295s yup. the motor has less than 100 miles on it, so I have not pushed it. burnouts will be coming soon. its not washed, but you can see how the stance is very different now.  it drives to much better now

WOW! just drove the Mach 1 for the first time with the new motor, suspension changes, headers etc. this car is fast !!! I only used 30% throttle at red lights and its blowing away new cars. the performance, ride quality and sound are a world better than last fall. the car is now truly...

hey, any visibility that our 71-73 cars get in mainstream media is great .

has a 71-73 Mustang ever won anything when competing against 69-70 Mustangs, Camaros, Mopar, etc, or the "holy grail" tri-5 chevy's or any year corvette?

I've been rebuilding my 73 for the past 4 months. its nearly done. Its sent out right now for alignment. hopefully I have it by Wednesday and can take some pics. my recent pics are all "build" pics, not really car show pics

at the end of this weeks episode of Driven on Discovery, they showed a preview for next week.  Joey L. has commissioned a rest-mod Mach 1.  from the commercial, it appeared to be a 71-73, but they only flashed the front end and I'm not entirely sure.  would be cool if it is. everyone does high...

thanks guys. I ordered the ones off of Ebay. I can use the $250 savings to add shelby style round aux lights now....as soon as I can figure out how to mount them to the grill.

has anyone installed a set of replacement headlights like this? or have a batter recommendation. I want to replace the entire light bucket, not the bulb...

yeah, I figure my Mex Mach 1 is worth at least $100k because its such low production. we all know that rarity = valuable....just look at the price of a rust-free AMC Eagle !

I have not found any definitive source of info on Mexican built mustangs from 71-73. the info out there is either anecdotal or first hand experience.  you cannot get a Marti report on foreign VIN's.  I have a 73 Mex Mach 1. I happen to heave the original paperwork including dealer invoice etc...

I have a 73 Mex Mach 1.  I've never seen another one for sale.  I stumbled across this 72 Mex Shelby today.  I have no interest in the car, I just thought it was interesting because its the only Mex 71-73 I have ever seen for sale...

its not the best video, but you get the idea

stance is fixed. you can't see the slapper bars in the pics but they are on.

I think I will raise the rear with shackles and add slappers while I'm at it. the front will get drop spindles if I can find them. I think thats better than trying to just use lowering springs.

here's a pic of the stance right now. the back needs to come up and the front needs to come down. I don't like the pounce/squat look.  does anyone have any tips on raising the rear and dropping the nose?  new leafs in the back and lower springs in front? thanks

so last summer I spent a lot of time thinking about what I was going to do for new power in the car.  rebuild the 351, swap the 306 from my Bronco, swap the 545 from my 78 F150, etc.  I made the decision to buy a new 418 crate motor from Engine Factory. its 525hp with a custom cam that will...

I would never run an accessory load directly off the fuse block. I use the keyed-fuse to connect to a relay. almost no amp draw.

thats the post I used. because I was adding a number of accessories, I added a 3 circuit Aux fuse panel, using the keyed-on fuse ( + to battery). adding accessories to these old style panels is something I don't like, so I add the extra fuse box

problem solved. I added a positive jumper between the 2-way and 3-way switch. I'll just leave the 3-way in the driving lights position, and the 2-way toggle turns on/off. wiring a switch to a switch is prob not how a pro would do it, but it works

so this is not the way I planned it. the lights have a 3-way switch, the panel I want to use has a series of 2 way switches. my test bed here is my Bronco, so I can get it figured out before i do something similar in the mustang. the lights are working properly off the small oval 3-way, but I...
