trainman0978 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 We had a '73 mach 1 for several years when I was growing up. We sold it when I was 14, on account of my parents insurance told them to either remove the car from the policy, or remove my brother from the policy, or the insure policy would be canceled entirely,.... on account of my brother having three wrecks with in the first year of driving. My father and I started on that car with it running and drive able, basically a rolling restoration. We rebuilt every part of it, restored the body, the suspension rolling gear, driveline, motor, trans, brand new interior, all original from the various mustang supply houses around the states... I miss that car so much. We had the ram air, the hood pins, a 351 Cleveland , c6 tranny ( I think ) ... Me and dad were talking about it a while back. He hunted around for a 68 but could not find what he wanted, and started looking into the big ponies ... He found our car in jacksonville, FL. and he said it had every option you could get inside and out, the thruster rims and A/C , auto, all the options. Ours was originally yellow as well, but the guy he bought it from owned a el-cheapo spray bake type body shop and he tossed a coat of red on it to sell it quick....We had already cut in all the body panels and door jambs back yellow just before we sold it. some dude in the military bought it, and he took it back to montana or somewhere. It was actually kinda cool , the buyers dad and brother both had 73 mach 1 mustangs, with very similar option lists... so the car went to a good owner. Sorry for the thread jack.

korey_hofer Posted November 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 It's funny you mentioned that cause my dad says he knows a guy who owns a 429scj torino I have never seen it but I love those engines my horse power goal is relatively low for this car (around 500) and should be pretty easy to do with any of those motors Quote previously known as wenn_du_weinst aka fucking internet coward supreme.

trainman0978 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I love these cars, and I guess there has to be some hot rods out there too.... I prefer showroom original, no matter how it came equipped. just me though. By all means, keep going, no matter how long it takes. the satisfaction of taking a car from what you have now to drivable and show worthy is so rewarding. After that car was sold, I built my mom a 1970 VW when I was in my early 20s , and it was in worse shape than your car is now. It took best of show twice after I finished it in 2004. The internal reward and personal sense of satisfaction for me is unforgettable. Quote 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser Voo Doo Blue my upgrades and "build" thread.
