Reply to "1388 interesting"

There were quite a few factory modifications that were installed on the 71 cars after they were sold. They had to track the owners down to install them so many cars were missed. Mine has quite a few of them. What is most odd is that some of them reinforce the suspension mounting points but then were never added to the later cars. As far as I can tell the later suspension mounts were never changed to make them stronger and they quit using the mount reinforcements that are on my car. The mod parts can be seen in the parts book. I’ve seen pictures of suspension mounts that were broken off the later cars and the mods would have prevented problem. Another de Tomaso mystery I guess.
