New Mustang Guy

Hello everyone. So glad to find this forum, just for those of us who dig 71-73 Mustangs (I like big ponies and I cannot lie). My name is Mike. I am currently in Okinawa, Japan but will be returning Stateside (Los Angeles) next month. In the process of buying a 1972 Mach 1 CJ and hope to have it shipped from PA to CA when I arrive. Looking forward to communicating with you all!

Thanks! I lived in Tacoma for 6 years (1986-1992) when I was stationed at McChord AFB. Will definitely post pics of the car as soon as I can.

Thanks! Will definitely post pics as soon as I can. I have seen a couple of what I think were 65 or 66s here in Okinawa, but not 71/73s. But there is a Japanese magazine dedicated to American muscle cars and I have seen pictures of 71/73s in the pages.

Welcome from Arkansas...enjoy the forum

Welcome from Tennessee.

I put my hand over my heart for you and all of our service members!

Thanks everyone for the great welcome!

Unfortunately the deal for my 1972 Mach 1 CJ fell through. My credit union wanted a "written appraisal on company letterhead from a reputable appraiser of the car's value" before issuing the draft and the seller sort of got pissed. I guess I will have to find my 71-73 Mach 1 when I get to California.

Whereabouts here in California are you going to end up? I know of at least one 72 Mach 1 that was for sale not far from me here a bit ago, and there's quite a few for sale down in the LA area if you know where to look and have some patience!

Don't you fret, we'll get you in a Mustang yet!
