ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

mercuryturbo Oh look.... a real car, with no hair dryer Donating Members 1,724 Member For: 17y 8m 9d Gender: Male Location: Fear and Loathing in Callala Bay Posted 29/11/08 10:12 PM Share Posted 29/11/08 10:12 PM Its very similar to my old Mustang that I used to own.M code 351 means 4V heads & quite possibly a 4 bolt crank as well although this isnt always the case.My car was also plated & converted to RHD by Ford Aust. in 1971, only a few cars were done by Ford that year so its fairly rare.Hope this helps.
