dchandler60 10 Report post Posted May 4, 2007 I cannot seem to find out what this blank below Mustang is supposed to be? I have looked at alot of mustangs and have not seen it, and cannot seem to order it. I do believe this is original fender and my car is a 69 fastback w 351w from factory. Is this original? or someone put this on , and what is it supposed to be? Thanks David [/img] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
9R03F 10 Report post Posted May 4, 2007 On page 138 of the "Mustang Recognition Guide 1965-1973" by Larry Dobbs, Donald Farr, Jerry Heasley and Rick Kopec there is a picture of a `69 Fastback with that same emblem below the Mustang script. I can't make out what it says in there, maybe GT? http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x106/dchandler60/mustangrfender.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
9R03F 10 Report post Posted May 4, 2007 After trying to get a better look I don't think it says GT, looks like 3 characters, just can't make it out. It's an original part alright though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pakrat 1,043 Report post Posted May 4, 2007 It should in fact say 351 for your car. This was a rare and seldom seen option that I have seem before. Usually it is only found on a 351 or 390 car that does not have a hood scoop with the regular square engine badge number on it. Why Ford made this one oddball item at an angle is beyond me except that maybe they tried to match the script but up until just a few years ago it was not reproduced but I believe i have seen it in the most recent CJ Pony or NPD catalog, not sure which though.

Pakrat 1,043 Report post Posted May 4, 2007 This is a copy out of my Ford body assembly manul that I scanned for a differen treason but you can see it here and barely make out the description on item 2 to the right. Looks like it is CJ PONY Parts BTW that makes a stick on repro of it in 351 only, here's the item number. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
