very nice ,has some good options-Power steering & brakes,A/C,Rim Blow steering wheel
the 429 4v.It even has the chrome across the boot and rear corners which not all of them have. Excellent car and must be strange for you to drive a left hander. There is a guy on the Mopar forum that bought a 69 Daytona Charger that was in Austrarlia and had been converted to right hand drive and when he got it back to the states he left it that way and might be the only one in the world or atleast the US.they did a good job with the dash and all but certainly would be weird to drive in the states that way. I guess at one time they made you convert the american cars to right hand drive?

@GTS 429 Yeah , I feel very lucky , I bought it through craigslist and had no idea it was in such good condition. Re right hand drive: They don't make you convert them once they are over 30 years old , falls under classic car. I'm really glad about that because I don't want to alter the car at all. It drives nice, the power steering is very light got used to that. the only problem is overtaking unless you're on the freeway lol ! Being American myself I don't find it at all weird driving it but my wife sure freaks out sitting in the passenger seat lol !
The only thing that bothers me is when they changed the seatbelts , they claim to have thrown out the originals. grrrrr

no need to wait for a catalog,Dearborn Classics sells their parts online also
here is the page with all the rimblow parts looks like you only need the plastic inserts which are $60 US for the set of 3

National Parts Depot also sells the inserts. Always, AWLWAYS check mustang places too before just ordering up from dearborn. Usually better pricing and customer service.
