    Taking kids out for a ride in my 1971 Mach 1 429 SCJ

    Tried many times uploading the video of my ride with the the kids, but each time I tried to insert it into the post, nothing happened. After 4-5 attempts to insert the video, I gave up. Have no idea why it will not upload.

    Taking kids out for a ride in my 1971 Mach 1 429 SCJ

          A good friend of mine visited us from western North Carolina and brought his 6 kids with him. They wanted a ride in the pony car. But you'd never guess what they liked the most: not the throaty sound of the 429 SCJ, or the Grabber Blue paint, or the...

    Bottoming Out

    To cure my 1971 Mach 1 SCJ from bottoming out so easily, I removed the leaf springs and installed a new set of springs, bushings, and bolts from Eaton Springs in Detroit. The car does ride a bit stiffer, but still seems to bottom out in rear way too easily. New shocks installed a year or so ago...

    Would you buy a 71-73 again?

    Would I buy my current 1971 Mach 1, J Code, Ram Air, 429 SCJ, 4.11.1, again? I bought it completely disassembled, just a mere shell, with a 1000 parts, including motor, tranny, driverline, stored in a container. The Mach 1 had been off the road since 1975. The original owner was killed. It took...

    Headers for a 429 CJ/SCJ

    Since I am unable to locate a passenger side exhaust manifold for my 429 SCJ (the original was repaired years ago and done incorrectly; welder said it could not be repaired to last), I'm thinking of using a set of headers. Found a set that will fit at Summit. Does anyone here have experience...

    Someone had a bad day today, I saw a damaged 71-73 on highway 580 (San Fransisco East Bay)

    Lost their driver side front wheel. Wonder how that happened? Stud failure?

    160k Mach1

    Thanks Geoff. I added one feature to that particular Mach 1 that was entirely unique. Instead of having the Ram Air flappers open up by putting the pedal to the metal, I added a manual operated cable, attached to a knob (identical to the light switch knob) below the dash; so I could pull on the...

    160k Mach1

    I restored a 1971 Mach 1 in Grabber Lime some years ago--every nut and bolt: rebuilt the 351-4v M Code, C-6 tranny, and repainted the entire car. It had functional 3-spoke rim blow steering wheel, black deluxe interior, Ram Air, AC, full console, roll down rear windows, 650 Holley, Magnum 500's...

    1971 351C Power Steering

    As Stanglover correctly noted,  normal driving did not require the extra power steering cooler. But with a high winding 429 SCJ, built for the drag strip, I have to use type F transmission fluid in the power steering system (due to the anti-boiling ingredients in it) as well as the longer hose...
