Had this car in shop a while back has anyone see this #3 stamp  before  or have any idea why ford would have  done this?
Some where some one is driving their collector car for the last time but they don't know it . Drive your car every time like it could be the last memory of it .

First thought would be that Ford/Metuchen didn't do that.  Can't think of a purpose for having stamps that size at the plant. Possibly some one playing around later in life. Don't recall ever seeing a similar stamp on a 69 or other year NJ car in the unibody
