Hello All,
We are excited to have this wealth of information available to us. My Grandfather purchased my uncle a 72 GTS for his High school graduation. I was born that same year. Long story short, he gave me that car 15 years later. To my excitement, my son is now interested in getting it back on the street. We look forward to hearing suggestions on where to procure replacement parts and etc. We already have the 351C 2v out and broken down. Ready for machine shop. Admin, Let me know if i did this wrong...

Welcome aboard! Great story, cars with family history are the best. Mine was purchased new by my dad, now I have it and my son also enjoys it. I upgraded you to a new member so you have full forum privileges. Post some pics or start a project thread when you have a chance.

Bravo. I hope my son will want to learn a trade before any thoughts of college get planted in his head. Whatever he chooses, as long as he loves doing his thing, it will never seem like work.
