Thanks Lake. Yep that is typically what they did, run the 351W off the line until they were gone and then phased in the Cleveland's. I have actually seen more 70 Mach 1's with Clevelands than I have with Windsors. Actually sounds like the car is a viable ride to do a drive and go to the cruise ins type of ride. Yes the 124606 is its sequential assembly line number. Just for the heck of it you should try to get a Marti report on it. That will tell you how much it may or may not have changed over the years. If it were mine, I would fix the body and interior as best I could within what my budget would allow, including a new paint job. Recam the engine a bit, put a 4 bbl carb on it and a set of headers and be done with it. Are those Magnum 500 wheels on it? Don't change them, LOL. If they are, are they the 14" wheels or the 15" wheels? If they are the 14's, check them to make sure they are the Ford Magnums and not the Mopar Magnums. Typically the Mopar Magnums are all 14" in diameter and 6" wide while the Fords are 14" X 7" or 15" X 7" or 8" (rare). I had Magnums on the 65 Notchback I used to own. Like I alluded to, I know the first gen cars inside and out. If you want any advise on how to do something on the suspension or whatever else just hit me up. I tend to do suspensions with handling in mind, I am an avid autocrosser and was at one time when I owned the 65 the South Carolina region SCCA C/P Champion.
