Hi, i purchased what i thought was a 72 mustang about 10 years ago, and am finally starting to work on it. I've been a mopar guy most of my life and so i really don't know much about mustangs.
--here's the problem.....
the data plate on the door says it's a 72 with deluxe ginger interior. My interior is black, and the door panels are the same a 1970 mustang door panel in my year one catalog.
My Vin number (on the dash) is 1f01F2256761 (with funny looking F's on either side)
-this tells me that it's a 1971
It has a Mach One hood and spoiler, but you can clearly see Boss 302 decals behide the front wheelwells. -They look exactly like the 1971 Boss 351 decals with the exception of the number. When i bought the car i was only 14 and the guy i bought it from said it had a Boss 302 in it when he bought it. Now there is no engine in the car.
I know that there wasn't supposed to be a Boss 302 in the 71's, but i have found pictures online of Ford's publicity shots of a 1971 Boss 302 fastback.
