    At least you’re honest about all of the flaws because you really can’t see them from a short glance. Some of us actually enjoy tinkering around and we can decide if it’s something that we can handle it or not. Honesty Appreciated!

    Around 1975, my favorite Uncle bought a '71 Mach 1, (used/mint) darker blue metallic with a white interior, same motor and nice wheels too. He only owned it for 6 months. In that time, It was STOLEN TWICE!!! The FIRST time, when he got it back, it was a all dirty inside (full of BEER cans!!) of course the ignition was popped, and outside with a couple of scrapes. He had it all fixed back mint. Then, not a month later, it was stolen a SECOND TIME, and this time the thieves got into a HIGH SPEED CHASE with the Cops, who ALMOST caught them, but they JUMPED the car OVER A WALL and GOT AWAY!!! When they finally recovered the car, the undercarriage was completely crushed, and the car was a TOTAL LOSS. My Uncle was PEEVED. He went out and bought a Volkswagen Beetle, because he thought who's gonna steal THAT!!!

    My brother had a 1971 raven black with Argent stripes mach 1 . His was a factory 351 Cleveland 4 barrel with ram air with c6 transmission and 9 inch factory rear end. Fully loaded with the decor package interior. Beautiful car. I like this one too. 😊

      @dannyv2335 yeah it's nice to dream but that car would not be for me. I couldn't afford to treat her the way she should be. I'd end up driving her into the ground. I just couldn't afford to take care of her properly. Though my best friend is a Master car restorer/ painter at Jasper cars in Vancouver, Canada. Nothing's free though.

      @dannyv2335 Yes, it's a nice dream. I couldn't afford to take care of her properly. Though my best friend is a Master car restorer/painter at Jasper cars in Vancouver. You should see his personal Ford fairlane fastback he has almost finished. Hundreds and hundreds of hours And an unbelievable amount of cash into this car. wowzers It's going to be something to behold. No, it won't be restored per se But will be a completely modernized stealth bullet.

    I remember the first time sitting in the backseat of my parents' car while my dad was driving, I spotted this same car, except with the silver on the hood, side and spoiler, parked diagonally across someone's yard, for sale for $2500. That was in the mid 80s.
    My dad promised to get me "something like that" to drive for high school (which he never delivered on), and ever since I dreamed of this car (Mach 1s in general).
    Part of the reason he never delivered is he just didn't have enough money at the time, and every time he thought he might have enough, prices just kept climbing and climbing. And they kept climbing until we have what we have today.

    Ok, so realistically, it's gonna need quarter panels and outer wheelhouses. But at $23,900 for a real Mach 1? 100% worth it! This is the kind of car that's worth putting money into, because you're not paying $50K for it. And that Grabber Blue paint is amazing

    In 10th grade in Dallas I had a '73 Mercury Cougar "Eliminator" in turquoise blue with white interior, 351CI. It was a p.o.s. and I didn't have know-how, nor money, to fix it. Still a cool rare car if it was here.

    I would want to see the door tag to verify this is a Mach1 for this price. Should be a body code 63R. I suspect it is 63D which would be a plain sports roof. Still would make a nice driver just need to know what you are getting.

  • @1notgilty
    @1notgilty 4 дні тому +3

    I love the Mach 1's. This one looks like it was originally red and was repainted blue. The rear quarters and bottoms of the doors and rocker panels also look like they are filled with bondo that is now cracking instead of cutting out the rust and welding in new steel. The trunk also looks like it has been extensively patched and sealed with something that looks like JB Weld that has been spray painted over with flat black to hide the repairs. The good news is that the engine sounds good and the frame and drive train look good with no visible breaks, cracks or oil leaks. Nick is honest and the price is probably about right if you don't mind doing some much-needed body work and a good paint job that will probably cost between ten to twenty thousand dollars, depending on how much rot and rust are hidden under the bondo and paint.

    Very nice for a 54 year old car. You just have to expect a few issues. It's a shame about the paint bubbles because it looks like a very nice paint job, however somebody got to a point and just shot the paint and skipped the tac rag wipe. In the truck it looks like a panel behind the seat also folds into the truck to give solid area when seats are folded forward for larger items, never seen that before ( edit, I just looked at pics on the site, yes that middle panel of back seat for pass through does fold down in trunk for pass through of longer items). Huh, even the clock works.

  • @over-there

    1970 Mach One, from factory has a M on the window vin ID,, the M stood for modified, had bolt down hood, big block, 10 1/2 to 1 compression ratio, 3/4 race cam,, coke can intake valves, 5 mpg fuel economy, 0 to 60 in 2 seconds. Seats were contoured low bucket seats to hold you in, cant touch the dash in acceleration. Only one other car could compete, 1968 Z28 Camero, it would be faster out the gate but the Mach One would catch it and pass it at about 3 seconds around 80 mph, runs over 200 mph easy. No where to drive a car like that any more. I think Chiltons rated it at about 400 hp, back then, thats changed twice or three times, today it would be rated around 1500 to 2000 hp, they dont measure it the same as then.. On the back had 36 inch tall tires by 16 width, could smoke them both at 60 mph. Cant let anyone test drive these, never touch the accelerator like a regular car, barely touch it and youve shot over a hundred feet and 40 mph in a half second, well maybe a second, its so fast cant time that. It will pin you to the back of the seat, Scare you. Dont wreck it. They are also hard to find.

  • @markjg2275
    @markjg2275 4 дні тому

    This is a nice daily driver type of car left as is, however if you want it nicer you need to get it repainted and new metal panel work on the lower body areas, or the rust will just get worse. The headliner should be repaired too or leave as is as a daily driver. Body work and paint is very expensive unless you can do that yourself.
