just got off the line with Ford South Africa and they are unable to help me.

dude said the car was too old??

does ANYBODY know how I could find out the actual history of this car?

Then I would suggest you contact Ford Motor Company of SA, customer care department, to check their factory records. It takes a good while for them to respond, but they do. They are able to tell you the exact model, whether it was imported or built locally, the original dealer who ordered the car, ...

I'm trying to find out if it was sold originally from the factory floor as a Consul 3000 GT Coupe or a Granada Coupe

I am trying to find the history of a 1972 Ford Granada / Consul Coupe I have. The plate says Ford South Africa ... Is the a local database that anybody knows of ?

Very nice indeed :D I can imagine all the effort and cost going into your project. Please, consider to stick with normal exhaust pipe(s) exiting at the back in stead of side pipes blasting from the side of the vehicle. Just my piece of worthless personal subjective advice. Johan You will be pleased...
