I’ve seen on a few post here that others have used Bernstein shocks, however I can’t find a model number that fits my 71 Mach1 351-4v.(pretty much stock).  Would rather have the hydraulic type if they make them.  Koni’s would work too.    john  

Hi and welcome from another North Carolinian.  Kinda crazy that I just watched the video of your car yesterday.  Cool color! john

Thanks Ron! may have to ease off the shackles 😬

Thanks for the reply. Kinda what I was thinking, good n tight… but not too tight. 

So I’m replacing leaf springs (Eaton) on my 71 Mach1 (opposing shocks with swaybar) and wondering if anyone could tell me the torque specs for the shackles and front eyebolt. Eaton gives it for the u-bolts only. tia, john 

I’ve realized that one has to be careful with all the attention these cars bring. I had someone stop traffic until I acknowledged his thumbs up (I was pumping go juice), to having another taking a picture while driving at 70mph! However my favorite story, so far, was when I bought the car and...

Jason, Hope your enjoying the ride! your picture has got me curious… horizontal running lights on a ‘73?

Trevynd and/or Mister 4x4, I'm assuming both of your louvers are the same. (looks the same) Two quick questions, if you would please. Are they aluminum or plastic? Why do they look like they are coming off the glass when they get closer to the boot? (both seem to have the same look) Thanks, john

Thanks. I think y’all convinced me! BTW - how would someone go about getting the history of a car? Previous owners, state/country it was titled in, etc. 

If you ever owned a VW bug (‘66) you knew/learned about this rag. Remember how glorious I thought it was the first time I opened it. 

Thanks for all the great info. Really glad I found this site. Keep up the great work!

Guys and gals, After seeing this forum I decided to order a deluxe report. Just received an email saying they may have my original invoice. Just wondering what are your thoughts/opinions on this. My ride is not fully original, nor will it (probably) ever be while I own it. So, my question...

Thanks for the quick reply Lazarus! Its good to know what their called. And yes, the folks selling them sure are proud of ‘em. Will have to think about how much I need them since it’s a “drive it every chance I get” car. 

Sorry it takes a while to respond, work out of town too much. But it helps pay for my toy. Anyway… here’s a pic of the above mentioned part (cracked in two pieces). It appears to be attached by a screw in top-right of photo, and two near the door hinges. (that’s the VIN tag corner in the...

Hi all, I’ve owned this 71 Mach1 (M) for about a year now. Kinda figured it would draw some attention, but wow! Never expected this much. The stories I can tell. The police really seem to like it (in a good way).

wondering if anyone knows the name of a rubber piece that sets under the top of the 1/4 panel (near the windshield)? it loos like a plug to keep water out of the panel.
