    Nice find :D Now sold that at eBay to someone interested in vintage F-stuff. There's plenty of those.

    Yep, looks like an original battery to me.

    What year and model is your car?

    Wow, you mean the battery was never replaced since car was new?

    I have the same battery when I purchased my F430. I thought you found it locally (in the GTA). I may need to replace it soon since it's getting weaker and would like to go with an OE battery.
    Where are you located?

    Well the dealership in Toronto tells me that they are using Interstate MT 58R so that's what I installed.. slightly smaller in size but otherwise fit in perfectly..

    Just did mine yesterday, went to the Interstate website and they said use the MTZ-34R

    Fit fine, the top bar to hold the battery down didn't lay completely but works fine when tightened down.

    Wrapped and zip tied (thank you @LorenzoR for the suggestion) the floor plate bar to keep it out of the way and avoid sparking, made for a much simpler install.

    Changed the battery on the 360, replacing it with an Odyssey AGM. Added a bluetooth battery monitor ($15 on eBay) and inserted a sheet of silicone cooking sheet ($7 on Amazon) on top of the terminals. Thanks for the shielding tip @whatheheck (Dan)!
