Just bought and starting a restoration on a 1969 Coupe. Where do I find the build sheet? thanks.

[andrewmp6]

should be taped to the wiring harness under the dash if not stuck in the seat springs or could be gone or if its read able at all.If your door tags still there a marti report is close to one.

Andrewmp6, would the same likely build sheet location be true for a 1970 Mach 1? The door sticker on mine is almost illegible and I sure would like a build sheet.

[andrewmp6]

Should be taped on the dash wiring harness or stuck under something in the interior.I know on a 71 i found one stuffed in the seat springs so it could be anywhere in there.But its a 40 year old piece of paper it might not be legible but its worth a shot.

[Irishking]

Thanks for that info. Now I need to get the back seat out of my Mach 1 to check there first.

Could be under the rug or sound deadner too, just depends on where the particular worker who pulled it off the car decided to do with it. Some cases they were thrown away and weren't left in the car.

Marti Autoworks car remake the sticker for you with the original info too if you want a new one for your drivers door.

My paper door tag is pretty worn and much of the good info on the bottom one third is not legible except for things such as Color ('D'), Body etc. Can Marti make a new reliable door tag without all the exact original tag info including Trim, Axles, etc. data?

All Marti needs is the vin number. I got the Marti report for my Cobra and found it really interesting, lots of info on it that is not on the door data plate.

Thanks Dave. I just placed an order with Marti for a Deluxe Report based on the VIN number and also ordered a new metal door data code tag. I am excited now waiting to get them.

do you know how long it usually takes Marti?

[Wsovonick]

It took about 10 days for Marti to send me my report and my "Eminger" Invoice I ordered for my 69 Mach 1.

[Irishking]

Wsovonick, sorry but what exactly is an 'Eminger' invoice..something like the original factory window sticker? Does that also show the dealer the car went to?

10 days isn't bad at all.

[Wsovonick]

You're right, it's the factory invoice that was kept on file by Ford. According to Marti, Lois Eminger used to work for Ford and when she learned that these documents were about to be destroyed by the company, she asked for, and was allowed to keep them (I'm not sure she had to pay Ford for them). She eventually sold them to Marti, who makes the original document available to those of us that can prove ownership of our particualr Mustang. I think it's great to have a something that accurately documents what your car did/didn't have when it rolled out of the factory. Marti has a list of the invoices that are available.

Here's the link to the Eminger story at the Marti site:
