I'm included in the 1970 Marlboro Maroon Convertible club. Mine is just a no option ZQ3 though.

That is BEAUTIFUL! I had chrome Hookers on mine back in the day. We also put them on my friend Bill's (RIP) brand-new '71 LT. His girlfriend Eva (how would I remember that after 50 years?) burned her leg getting out of his car. Her father decided to file suit against Bill for injuring his daughter (?!). That was kind of the end of that relationship. We have a place in Naples. You are on the "right coast? It would be so cool to have a Marlboro ('67 & '70) Maroon club. bob

Kinda rare option as only 475 of the 6648 convertibles had them in 1970.

I bought a 99 point MCA Boss '9 Mustang from an obsessive Ford engineer a long time ago. He sold it because he grew weary of the vagaries of the judging system. I didn't show it and hardly drove it. I sold it to an obsessive friend of his after I owned it for 35 years and attended a show last year to witness it being judged. The judges still argue over what is "stock" and "correct". When my LT was judged in 2010 they did not know the harnesses were an option, and until now, neither did I. Bob
