1971 Mach 1 M-code C6, Oct 9, 1970 build date

This is my favorite Mach 1 in the corral but unfortunately it is pretty rusty due to spending most of its time in the northeast with their salted roads in the winter. The body is solid but it needs cowl, floors, radiator support, battery apron and right rear frame rail but one day this car will be my daily driver.

It came with my favorite options from the factory. Adding A/C and an overdrive (probably a 4R70W or possibly a five-speed) will make it perfect.

The factory Ram Air, Tu-tone hood and a color change to medium blue metallic will compliment a white sport interior. Front and rear spoiler, rear window slats but no hockey stripes (didn't have them from the factory) with either dog dish and 15" trim rings on steelies or 17" wheels similar to the Cragars that's on it now will complete the package for a nice, clean look.

I can see why it's your favorite.

Nice car to have waiting in the wings Don...wish I had more space as I would have some cars stacked up as well.

Hi Don-

Kind of new here, but not to the Mustangs. I just picked up a 1 of 1 71 sportsroof that oddly enough, was built the same day and same plant as your car. My vin ends with 23495. Couldn't be too far apart.

Don, I have a stripped - but repaired roughly in one spot - radiator support. Let me know if you'd like to swing by and look at it when you're down here in Miami.

Don, how do we know what date they started building our models?
