Dealer Reciept !!
I swapped an Aerostar for a '73 F100 a couple of months ago... I'd say, about the time I became a member here.
Anyway, I actually found the origional Dealer reciept to the original owner (My wifes grandfather) !
It was purchased at ERNIE FRY FORD In Bonner Springs Kansas on June 15 1973.
Sale price ... $4,651.20 (I think he got ripped off
)
This give a good list of all items on the truck ! What a cool find! along with the owners manual.

My Dealer reciept was with a bunch of papers that were in the glove box. I guess, since it wasn't sold, it was passed down after the death of my wifes grandfather(to my father-in-law) nothing was cleaned out .
Did Ford actually call the light green Seapint green ? or was there a typo on the invoice ? I thought it was Seafoam Green.
Seapint & Winter Green are the colors listed for my truck.

Great find! I was excited when I bought my pickup from the original owner and he gave me the dealer invoice, original warranty card (12mos/12,000mile!), owners manual, and even the little round replacement key tag (what you'd take to the dealer if you lost your keys). Pretty cool.

I was two when my truck was bought new by my father-in-law....couldn't find anyone to finance me! LOL
Seriously, that is very cool being the original owner & having all of the documentation to boot.

The old... relationship... lacks the Fire of finding and getting to know a new Love! kinda corny sounding.
With a "just aquired" vehicle it's easy to say ... "What are the possibilities". With a truck that you've had for 10 - 30 years you have to stop and think ... "I know what she is, but what could she become"

True 
I was Pickled Tink when I bought my FULLY documented 68 Mustang back in 1987.
The car was so original,It was a tough decision to either keep the parts on or replace them (ie: Dist.cap,Plug wires,heater hose,etc)

I found a wholesale stand alone Motorcraft parts store that just happened to have some NOS ignition parts.
I put the new parts on & saved the old stuff in a shoebox for safe keeping.
The best part of all this was, after putting all the parts on, I took a chance and drove the car 300 miles to Saskatchewan & back to Calgary the new weekend.
The engine ran like crap when I bought the car but with the new parts on it, it ran like a top. It got 25 mpg hwy,19 city.

All original goodies!
I got my 78 F-350 S/C T/S from my Grandfather earlier this year, which he bought brand new when I was 4 years old. He had EVERYTHING from the dealer in the glovebox! The dealer invoice, original warranty card, owners manual, service paperwork and even the original clear blue FORD bag which holds the Owners manual (and as it says on the bag, "Do not discard this bag...it may be used as a litter bag!) I was shocked to see these items at all, but it was even more special that they are in such great shape! Gotta love the OE items!!
