    71 parts car value

    Grand coupes are the cheapest and least desirable . still as others mentioned, lots of good 1 year only parts there. The front bumper and mounts are probably the single most valuable item…depending on condition, $250-500. A perfect one would be $700…turn signals, wheelwell and other trim...

    Minor appearance upgrade…

    New valve covers..these are $100 Chinese cast aluminum. Ford 302. Best part, I had to buy GM grommets to fit the openings…took hours of driving to auto parts stores to find the right grommets… They sealed well, look good. Really hard to see them! 302 looks lost in a 71 engine bay...

    Engine Block Number

    If you have a 302, the VIN should be stamped on the top of the block, in the back, drivers side, facing up. Just behind intake. Look for a flat spot about 1.5x2 inches. Clean the paint and grime off and partial car vin is there….

    1971 Mustang cowl vent block off cover plate

    On my 71, the kit came with an lower block off plate to RTV and screw in from underside. That left a bowl up top to capture water, which concerned me. I made a thin walled aluminum cap to cover it, sprayed it black to hide it, and RTV’d it to death… it’s easier on a 71, huge openings to cowl...

    Radiators

    I bought one of those $175 Chinese 3 core radiators from Amazon. My car is AC car, so I got a 26”. It cools great. The only problem is the mount points don’t work with stock mount parts….if I cut and grind some tabs I can fix that. Otherwise all good..

    Dash removal...assistance please? Seats?

    Lift pad up about 4 inches and pull back in a Hard jarring yanking motion! For the seats, by far the easiest is to unbolt track from floor, then remove assembly.(2 vertical bolts front, 2 horizontal bolts rear) Then remove track from seat bottom if needed.

    Convertible Top Pump and Lift Cylinders O-RINGS

    I bought new cylinders and lines and they came with a pack of small o rings, I think they were to seal the line to the cylinder and pump. I have never seen a rebuild kit. Mine looked pressed and sealed permanently.

    Fender removal

    Yes if you are referring to the L shaped front edge of the fender those can stay on. You do have to remove the valance, and probably the bumper. On my car the grill is under the fenders, so it can stay on…. In the area of the spring and upper control arm, remove all the goop.
