AboutJeff Clark Expertise I can answer most questions on vintage-car history and trivia, but there are three things I can't help with:
1) repair questions
2) "where-can-I-find-the-VIN-on-my-car?" questions
3) what's-my-car-worth questions
I'm not a mechanic, I can't know the location of every VIN plate on every vehicle ever made, and I can't appraise a vehicle I can't see.
Experience I've been a classic-car fanatic my entire life, and have spent most of my free time studying the automotive industry and its history.
Education/Credentials 25 years experience in the automotive industry.
Question Hi! I have a 64 1/2 mustang f code 260 with 3 speed this car has a tach and clock behind the steering wheel did this car come with this or was this a add on. Thanks
Answer I know it looks "bolt-on," as if it were added by an owner or a dealer, but this was available as a factory option for the early Mustangs, and was most likely added right at the plant. BUT- it was available as a dealer option as well, so it could have been an add-on. Have a Mustang expert or an old-timer at a Ford service department look at it to see if they can tell if it was factory or added later.
