Does anyone know for sure which numbered fuse in the 1971 Mach 1 fuse panel governs the two horns? The photo from my 1971 Car Shop Manual, Volume Three, Electrical, 34-30-02, does not indicate any fuse for the horn.

Welcome to another fellow Canadian! Where in Ontario are you located?

Today is 19December. On 19th of December 1924, the final copy of the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost was sold. Today, it is valued at £37 million. The RR Silver Ghost was the origin of Rolls-Royce’s claim of making the “best car in the world” – a phrase that was originally coined by Autocar magazine in...

Thanks for posting this video. Restored to perfection. Wish the 302 motor would have been ready to start up. Next time, maybe.

Thanks for posting.

I use a classic car (a 1979 Ford Thunderbird) as a daily driver, and drive my 1971 Mach 1 429 SCJ, 2-3 times per week. So, consequently, I have had to find non-ethanol fuel for both. Wawa sells ethanol-free fuel for my 1979 Thunderbird. But I found a local oil company that sells 101 octane...

Looking forward to seeing that Grabber Lime on wheels for the first time! Well done!

The best I've seen! Fantastic job! Better looking than new!

Congrats. Looks to be in great shape. The 351-C 4v is good motor, plenty of power to spare! All the best in bringing it back to its factory glory.

Does anyone have a diagram or picture of the various locations where the body-bushings on the 1971 Mach 1 are located? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Well done! How many years did it take to bring it to completion?

This Gold-Glow, 1972 Mach 1, Q Code, 351-4v, 37,000 miles, one of my former ponies, is quite similar: but this one did have the 1/2 black vinyl top, along with Hurst 4-speed, Black deluxe interior, AC, etc.

Your restorations are worth every penny you ask. No one better or takes it more seriously in the 71-73 business than you, Kevin. Perhaps, waiting for the right person who has an eye for quality work will spot your low-mileage pony and pull the trigger?

I live in mid-Pinellas County. I have two classic Fords. 1979 Thunderbird, daily driver; and 1971 Mach 1 Mustang, 429 SCJ. Both my carburetors (Holley 750 in the Mach 1) were rebuilt by a specialist known to Tony at Will's Starter and Alternator Shop. Tony sent them out to be rebuilt and they...

Thanks for the question. I mis-spoke on the car cover for my 1971 Mach 1, which is stored indoors only. I use the one pictured from CarCovers.com. Much cheaper than Cover-craft versions. Easy to put on and take off. Keeps all dust off the car. Shields car from all moisture and water, but it is...
