74' XB Coupe

[97elxr6]

Hey guys,

Recently picked up a green xb coupe so thought it would be a good idea to get some feedback and thoughts. The old boys first car was a tropic gold xb coupe so intentions are a full metal resto to that spec. I'm not as experienced as many of you guys here so any tips would be great! It is an intended father son project... a very slow one.

Currently running a 351 with 4speed man.. Got the ford verification letter the other day and as with many of these coupes much has changed.

Originally

Eng- Y 302
Trans- B T-bar auto
Paint- L Mushroom Beige
Trim- S2 Saddle cloth inserts
following options: 03, 05, 06, 32, 39, 48, 56, 90, 46

It's a JG65PJ however ford tells me its a June car?

Somebody has attempted to make a GT replica out of it, as it has the black outs and added front and rear spoilers. Unfortunately it has the typical rust repaired with bog... Somewhere along the line its also lost its GS wheel and grille. Hope the purists don't have a go but we have decided to keep it a gt replica...

Just curious how many mushroom beige coupes where made as you never see that colour... must be for a reason!

I'll try get some pictures up of the worse repaired areas
