Title: I'm inclined to believe this restoration is a goof-up of epic proportions "SMOG"
Post by: Qikbbstang on January 15, 2017, 03:58:23 PM
They had at least three claimed "STOCK" 68-1/2,  "1 of 50" Lightweight MUSTANG's at Mecum, Florida


The first two look breathtaking in their engine bay's,  both were SOLD at $200,000 and $245,000:

THEN you have one claimed to be Dave Lyall's that NO SALE'd
68-1/2 lightweight complete with smog-system and who knows what else commonly found on "stock" Mustang's.

Is there anyway any 1-50's ever were delivered with smog?............................
   What else is incorrect?...............................

I don't think it should have the smog stuff on it as its a purpose built race car.Also whats with the windshield washer bottle and hoses..The caution fan decal is incorrect as well I believe..
