I looked this up and my records show it was considered "Pumice" or "Champagne" for the exterior.
With all that rain you have had last year and this winter... all kinds of crap is going to start showing up... Like Volkswagen's from the early 1960 hippie retreats...Sinkhole at work .. started as a small indent in the asphalt pavement that dropped down about 6 feet. When they dug it up, this pipe underground was rusted out along the side. They have no idea where this pipe goes or came from ..
Another unsolved mystery from the Native American burial ground site ..

the thing about flood areas is they deposit silt. So when you dig deep enough to not find rocks, you start digging up bodies. All of the rocks on this site were imported; except for the river stones the natives used to line ceremonial pits ( fancy way of saying old BBQ ) 
We thought they were great to support our underground sewer pipes with until the archeologists told us they were special rocks. They wanted to save them so we started making a pile .. the pile got so big they don't know what to do with all of these rocks.
My '96 T-Bird is all original and very low miles and the factory carpeted floor mats in it has none at all. Just grey carpet.
My '96 T-Bird came with 4 floor mats too... matches the carpet color and thickness. I put clear vinyl mats over them to keep them looking new and reduce wear.I'm pretty sure Lazarus came with 4 floor mats, as an option on the window sticker.They're in a box in the basement, with the trunk carpet.
Can you still get a marti report?
And that is ONE nice T-Bird too. You should be proud.
Thanks! I've had a 94, 95 and 97 previously and I love my '96. Very proud. Especially of the old fella who originally bought it in South Carolina and took REALLY good care of it and only drove it to Nascar races down there. Other than that it lived in a garage under a car cover. I could tell it was his pride and joy.
You're piecing things together to add a centri to make that 500hp nicely
I was thinking stroker. Nostalgically speaking I remember that intake on every other “5.0” mustang when I was a subscriber to Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords
He drives by now, to share the carnage; he really hates mustangs.
A savvy marketplace watcher could piece together a centri setup cheaper. I'd prefer a stroker, which is why I'm building one, but the good thing is he could swap in a donor motor and go back to business versus spending another $6k on a short block. I'm assuming $12k on my 347.
FD comp cars have 900-1200 HP. Further I get into this, the more power I'm gonna need. Won't be able to keep the 302 forever but for now it's cheaper.
As long as it's rotating assembly is balanced and has a decent set of pistons, you won't have an issue. Tons of 347 out there with no issues.
I'm not worried about the assembly coming apart, I'm worried about blowby and burning oil
Lumbar as the only power option? That's got to be rare
Its a 95 cougar my sons buddy bought off another local member.
Actually all 93-95 cougars came with lumbar standard, part of the appeasement for combining the previously high lux XR7 package and LS package together, and without the power passenger seat that particular side is more common than not for the model in that year range. Mercury dropped lumbar in 96-97(minus the 30th anny)
