Thanks to everyone for their help and advice.

I decided to order a McLeod Clutch, PP & T/O Bearing from PI Motorsports which came to ~ $360.

I'm still trying to find a good shop to get the work done.

Btw, my car is SN 4119. The story I'm told is that its one of 8 European spec 72 GTS's that were imported as a special exemption in 74. Its showing 70K kilometers and all the gauges are in Italian. It looks to have the factory fender flares etc. I don't know if the story is true but it seems to hang together.

I was also told informally that all 8 cars went to execs within Ford Motor Company. Some prelim research after my purchase (in Texas) indicated that the original owner was a chap by the name of Dominick Vermet. The registration was in Detroit and it seems that he was an employee of Ford at the time. I intend to contact him and hopefully get a little more insight on the history of the car.

Thanks again to everyone for all the help !
