to get off topic, but color are they?
    Mustangs had 9 different colors, plus clear, from 68-72.

    When I bought the car (in the 90's) I remember it having a broken one on the drivers side and a white one on the passenger. I found a pair of black ones and replaced them, but kept the old ones. I went out last night to look for the white one, but couldn't find. Either it had a white one and I need to look more, or I'm remembering something else.

    I believe it's something she had added to it.

    Yes, and what a job it was. There were alot of stickers! I polished the back bumper after I got them all off, and it came out well.

    Come on now - I'll get to it! The important thing is it's out of the weather, right? :yup: time and money...time and money... :rofl:

    Lets face it guys. Even though we love these cars they arent going to fund our retirement. Not worth huge money even original so I say put a nice 302 in it and have fun. Just my opinion. Even if you keep the 6 its still going to be a nice clean car. Good find. I only have one Mav though. I see you have your own car lot. I might leave it as a six if I had a v8 car also like yourself.
