69convertible 10 Report post Posted January 12, 2013 Hi from across the pond I have just found your great site for the 69/70 lovers. So i though i would share what i have been doing over here in england . This is my 69 convertible exported from your home land in 1969 when the car was new . When it got to england it was converted to RHD , then after many years on uk roads it needed a restoration , Thats when i bought it . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miketyler 15 Report post Posted January 12, 2013 Welcome to 1969stang.com You have come a long way with that car. Looks good and a RH driver too. I know nothing about export models, was that a factory RH driver or was it converted? I am kindve partial to metallic blue but that car will probably look good no matter what color you paint it.

RPM 1,190 Report post Posted January 13, 2013 Nice work. Now the fun of putting it back together begins. What makes hok black different from any other black? Is it metalic, pearl or have other hues in it? I always thought black was black, unless something was added to it. Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
