That is the neat thing about people and opinions, and in some cases who has the money and who may not. Sometimes it is down to what one can afford.
Some people will take the time to fix something, as many things made in years past were … -
It is possible someone tore it off thinking it shouldn't have been there. That would have been a shame if it was indeed original.
The way I have heard it is Ford would put on cars what was available at time of assembly. If Billy-Bob's … -
Oh, I have used regular wheel bearing grease from Coastal in the window motor gear housings.
Many many years ago Siemens sold a window motor rebuild kit (gear, grommets and grease) and the grease was in a bottle and looked like regular w… -
A very LONG time ago I had bought the gear and bushing kit from Discount Auto Parts (now Advance Auto Parts) in the "Help" section of parts. I too found the gear assemblies were different between the convertible and the most other EARLIER model Fo…

Interesting. I wouldn't have suspected an intake gasket failure. I will keep that in mind for future troubleshooting. I wonder if that was caused by the original torque done to the intake on assembly at Ford. Did you pull codes that the intake l…

Definitely easy to replace or repair. If you buy new you won't need to worry about them for some time to come.
I have seen about five things happen to power windows, maybe more.
One thing I have seen happen to the motors is … -
That is what is great about living in countries where the government doesn't dictate every aspect of your life to you, when you work, when you are home, whether you eat or not, what you can and can't own, whether you can practice a particular religi…

Advance Auto Parts and AutoZone used to sell them here. I don't look anymore because I buy MOST of my parts for my Limited Editions and other Fords directly from Ford now.
I am never in an auto parts store long enough to stand and look … -
Nice looking TW.

I got my OBD I code scanner at Walmart back in the late 80s to early 90s. I bought my later model (1995/1996 and later) OBD II code scanner at Walmart on clearance about 3 or so years ago.
If you're not familiar with the one you need, i… -
Just to cut to the chase, throttle related may mean the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is acquiring or has a bad spot in the rheostat, or possibly an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve may not be operating correctly.
As you accelerate… -
Does the check engine light work (prove-out when you start the car, or comes on and goes off on start)?
Do you have a check engine light that comes on and goes out when this happens or is on fora while when it happens? -
No correlation to the VIN, one 7-Up is my current daily driver and carries 157777 as the last 6 digits and the other was the show car with last 6 VIN digits 157770 that I had, that I sold when my YB arrived from Colorado a couple of years ago.

Here are the yellow pen marks (like parts marker) from both of the 7-Up convertibles I have and had that were marked. Maybe these marks aren't what you referred to when you mentioned grease pen marks?
-
Underside of each door, yes, you were right about those, underside of the rear bumper cover parallel to the road, inner rear quarters near the trunk lid hinges. You probably already saw evidence of the label here and it is hard to describe this lo…

Yup, I have had a new-old-stock 7-Up F0ZZ white console tray assembly still in the bag for years now. It is a nice bright white color. I never thought about using it to get a color-match paint place to make up some paint for the interior parts tho…

So, you pay for the hotel and the entry cost is covered?
I see nothing about the show details, cost, times or anything but a group peoples names on the website, and links with the e-mail addresses and the titles associated with the names… -
Nope, not me.
I chose to buy a nice heavy black carpeted pair of floor mats with the same countoured design for each of my Feature cars though. To keep the nice thick non-running-pony mats from wearing out at the heel of the right foot … -
The Credit Union that I bank with has been great over the years. When I opened my account 12 years ago, shortly after moving here and starting my job in Marion County Florida, they helped my with my first signature loan to buy my daughter (at the t…

With 61,000 original miles, if it isn't a cancerous rust-bucket from winter driving up there, it is definitely worth that price. Darn, all I need is a YW to complete my collection, but I can't figure out a "creative financing" plan for a car at tha…

These cars sell for all kinds of money. The one I bought from Matt out of Ft. Collins Colorado he tried selling for a year or more and kept dropping his price. This was about 2 years ago now.
I have seen the Limited Edition convertibles for … -
Wiper motor covers carry a 1992 (F2Z) number in the plastic and if my memory serves me correctly I have seen them on 4 cylinder 1992s in the wrecking yards. It could be like rare 2-post factory headrests in mid-1968 year Mustangs, early 1968s don't…

I know there are about 10 or 12 screws in the front header bow on the headliner-type convertible top frame. It has been a while since I have removed (two of) these (one from a parts car I had and one from a wrecking yard car) though. I know I had …
-
It was a nice thought, but they never got back to me. I would have called them if there was a number in their ad. That is what I did with the car in Colorado. A car that inexpensive would be worth it for anyone to check on shipping charges to buy…
-
I contacted them with questions about the car. Since I bought my YB out of Fort Collins Colorado and had it shipped here for about $900.00 it would still be a great deal and it would get the car here for around $2,500.00. I could unload the 5 spee…

If you go to reinstall original size incandescent lamps in your rearview mirror the size bulbs that came out of both the Mustang and the Bowtie mirror are size or number 192. I am not sure if they are a special length or width to fit in the hole in…

Place a small screwdriver into the slot in the black plastic housing between the edge of the map light reflector/light assembly and mirror housing and gently pry toward the center of the mirror with the tip of the blade (the end of the screwdriver t…

I used the same mixture that I wash my vehicles with, a squirt or so in a 5 (or so) gallon bucket of water, not full strength. My apologies if I misled anyone. I clean my Turbines with the same thing, but Turbines are a real pain to clean. Also, …

The wheels on my '92 were very dirty and discolored when I brought the car home. After the car was here almost a year and I had been driving it all over I decided to try to clean the wheels. Fearing I would scrub/chemical clean the "white" off the…
