Welcome! Dan Pausch, 6bblgt on Moparts, or you can find him on FB, is who I bought the car showboard for my 70 GTX which listed all of the options and production numbers on the fender tag. It's not as specific as the Marti report you can get for a Ford: (i.e. yours is 1 of 12 in this color...

If you want to keep it original, find a shop with a brake lathe, someone who knows how to set it up correctly, and machine the rotors unless they are too worn. A better system is a Pro Cut on car lathe. I think Centric rotors were made in the states, but they are out of business. You might still...

I have the Tenhulzen setup for camber, caster and toe which works well but you do have to do some extra work to get the steering wheel to come out level since it's only a two-wheel alignment system. Not sure if I would spring for the $599 G2 model, but the G1 for $189 is doable.

I was lucky to get the $60 or $80, I think it was, for a low, low mile set of 906's that were completely done with SFT springs, retainers, etc. Nobody wanted them. The set of 346 heads I got with some other parts went straight to the recycling bin.

Well, it is local to me, and I could use the steering wheel, but not the rest of the carcass.

The square holes get one of those clips like you have in the installed in the round hole in the pic. There are six clips for mounting that molding. That's how it is in my 70 GTX.

What I have seen for the 1970 air grabber, the actuator is actually plated black dichromate, and the bracket is grey phosphate, not paint.

I don't think you'll find any of those are actually made in USA. Even the Hein-Werner is "assembled in USA", which means they just bolted the wheels onto an offshore jack. All will have, at best, a Shinn Fu pump.

That's a familiar looking pic! I've never come across an emblem for sale separately.

I've been out of the tool business for eight years now, but my customers who bought the NAPA jacks were always pissed because the jacks failed in a year, if they even made it that long.

Old USA, and I mean old jacks lasted the longest. New ones, not so much. Every jack today, no matter if they claim to be Made In USA, has a Chinese Shinn Fu pump since they own all the rights for manufacturing. Sure, there might be some sketchy Pakistani or Indian pumps out there, but for the...

Those are the clips I'm using on my GTX. Metal with a stud, not plastic. The same ones that fit the deck lid trim fit the quarter extension trim.

The two holes are .5" from the edge of the deck lid and are about .135" in diameter.

Looks like factory A/C to me, but I'm all for adding air conditioning to the cars, factory original or not.

"Testing the waters" and the other one is "gauging interest" on whatever overpriced pile they're trying to unload.
