Can anyone tell me about the emblem that is correct for a '71 GT convertible with hideaway headlights? It looks like it's round but not the same as a '70. A picture??? Thanks!! |

OK Dave and John. I'll get the car out and get some pic's up this weekend. BUT..... Here is my problem. I have the original set of '65 thru '72 Ford car parts books. The books show a different part # for a '70 and '71. I found new reproduction units and inserts at Mac's and Dearborn Classics, but is noted that it is for a '70 only! What is the difference? |

(hell i'm still learning differences in the 72-76 cars usually the hard way )

The 71 uses a vertical center emblem that has GT stacked on top of each other like the round one. ------------- 72 Montego GT Q code ram air 71 Ranchero 500 M code shaker 71 Ranchero base M code shaker 70 Mach 1 H code 71 Mach 1 M code 4-speed 71 Fastback M code 71 Cougar XR7 convert. M code |

That is cool, and it's just begging for some back lighting with LED's. ------------- Don 73 Ranchero "Sport 72 front end", floor shift/console, planning EFI 7000 rpm 351 stroker 73 Ranchero GT 351C-4V &4R70W for sale later. 92 Lincoln Mark VII SE GTC, OBDII 347/4R70W |

I thought the same thing when I saw the new one pictured on the 1971 image. Specifically on the "G" and "T". ------------- Joe 1972 Mom's Squire Wagon 1972 Torino Wagon 1976 Torino 1968 Cougar XR7-First batch 1972 Torino 460 1989 BroncoII/Jeeps/Titanimous Popeye and Brutus (Rams) |
