Clearly, this is a great idea: This is the main reason I came to this forum in the first place...looking for the 'correct' factory info concerning details about our cars.
Since these cars are currently relegated to typical 'used-car' status by most owners, it seems that there are a lot of people interested in modifying them for better performance.
There isn't a lot of repect yet for the factory effort made to develop these cars in the first place, and with every modification made to another SC, that is just one less 'authentic' classic SC that remains to uphold the legend, if there ever is going to be one.
This car is a relative unknown and underappreciated vehicle, which is the perfect recipe for future collectibilty.
It is always the cars that no one thought would amount to much that turn in the high-priced colector cars...simply becuase most of them end up abused to death.
A restoration forum is the place where the anal retentive guys like me can get and share the info that makes little or no difference to the 'modification' crowd, but all the difference to the real die-hard collectors.
I was a champion of the 71-73 'big-body Mustangs LONG before anyone thought they would ever amount to anything. Consequently, I am fairly well known as an authority on those particular Mustangs now, so I get a lot of mail on them.
The probelm with catering to the 'modification' crowd is that they are not particularly loyal to any one kind of car...they just latch onto whatever is cheap and easy to modify at the time.
Novas, Falcons, Vegas, Pintos, and bunches of others have all suffered terrible fates in the quest for cheap and easy platforms to build upon, sending most of them to the grave before natural attrition would do so.
This restoration forum will help to jump-start the 'preservation' mode deperatly needed for these awesome cars.
I say "Do It!"
