while I can definitely appreciate the number of "flyable" Zeros, the fact remains that the only "TRUE" Zero is the one located here in SoCal at Chino, complete with the correct powerplant. I restore old Mustang cars as my other hobby and one of my pride and joys is an authentic 1970 Boss 302 Mustang. WITHOUT the correct engine, it is just another Mustang fastback with a fancy stripe on it. I will be at the the Planes of Fame show this weekend and hope to shoot a LOT of digital pics of the Zero, a lot of which will be detailed closeups of the correct Sakae powerplant. Whatever I get, I hope to share with the RCU crowd on a CD....

bosssman, what color is your Boss? Mine was Wimbleton White with blue standard interior. The only piece it didn't have was the rev-limiter. Never found one before I sold it. I also used to restore Mustangs as a hobby several years ago. My senior year in high school, I probably bought and sold 20 different Mustangs. The ones I had kept were the 70 boss, a 69 Mach I with the R code 428SCJ, a 69 Mach I that originally came with an S code 390, but I replaced it with a 427 side oiler with a 2x4bbl carbs. The best looking one I had was a 69 Mach I with a 351W 4bbl, that was black with red interior, and the red side stripe. But Alas, they are all gone now
Got married, bought a house and had kids.
