Here's some recent pictures of my '74 Mark IV . I broke my own rules when I bought this car over eBay in January sight unseen. But with Barry's encouragement I forged ahead. Luckily I'm ok with it. I've got $8k in the car and the only thing left to do is change out the carb and timing set. I could leave that alone, but I understand I can pick up a few extra horses with another timing set, and the motorcraft carb has a flakey auto choke. I had to replace the vinyl top, right side exhaust manifold (thanks Jack) new tires, and steering linkage. As long as I had the exhaust manifold job I went to dual exhaust mod. Duals were standard on California cars but weren't even offered as an option elsewhere. I think the end tips look mean. Has a nice low rumble sound at low speed but quiets down at high speed. Oh yes, I have to find an A/C shop with old F12 freon. The compressor works but the cooling is slight.
