Elgin Black Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Added a 1971 Grande to the stables. It has a 351C auto with 56,000 miles. I thought it was the 2nd time around, have receipts including the original bill of sale. I was able to track the mileage through servicing up to Oct of 2014. It is something to play with as I have both Shelbys the way I want them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIKEBOY Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Beautiful car ! Nice socks ! C'mon now Chris....you know you wore those back in the day too!!! Thanks on the car.... I remember thinking I was a lucky guy to own that beast at that age. I had a job just to support that car at a grocery store as a carry out (bagger). In fact met my wife at that same grocery store doing the same job all those years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowing the lawn, at the lake, etc. I'm finding it harder and harder to find them with stripes anymore.

39Mustang Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Are you 100 percent sure on your 351C in your Grande because all records show a Cleveland never came in a Grande? They were all 351W with FMX and there are no documented 69 Mustangs with a 351C We had a 72 Grande and for years my brother thought it was a 351C until I proved to him those were Windsor heads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can't wear shorts mowing, just don't like being hit by flying objects on bare legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
