Direct fit? Did you install new exhaust as well? If so, what kind?

Certainly appears to be a Mexico car from the door panels. Too bad about no bill of sale.

Hencho en Mexico ... built in Mexico. Interesting find. When you get more details and pics please share. I'd be interested in it too.

Here's one:

One option I have seen folks use if Pontiac Fiero seats. Do a search for additional info.

Here. Was wondering the same.

Very nice. The blue is a reflection on the chrome.

Will let go for $200 for the pair plus exact shipping cost. PM me if interested. P.S. you might have to re-do the pipe, because this might not fit your existing setup.
Dream car,
I can't make out the part number on the driver's manifold, but the passenger side is D30E, which is for a 1973.

Thanks for the info 1969_Mach 1. I do have power steering.

Recommendations for headers?

I don't think so ;). Thanks for the replies. I guess I need to search for some new manifolds, or headers.

I have a clearance issue with my driver's side exhaust manifold (351W 4V engine) hitting the steering box (see pics) causing some vibration at times through my steering wheel. I changed the motor mounts and still have the issue. The steering box was changed awhile back with a rebuilt unit. Any thoughts or suggestions on what to do to about it?

Mach 1 Driver,
In your video your rear side marker lights look bright as well. Do you have LEDs for them too?

I am interested in a set of high back front seats (OEM) to replace my low backs.

I'm more of a fan of the black out hood treatment, but here's some other examples of Lemans stripes:

What are your thoughts on adding an aluminum intake and heads such as Edelbrock Performer RPM or AFR? Worth the money?

The 1969 351W motors are not that easy yo find any more. In the end, if it were mine and that's is the original 351W motor, I'd do a mild performance or relatively stock build using what is already there. I say mild performance or stock because you can easily go down a rabbit hole with a performance build.
It's a stock convertible with the original stock 4V motor. Used for cruising, cruise ins and car shows.

Follow-up question. Would a valve job help with the oil and compression issues?
-
Tough day returning from a cruise in the other day. Ran over some debris on the highway in traffic which took out half my front spoiler, the speedo no longer works (bounces), and my car started running rough and now it's difficult to keep it running. The later may just be coincidental as I saw no damage underneath the car except the spoiler.
Anyway, while troubleshooting the rough running engine, I pulled the spark plugs and did a compression check and discovered oil on some plugs and low compression on a couple of cylinders.
So, what is your recommendation on tackling this ... rebuild the original 351W, or drop in crate motor? Any idea on what a typical rebuild would cost? Recommendations for a crate motor if I go that route?

Bleach White and a scrub brush.

Danno,
What Halogen lights and relays are you using? I have Sylvania Halogens, but no relays and they are not that bright.

Which paint colour - help me decide
