WTF? I have Posi?
Bone stock 69 grande mustang coupe. Thought id check if I had positraction... ya know power to both the wheels. Did a burn out and sure enough 2 burnout marks. I didn't know stock mustangs had posi. The original owner didn't do anything to this car so I know he didn't add it. How does this affect the worth of my vehicle?

some did some didnt affect the value not significantly but it is nice if you have the original door tag you can find out if its original to the car www.mustangdecoder.com

Just as an FYI sometimes non-trac lok cars can leave 2 marks but it is usually only when you leave short marks.
I think the easiest way to be sure that I know about (aside from dissassebly) is to just put it up stands and turn the rear tire by hand on one side. If they turn the same direction you have a lock device of some sort installed.

It is a posi, doesn't matter the maker. It is an industry accepted term, get over it.

RE: WTF? I have Posi?
I subscribe to a few Mustang magazines, and they refer to a limited-slip type of differential as a "posi" all the time. Maybe because it's easier to say than trac-lock or maybe because everyone with any automotive knowledge knows what a "posi" is and some may not know what a trac-lock is. Granted, Ford did a great job on the design of the 9" as evidenced by the fact that many GM and Mopar muscle cars use them as replacements for their maker's design. But, it's not necessarily the differential that they want, it's the housing. Most I read about use an aftermarket differential in their 9" housing.
