The requirements he gave me are that he wants it to be old school, so original style wheels, gauges, etc. I don't know if he wants it to be a 289 with a top loader 4 speed, or if any older ford V8 / trans combo will do. Must be manual trans though. He basically said to my wife, "it has to look as original as possible". He also said that he would prefer it to be registered as an '87 or older to avoid duty fees. I don't even know if that is possible, but I have no clue as to if these would be registered as the year of the original model, the engine, or the year the chassis was made. I know you all can at least answer that for me. Anyhow, any help to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
