OK, here's one you will probably have to Google to get!

US Pantera GTS cars (made in 1973-74) were only available in 3 colors. Name them.

2. What is different between a US 2001 Bullitt and a Canadian 2001 Bullitt?

Alright here goes,

In 1970, how many colors/types of vinal roof were avail. on the Mustang and what were they?

******
No sale on the Panteras, he knows what he has.

As for the speed of answer, I used to work for the printing company that printed Mustang Monthly and all of it's pulications (Recognition guide, fact books, restore, paint guides etc. and have copies (somtimes several) of each one. So I don't have to "google" just hit the books. Been a Mustang guy since 1969 when my uncle pulls in the drive with a brand new GT500 FB. Ah... venom's first bite!

I don't think it was only offered on Grande models. I think it was standard on Grandes, but available on plain coupes as well. There are also some documented cases of dealer installed vinyl tops on fastbacks! (Very ugly)

Okay,

They were officially only avail. on Coupe (HT) and Grande, Full Roof On the HT or Grande models and the "Landau" style was only avail. on the Grande.

FBs - yes but NOT from factory THANK GAWD! U-G-L-Y is right!

Colors,

1. Black Levant
2. White Levant
3. Saddle Kiwi (Thats the brown)
4.
5.

We are still missing two options for color type, and they were about as ugly as a vinal topped fastback! Good job so far.

Well, my first Mustang was a '69 coupe that was light green with a darker green vinyl top, so let's try green as one of the last two colors?

And maybe dark blue as the last?

OK, in 1970 an RPM Rev limiter came on all Boss cars. It also came on one other engine in a Mustang. What was the engine and what was the RPM it was limited to?

That was the 428 SCJ with Drag Pack option. If I remember correctly RPM was for @ 5800 RPM. (It happened to me once!) Now remember that it was for manual transmissioned cars only. But if I recall I think they were also installed on 428 CJ's with Manual.
