    This has got to be one of the strangest optioned cars I've seen

    There are no fender emblems either, so it probably has reproduction fenders, and a reproduction hood would explain no holes for the hood locks. I'm not knocking it for reproduction metal, though. I'd rather have new than original loaded with bondo and rust repair. They could have drilled the...

    This has got to be one of the strangest optioned cars I've seen

    Check this out. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1972-ford-mustang-38/#comments-anchor A base "non Mach I" 72 sportsroof with factory Ram Air, rear spoiler, and a half vinyl roof in red with Mach I interior appointments. I have always heard of 72s and 73s with factory Ram Air, but I have...

    Did anyone see this? Another hack job at Mecum goes for $51,500!

    Yeah, I thought I might have been a little extreme after calling it a hack job. It still is probably way nicer then that Grabber Green "429" car we've been talking about. Like many pointed out, it looks like it needs a lot of "little things." I still can't get over the dash presentation because...

    Did anyone see this? Another hack job at Mecum goes for $51,500!

    https://www.mecum.com/lots/1108019/1971-ford-mustang-mach-1-fastback/?aa_id=539244-0 Proof that a pretty paint job will sell any car. I bet the car was horrible in person. Look at the oil gauge with the missing pointer and the corrosion on the radio bezel. And it is an H code with no A/C or...

    I think he can relist it for free if the winning bidder did not go through with the sale.

    What are the +/- of a Pertronix Ignitor II vs I?

    I'm not an expert on this, but I had the same problem with my tach under-reading, and I was told to connect NOTHING (like the choke) to the positive side of the coil. When I disconnected the choke lead from the positive side of the coil and ran it to the alternator wire my tach worked fine. Read...

    Actually Pat, I had forgotten about his comments to me. Thanks for reminding me. I change my mind back. He is a jerk and I have no sympathy for his situation and I hope he burns in the dumpster fire with that car, lol.

    It's baaaaccckkkkk!

    I hate to say it, but my opinion of this guy's situation is starting to soften a little bit. I don't think he had a clue what he was buying at Mecum. In all fairness, as long as he doesn't remove the fenders, he should still be able to claim plausible deniability regarding the numbers. He didn't...

    It's baaaaccckkkkk!

    Hey Pat. That is a wild story! Can you provide more info? I've never heard of anything like that. Did the state police cut the shock towers or did they make him do it? Did the police see different VIN numbers or had the originals been swapped? Do you think it makes a difference what state you...

    Do I save it? 71 vert 351-4v ramair

    Good idea about the Uhaul trailer Chris, but the timing isn't right for me to load up with sheet metal parts right now. I'm looking at buying another building for storage but it will be six months before I have things up and running.

    It's baaaaccckkkkk!

    $31,600 is still too much to pay for this car. I'd say it's worth $24,500 at best as a driver.

    No, but that's a great idea!

    Do I save it? 71 vert 351-4v ramair

    Hey Chris. I too ordered the rear frame rails with torque boxes for one of my projects over a year ago from TF but as I recall they came from "Mustang America." They took longer to come in than I wanted, but they made it in about a month and fit fine. That was during the pandemic when things...

    Chris, I'm sure one day you will find that SCJ carcass and put it back on the road just like your 71 red/red/ Mcode vert!

    It's baaaaccckkkkk!

    The dead giveaway is the back seat belt mounts coming out through the rear 1/4 trim panel. We all know that was a 72 and 73 item. There are so many things wrong with this car it has to be a rebody. The only thing from the original car is the dash VIN. Period. There's no way they took the time to...
