[QUOTE="Dan SS2471, post: 17025452, member: 23632"] Another rained out weekend here so I'm bored and when you're this bored, you find old threads that you missed a year ago when you weren't this bored. So yes, according to a Marti report, there were 1,806 (this is from memory from 30 years ago) 'R' codes built in '72. My particular combo yielded 398 builds. Detuned Boss 351 as you said. It was labeled a 351 H.O. Rated at 285 HP vs 330 in '71 for the Boss. Smog boxes killed everything starting in '72. Attaching some pics of pics from 2001 when I sold it. I bought it in '93. I have an article from Mustang Times that I can't find which was a response to my question as to whether or not Ford offered the '72 R-code in BOSS 351 trim because my car was decked out that way. Looked like a '71 BOSS instead of a Mach I - which it was. Turned out a previous owner did that. I changed out the fender and deck lid emblems to MACH I at one point but the solid black treatment on the hood vs being cut away around the hood pins was still in place so I put the BOSS 351 emblems back on it. I just googled the VIN because previously it would link to the Mustang Times article, but it's gone now. The VIN is (hopefully the car is still alive) 2F05R190222. Car had medium bright yellow paint, ginger interior, 4-speed top loader with drag-pack, 3:93 gears. It obviously wasn't stock (lumpy cam) and I put a 750 double pumper on it. Running low 13s through the gears on Eagle STs....lotsa fun. I have a really good launch pic from E-town that Dave Milcarek took one night when I was there but I don't know where it is. [/QUOTE]
