Well im not too sure how original the car is thats my biggest problem. all three of the VIN's ive pulled off of it dont match. one says that it was a 351 with a 3 speed manual with a paint color that i could not find anywhere on the body. when i got the car (a year ago in august) it had a 302 and an FMX in it. after driving to and from school for a few weeks the FMX lost 3rd and reverse so i did an AOD conversion, so i dont know how "original" it really is. thanks for the input i appreciate it
