Rindelmach1 14 Report post Posted May 27, 2019 My 69 Mach 1 was build from factory with fixed rear seats. I'd like to keep it stock so i don't lose any value being that i have original engine. trans and seats. Question is can i convert to fold down rear seats with original ford parts and still retain the value? 1 Grabber70Mach reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

copb8 97 Report post Posted May 31, 2019 Just keep the original seats for the next owner. If he's gung-ho on all original you'll have him covered. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hux 45 Report post Posted June 1, 2019 Is it a concourse show car? You will no doubt loose points for deviation if you do. Fold down seat, tach dash and shaker hoods are all desirable for most IMHO and although having them on the Marti would deliver best resale I bet no-one would ever pay less (except for the concourse car) if you had these on an otherwise original car (except I wouldn’t cut a genuine good hood). I am biased though as I am doing exactly this on my Mach 1 (70). I really wanted these features as its the look I love and I have sourced the genuine parts (except for the shaker) to convert it.

mustangstofear 608 Report post Posted June 1, 2019 Plus you can keep the original parts a d put it back the way it came. I have 69 Cobra Jet with the non foldown that I've never replaced, and I have a lot of them in stock :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
