    Apollo edition mustang

    I like it a lot....too bad it isn't an option available from the dealer. I'd even take one naturally aspirated. The theme is carried out very well.

    Hemmings Muscle Machines 71 SCJ Mach1

    I saw the article. (I really like the 'graph paper' data illustrations they do on some articles). I knew the SCJs were rare, but never realized that they were so rare that no magazine articles testing these monsters could be found. Prompted me to do some research on the differences between...

    What are your least favorite design features of the 71-73s?

    I actually considered purchasing the factory hockey stripe, but the more I looked at it, the more I felt it needed 'adjusting'. I knew what I wanted to change and so I mocked up paper stripes until I had what I wanted, then transferred the image to silver vinyl.....time consuming, but in the...

    What are your least favorite design features of the 71-73s?

    Thanks for the compliment Kit, it was important to me that a custom decal be tasteful and compliment the car.

    What are your least favorite design features of the 71-73s?

    I agree 4x4 about the length of the original hockey stripe. When I decided on designing a custom decal for my car, I wanted to pay homage to the original. As you can see, I've integrated more angle on the front of the stripe, to better match the edge of the front fender, then shortened and...

    On the fence...

    I certainly agree Lizzy and expressed a similar point in another, earlier thread.

    On the fence...

    I’m interested in seeing the ’73 build that Mr. Kinnan mentioned in his post. I actually feel that readers may even be interested in feature articles that highlight Mustangs that are ‘in the works’. As we all know, not everyone has, or can afford, a fully restored classic Mustang. I’d be just...

    Sounds like a cool upgrade. Good luck with the swap.

    73 Mach 1 on the cover of Mustang Monthly

    While I believe you make a bit of a point Kit, (that Mustangs will forever be compared to the original, little pony), I still have to wonder how many magazine articles about the new Mustang GT will make redundant reference to their 188.3" length and 3700+lb curb weight in comparison to the...

    What do you think of this Vert?

    Call me bias, but I like the sawblade wheels and custom side stripe. :D

    73 Mach 1 on the cover of Mustang Monthly

    On the topic of this month's cover car, I've got a pet peeve. While respect for our 71-73 cars has gotten a little better over the years, I still see that just about every article I read has to make reference to the car's weight and/or size. This month's article is no exception. Oddly enough...

    Take a Stroll Down Mach 1 Lane.

    Seen that car before and would really like to know where to get a set of the wheels pictured on the pewter Mach 1 above. Really like the look!

    73 Mach 1 on the cover of Mustang Monthly

    Not a fan of quad exhaust tips on 71-73s and the black stripe could have been better painted to match the contours better. But other than that, a good looking car for sure!

    New exhaust Updated 01-09-15 Now with videos

    Exhaust looks great, but did I read your post right? Cost for mufflers, pipes and tips was $1200! Also, what type and size wheels are you running? Great looking Mach!

    Winter sucks

    Cold here too, but lately we've had very cold but sunny days. One upside to colder weather to me is the cooler, denser air and my car loves it!

    A MeanMachine Hello

    'preciate the compliments! Over the years I've tried to make the car unique but tasteful, through a lot of trial and error. I remember back when these Mustangs were far from popular and were given very little respect. Nowadays, it's somewhat a different story. I get thumbs ups, pictures taken...

    A MeanMachine Hello

    Thanks for the warm welcome and compliments all! Will e, regarding the side stripes, they're my own creation. I wanted something different but also honored the original decal. As you can see, I shortened the stripe and tapered it into a flame. At the front, I put more of an angle to the...

    A MeanMachine Hello

    Just a quick hello and Happy New Year to fellow 71-73 Mustang owners. I've been an owner and a fan of these cars for a long time. Here's a pic of my '71 coupe, which is a never-ending project. Some quick stats: 306 ci (10:1 comp) Holley 750, Performer RPM Air Gap Comp rollers, Lunati cam...
