Hey thanks for all the replies.
Yes, it's a real numbers matching car.
The original owner sold it to my dad last fall. He got a great deal on the car, and has almost all the reciepts for it. The only thing he's missing is when it got a new top and the body repaired.
The p/o was a little upset he couldn't find those receipts. But EVERY other thing done to that car has a receipt for it. It's great.
Here's his website on the car.

Since he got it. We've replaced most of the exterior chrome, repaired the floor, and rebuilt the engine and detailed it (It only took us month too!).
It looks mint, but it'd be nive to have something a little more unique.
I can't see the car ever being sold anyhow. The p/o called it "Molly" and so does my dad, I call it "Inheritance"
lol
He's considered many times putting a v8 in, it won't lose value...what it loses for the numbers not matching, it gains for being a v8, but...why ruin the fact the numbers match. Which is why he hasn't switched it, and why we've considered giving that i6 a little more pep. It'd be unique.
Putting a v8 in hasbeen tempting though, he's a mechanic, and we currently have a 289 from my meteor sitting in the garage being rebuilt, a 5.0 sitting on the floor of the garage for when the f150's dies, and, not that it would go in the mustang, but there's a 425 old super rocket sitting in there too (it's for my '86 chevy truck...when I find the parts I need to make it fit)
I think I'll order that book for my dad though...his birthday is coming up
Thanks,

ps CobraSix, Since you've run both the TRI and 250/2v setups, which would you say has the better hp/tq numbers.
The tunability isn't a big deal, as this car is just a cruiser, not a daily driver.
