Hey there everyone I decided to finally post up an introduction thread. As you can tell from the title I am merely an observer at this point in time. My father owns a 71 Mustang Mach 1 in lovely blue and silver. I have been scouring craigslist often to find a decent Mustang to get into to begin my collection. I am located in South Dakota and will be going (back) to the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology soon for ME.

Now that the slight introduction is done, I have my first question. Can I just rip a vinyl top off a sportroof and it will look just like a regular fastback style? I have come across a vinly top sportroof. I wish to own something that is not a Mach 1 at this time because I would like to restomod my ride instead of keeping it stock.

Thanks and hello again!

Oh also if you have any links or videos of restomoded 71-73 mustangs I'd like to see them!

 
Welcome.

I would not let a vinyl top detour you from making a purchase. Vinyl tops were options on more than just fastbacks. Other than filling some trim holes it will look like a Mach 1 after the top is gone.

Keep us posted as to how your search goes.

 
Welcome from coastal Alabama!

Be careful. When you pull the vinyl off you may find rust! I would keep an open mind toward the Mach 1s b/c they can be modded just like the 02 codes (sports roof models). Good luck with your search. Keep us posted.
