I know these aren't 71-73, but still thought I would share the pics. I happened to be up Pikes Peak this weekend and ran across these 2 cars. the coupe may be a 65 or so, the fast back looks like a 69-70.  the fastback was a full on restoration-mod.  I was driving a cheap rental car, and only...

when I put in my new crate motor, I adding new after market gauges to replace the OEM ones in the console. no way I am going to trust my investment to idiot lights.

you think finding out facts about your cars is hard, I have a 73 Mexican Mach 1, assembled in Mexico City. only 300 reported to have been built. crazy as it sounds, I have all the *original* dealer paperwork from Mexico City, but that still creates mysteries like: the dealer invoice shows Air...

at least my new wiper blades worked....for 10 seconds until they stopped working. I think the new rubber increased drag, which blew a fuse, or the motor, or a relay...I have no idea. driving in the rain was ok above 45mph because I had Rainex on the windshield and the wind blew the beads away...

don't change the stance. the wheel size is great.

I have to pick 5? when I bought my 73 Mex Mach 1 last year, it was basically a survivor, that had just barely survived. no rust, but almost no maintenance. pretty much the car was unsafe at any speed including parked. my first repairs were things that were Major issues: blew a hole in the...

wow. I hadn't checked this thread in a few days...it sure went sideways. I've listed cars on BaT, so I'm used to all kinds of comments... I haven't drive the car yet at night, but I expect the lights to be good. in the past, I've spent 3x on LED headlights, so these inexpensive ones off Ebay...

I dropped the front end of my car and raised the rear. the improvement in handling is like night and day

I install LEDs in all my classic cars so I can see. its not a style thing.

I had an extra dongle that I could have connected to the indicator lights so the outer ring of the headlight would blink. I don't care for that "feature", so I didn't connect it. I think it also could have been connected to parking lights, but I opted not to do that as well. what I do need to...

I had to ask myself the same question this past Fall when I wanted more power. I have a 73 Mexican Mach 1, of which only 300 were made. prob far fewer with the 4spd and factory AC like mine. anyway, I knew I wanted 500-600hp. I could have the stock motor built, or I could get a crate motor. I...

finally got the LED's installed. they are the inexpensive Ebay ones, work great.  it was raining when I took the pics, but you get the idea. next up: windshield wipers. autozone claims to have them in stock. we will see.....

I also suggest checking fuses. the OEM fuse panel is prone to corrosion and the old glass fuses don't last forever...

thanks guys

yes 4spd. I'll check the lights. thx

found it today hanging down below the car. the plug was hanging right around where the H is in my exhaust, around the middle/front of the door.  car is running fine.  these cars are so low I can't get under the car until this weekend when I can raise it up. thanks

another vid cruising at about 65mph. I can't get over just how good this car is to drive now after a year of work.  I've have replace/upgraded most of the driveline, steering, suspension etc.  at 65mph there is not a single vibration and the car tracks dead straight.  the car is not nearly...

the issue with the tune was the idle set wrong, adjusting the idle with vacuum gauges boosted the vacuum from 10lbs to 16lbs, and the car is running great now
