- 72 Mach 1, Q code 351CJ, 4 speed.
After 30 Year's I am a 72 Mach 1 owner again! I have a lot to learn and relearn about Fords. My first car was a 72 base Mach 1 pulled from a honeysuckle patch in Great Falls, SC. I loved that car but it had way too much work to be done and at 16 there wasn't near enough money
Yesterday I bought what I think is a true unmolested survivor! It is a 1 of 1 72 Q code 351CJ 4-speed. It is only a 1 of 1 due to the color combo but I am afraid that color will have to go.
I have built a 71 corvette from the ground up including paint, auto to 5 speed conversion, built and stroked 454. I have the experience and knowledge to tackle everything on this car. I doubt I will do the finish paint this time but will do body work and prep. Luckily there is very little rust and no major dents or dings. I will be asking a lot of questions about the 351cj. I want to rebuild and build it up a little from what it was original.
A few questions I have now are:
What vendors do you all recommend?
What is the best assembly manual and place to buy?
CD or hard copy manual. Which is best?
I look forward to hearing everyone's comments and advice as well as learning from you all and hope to contribute at times.
