- 1973 Mustang Mach 1 351 Cleveland
Hello I’m Andrew. My dad worked hard to save up $600 when he was 13 and bought a 1973 Mustang Mach 1. A couple years later he bought a 1970 Mach 1. My grandfather took the 73 made it his own. Later he traded my uncle for an old ford f1. My uncle had it for a few years and gave it to my cousin. My cousin didn’t do anything with it. It just sat there and got in kinda rough shape. He fell on hard times and put it up for sale. I could not let the car my dad bought when he was 13 that has been in the family for 40 years leave the family. I’ve wanted this car since I was old enough to walk. And now it’s mine. I’m not very knowledgeable when it comes to cars but I’m doing anything I can to learn. My hopes are to get this ole girl back to her former glory. The body is in decent shape interior is in great shape. The 351c under the hood is not in bad shape necessarily but as of right now turns over but doesn’t fire. Just bought a new battery. Was told it needs a new fuel pump but I’m not really sure about that. She’s been sitting for a while so I’m figuring some fuel cleaner a change of all fluids is a good place to start. Looking for suggestions. Thanks in advance. The green picture is when my dad first bought it the red is the car now.
