    This Mav has been in the family since it rolled off the assembly line. It's currently awaiting a new street/strip 306.

    Yeah, I saw the DSO too! Only 802 out of 500,000+ 1970's.

    Order date is also before the "debut" date.:)

    This was my dad's "company car." He was an engineer for Ford from 1963 to 2002.

    I was reading the Marti Report thinking... man this report isn't making the car 1 of a kind like they say.

    Then you posted that. You didn't need the marti report for it to be unique.

    There may be some old photos of it still lying around. If I find them I will post them in the gallery. There used to be an old 8mm film reel of my mom racing it at Milan Dragway in '71, I'll have to look for it.

    7.5" axle. Probably had different ratios than the 8".

    Thank you, but i'm sure it's not as clean as yours. I love the color combo of yours.
