Please note that a significant price increase is coming September 1, 2010. Due to the very expensive nature of storing these millions of paper invoices and the various government agencies that have decided to "solve" their budget problems by DRASTICALLY increasing the property taxes of where these invoices are stored, prices will be going up. This is known as a "hidden tax" and is a consequence of the "hope and change" this country wanted. Please do not complain to this company if you don't like it. Talk to your representatives and senators and/or VOTE. And I encourage you to vote for people that will spend our money wisely, not like the Republicans and Democrats who have been playing games for decades.
Lois Eminger worked for Ford Motor Company. Being a car person herself, she wisely asked that she be able to keep batches of invoices that Ford was preparing to destroy. These invoices included some of the most popular cars of the 60s and 70s. Marti Auto Works has now purchased these invoices and is making them available to rightful owners of cars. View Sample.
We only have what is in the following list. No other invoices are available, so please don't ask. If we knew of anyone that had them, we'd tell you. If your car is not on the list below, but it is a 67-79 model, consider one of our VIN Reports.
If you happen to be a 55-57 Thunderbird owner, please contact the Classic Thunderbird Club International at CTCI as they may be able to help you with those year invoices. After all, they are the reason Lois started all of this. We all fondly remember her as the "Pink Lady" and she had a beautiful Dusk Rose 57 Thunderbird.
These are the original documents that were used by Ford for billing to the dealer. They contain the complete option list and, generally, the wholesale and retail costs of the base vehicle, all options, and shipping. The original dealer the vehicle was shipped to is also included on the invoice along with the trim code, date the invoice was prepared, and several other items.
In rare cases, the original invoice may have been sold previously. A copy would be available. We will contact you to see if you want a copy should this apply to you.
Invoices will be shipped priority mail with delivery confirmation. Please note with the increasing value of these cars that many of these vehicles are now no longer just fun, vintage cars. Some of these vehicles are becoming part of Automotive History. As such, the paperwork becomes an important part of that history. If you purchase any paperwork, please use adequate care to preserve it for posterity. Some day, Ken Burns IV may be doing a special on your car and it would be nice to provide him with the original sales invoice for the sake of filming (or holographing)!
