Hi There
i have just joined this morning & from Down under in Australia , in the process of purchasing a 1969 XR7 Convertible that has been sitting for 17yrs
with the same owner , it requires a full restoration so there are loads of questions & hoping i will find some answers on this forum ,
the vin is 9F94H517167 , it’s not the original color i’ve worked that much out but has the original 351 Windsor 4V and running well ,
i’m having trouble with identifying the gear selector as it has a Hurst Dual Gate 2 fitted & i’m pretty sure this would not be original
i have various photos that i will post shortly for further comment ,
i’m not sure if it’s the original Gearbox but it needs work as there are leaks so i guess i will find out if its only the shifter that has been modified ,
currently red & original color was a sort of metallic pastel mid green & some decisions to be made there if to take it back to original ,
engine bay looks very original & pretty tidy , Air/conditioning compressor mounting brackets are there but no compressor ,
there are alot of interchangeable parts similar or identical with our fords delivered or manufactured in Australia as they where modeled off the Mustangs , cougars & galaxies to shouldn’t be an issue but there will be a lot of items i will need to import from the US ,
any help & advice will be gratefully received,
cheers
