DaveC Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Riding Darren's coat-tails with this post.😀 Brought home this 44K mile 72 2 weeks ago. Custom package 350 4 bbl, 12 bolt posi A/C, Power windows, Tach dash, bench seat, AM/FM stereo Early built - 5th week November 71, so no seat belt warning light in dash, and has the larger seatbelts. Drives like new, rides smoother than my restored cars...something to be said for rubber vs. urethane bushings I guess. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC1of80 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I hope someday my 71 402 "barn find" will be as beautiful as yours! Almost the same options as yours. Just not as nice. Absolutely beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveC Posted October 11, 2020 Author Share Posted October 11, 2020 I pulled the back seat out today, no build sheet top or bottom.... Checked under the front seat the day I brought it home, nothing there either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Peters Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 How about under the carpet rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, I really don't feel like pulling it apart!! It'd really be nice to find, I'd like to know from where it was originally sold. But, I've resolved to be satisfied without it. as, I have no doubts as to what's there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Peters Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Dave, I was able to at least reach under the front carpet enough to find one on mine. Mine is a bench seat. rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveC Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 Thanks Rob, that's encouraging news! I'll have to give it a try in that case. Did you find it on the passenger or driver side? I've never found one under the carpet before. Of the 6 first gens I have, this is the only one not to "cough up" a build sheet!! I did see paper between one of the clasps (not a hog ring) under the back seat. Perhaps someone beat me to it... The previous owner passed almost a year ago, so likely I'll never know.

I have an odometer statement from the state of Delaware when the last owner purchased it in December of 2000 stating 39,000 then. The last owner certainly didn't put many more miles on it in his 19 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
