69RavenConv 288 Report post Posted August 4, 2008 Ok, I know it's only August, 2008, but as I'm showing my Marti report to a friend today, I realized that next year, our beloved toys turn 40 (mine was built on 06/04/69). Some of you may actually have cars built this year. Maybe we could put together a calendar with everyone's build date on it. Ok, maybe not, but I'm gonna try to think of something to do with the Mustang next June 4th. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bnickel 10,004 Report post Posted August 8, 2008 DSO is the ordering district. my mustang had a Houston DSO and the cougar had a Dallas DSO. the cougar was sold new here in Lubbock so it was either ordered in Dallas and transferred to Lubbock or West Texas didn't have a specific ordering district and used the Dallas district instead. i'm not real clear on that one exactly, i'm sure a Marti report would tell me or an invoice or something.

bnickel 10,004 Report post Posted August 9, 2008 believe it or not the PNW is the holy grail of rust free parts for a lot of cars, especially cougars. one of the biggest cougar wrecking yards around is in washington state and they have more rust free sheetmetal than yards in cali. i thought the same as you that it would be hard to find anything rust free up there where it rains so much but i guess it doesn't snow a lot and they don't use any salt on the roads there or something Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
