That's a pretty easy one to check- convertible roof, not a Mach 1, so you were correct.  :)  There were no Mach 1 convertibles made in '71 to '73.

There were a lot of 60's / early 70's cars with a factory stance favoring the front of the car. My '68 Pontiac GTO was the same way back in the day. I replaced the coil springs with factory replacements, and the car was only 12 years old at the time. The car still had a slight ready to pounce...

Mine looks like the bottom pic as well. This is a different type of measurement, but I came up with 59" across the front lip of the spoiler, and then 14" for each side on the outer lip. Decades ago I always assumed the front spoiler was part of the Mach 1 package, but then learned it was only...

With a factory 6150 rpm rev limiter, who needs a tach? lol No idea if the rev limiter actually still works, and there were replicas made which had no guts inside. What a iconic musclecar, and if it checks out in person that's not necessarily a bad price for a dealer. I love that look of no...

I'm odd man out- I always preferred the stock look with the front end a little higher. Makes the car look like it's about to pounce. Not as high as a gasser of course, but the stock ride height.

Well I now know where to find a spare block if I ever need one. lol Although I have a CJ rather than SCJ. At that price I'd imagine it will be available for quite some time. I'll use the $4200 for something else for now...

Gotta love that color combination- I am a huge fan of green. Had some great times back in the 1970's. As far as the wacky original poster- I bought a Brother multifunction unit for my home office a few years ago, and it has been the best printer I have ever used. Really sips the ink whereas...

Are the colors on it washed out, or does it have some other damage? If the colors just need refreshing, perhaps you know someone who is good at pin-striping. Someone with a steady hand could reapply the colors. I had a friend do that years ago on the side emblems of a GTO. The same guy redid...

Yes I agree, and I suppose it could have gone either way.  Doesn't seem very survivable if someone was in fact inside, but miracles can happen.  Just trying to interject a little humor, in light of your recent purchase.

I spoke with the owner of Classic Car Garage in Greenville, Michigan a little bit ago. Those pics being used by the scammer are from when they had the car listed on eBay. He said it was sold to a person in Texas for $40K (he was going from memory), and the person had it shipped there for a...

Are you already looking for another yellow car? :)

Did a little more digging on the web. That one picture above shows a building with "www.Arrow-Swift.com" on the side. I went to their site and they are located in Greenville, Michigan. Certainly explains the piles of snow in the pics. I brought up their address on Google Maps and searched...

Good, more pictures to run through Google Image search to see if these pics are on other sites. Even if it were an H code 351 in that condition it would go for more than $15K. 429 SCJ is a Holy Grail car of the '71 to '73 Mustangs. Well arguably along with B351 and 429 CJ. There is a little...

Your car has always looked darker than 1971 Grabber Green in all of the pics you have posted. It's still a beautiful car regardless, and I wouldn't consider something as bold as having the car completely repainted. It's really hard to tell with pics on the internet. In the direct sunlight...

The biggest red flag I see is the price of $15,000, as in US dollars? If this were a true numbers-matching 1971 Mach 1 429 SCJ with 4 speed, I'd expect the price to be triple the asking price at a classic car dealer. This is a blue chip US musclecar and from the limited pictures available on...

So then basically the only type of lift where this doesn't come into play is a drive-on storage type of lift, correct? I guess it would even be an issue when using a floor jack in the front. I'd have to think that many thousands of people could have potentially damaged their bushings without...

It's a bit humorous (but also a shame) regarding the car cover. It's like saying a car for sale is "garage kept" (since yesterday).

Ah yes, why didn't I think of that, especially after watching your videos.  lol  Back in the early 1980's I had a crazy friend with a '71 Chevelle who just loved doing burnouts, did them everywhere.  Did beautiful large figure 8 burnouts in the back parking lot.  He may have invented drifting...

Looks fantastic- what did you end up using on the rear quarters? I trust then you have located a great place there for tire mounting. I have one place I trust fairly close to where I live, and they have done European alloy wheel tire mounting for decades, so they are very careful with all...

Wow, this car sounds like a beast! Do you have any official quarter mile times and trap speeds?
