- 1973 Grande daily driver
351C 2V/AT
1973 Mach 1 project
351C 2V/AT
I've been into classic cars in general since I was 15, drooling over my mom's 1979 Z28, which I eventually owned and drove throughout high school.
Currently I supervise a polishing department for Orthopedic Implants at a corporation. I spent most of my teen and adult life working in custom chrome restoration and still have family in it. I learned how to identify classic cars by their chrome parts, since that was what I saw the most of.
I've had a few old cars throughout the years and then Spring of 2013 I traded my relatively boring and practical 2003 Eclipse for a 1973 Mustang Grande. I have been driving and fixing it since then, and things weren't too serious; it was just a fun classic muscle car to romp around in. It is still my daily driver until there is too much snow on the ground. Then the 99 F150 will take over.
Fast forward to now, and I stumble upon a great deal on an aborted 73 Mach 1 project. The C-list ad was vague and I assumed it was a coupe, just hoping it had a better body than my Grande, which has some nasty rear frame rust. Upon requisition of the Mach which happens to have very nice rear frame rails, I realized I was too far into 71-73 Mustang fever and had no other choice but to join this forum. I know I can make quick cash selling the Mach 1 in parts, but I really want to build it. I've always loved the ridiculously impractical fastback roofline of these 71-73 Mustangs.
