1969 Drag Pak convertible

[Bob Gaines]

I saw this car in person maybe 7-8 years ago. Its a restamped 351W car. Stay away

as in fender aprons?

-and most likely everything else. Tlea first hand observations confirms that.

Years ago there was a puff piece done I think in Mustang Monthly on Jerry's (Telestar Motors) restorations . Special Ed remembers. They showed a picture of a junk pile of misc parts and the caption bragged if Jerry couldn't find a part he needed then he just made it! hmmmmm?

Sorry to demonstrate my simple Canadian naivety, but is that not simple out and out fraud?

[Coralsnake]

People break the law everyday, you need a perpetrator, a victim and the willingness for someone to do something about it.

Here is what the 2023 Registry has on the car.
Telstar has owned the car since 2012.
Previous owner before Telstar Larry Mallon had car restoration done . Not sure what work Telstar did.
Car at that time came from Michigan.

Someone may not be happy after buying the car I would assume.

The spring shocks are a unique touch.

[Coralsnake]

I would like to see a lot more pictures 🥸

[Special Ed]

Like the dual exhaust hangers mountings and wrap around shock towers. Why would telstar even buy this car as he surely knew gt500 4-speeds had staggered shocks or not?

[Coralsnake]

He didnt know

[SCJSTU]

fun fact car was born a 4-speed then converted to automatic and painted red ( wonder what original color was)

why would you convert a SCJ 4-speed car to automatic?

automatic may explain why no staggered rear shocks but wait....

also is there a way to tell if this car has the recall done on fuel vent as stated it was done in the registry?

So guess Telstar converted back to a 4-speed

[Coralsnake]

It was a black jade car

Yes, the fuel vapor line is noted in the warranty records

[SCJSTU]

Pete, I guess my question is can you tell on this car it's the fuel vapor line recall was done to it or not that may be a telltale sign

[TLea]

Aprons had R stamped over H, no staggered shocks, wrap around towers, what would you call it?
