953 nut

March 2, 1966, in Dearborn, Michigan, the Ford Motor Company celebrates the production of its 1 millionth Mustang, a white convertible. The sporty, affordable vehicle was officially launched two years earlier, on April 17, 1964, at the World’s Fair in Flushing Meadows, New York. That same day, the new car debuted in Ford showrooms across America; almost immediately, buyers snapped up nearly 22,000 of them. More than 400,000 Mustangs were sold within that first year, exceeding sales expectations.

Yep, a Falcon with a pretty face..... Just about all 6 cylinder drivetrain & suspension parts are derived from its more utilitarian cousin.

I replaced a bunch of upper ball joints on the trio - the Falcon, Mustang and Fairlanes.

On a side note - my son bought a 35th Aniversary model - nothing but annoying issues with it. We called it the "Mustake" :ROTF:
