the owner of the Guild irritates me....I think the best car building show is Full Custom Garage.

I jus saw a 69 Torino for sale. its basically a fastback/sportsroof, but it must be bigger than a Mustang? I don't see why Ford would have built 2 models of the same size with the same motor....

I'm not saying that Fantomworks is the best, just considering how I feel about the shops based on their TV shows.... its extremely difficult to find a high quality shop that you can trust to do things right, and charge you fairly. its usually trial and error. but when you find the right shop...

its hard it is to find factory good 4sp cars. good work

that's what I am doing with my 73 Mex Mach 1. it was a barn find, no rust. it needs everything, but will never get a "restoration". I drive it until I break something, fix it, and repeat process. its dusty, looks a bit worn-out, but is getting closer and closer to reliability and being a...

some car shows have too much goofing around for my taste. If I was going to pay someone 6-figures to work on my car, I'd send it to a place that is a bit more serious. in terms of car show shops, maybe Fantomworks

yeah, I've owned everything from 2007 F250 Diesel with an 8" lift on 37's to my current 1978 F150 Ranger 4x4 with 2" lift, 90 Bronco with 6" lift on 32;s, etc I'm not into the whole "bagged" look or restoration-mod "stance". I have no problem owning a set of 4x4 wheels/tires for my Mach 1...

when in doubt, put as much rubber under the car as possible. if it doesn't fit, raise the suspension :) I was watching Gas Monkey garage last night and they were redoing Richard's Thomas Crown Affair tribute mustang. I like the look of putting larger diameter A/T tires under the car. looks...

if you are happy with an automatic, and this 71 Mach 1 is rust free and runs and drives ok, splitting hairs between 7500, 5000 or even 3500 is getting a bit crazy. good condition 71-73 Mach 1's regularly auction for 15-20k. really junk mach 1's on craigslist are easy to find at 12-15k. if...

actually, I think its more like 78% of the fun of having a Mach 1.

make sure you want an automatic and not a 4spd. for me, shifting is half the fun.

yeah, basically all I really know in terms of production numbers is that Mach 1's were only offered in 73, and there only 600 made. what I don't know is how many were 4spd, etc

on the 73 Mex Mach 1 I bought in the Spring as a barn-find, my strategy is to drive it until something breaks, then replace the parts with better-than-factory. since the car breaks regularly, I am chipping away at a mechanical restoration. My idea is to have a car that will remain rust free...

that was easy. now if someone could only tell me how many 73 Mex Mach 1's came with a 4sp.....Marti does not deal with foreign VIN's.

I will be installing 10x15 with 295/50 tires. my speedo is in kph so I run a gps speedo on the dash, so tire size doesn't matter...

Yeah, its going to be a 3.73. I have no need to drive on the freeway, so the fastest I end up going is 65, which is 10mph over the speed limit on my local roads.... I generally don't cruise at 60mph+ so I currently don't use 4th gear at all. I am also replacing the open dif with a post, and...

this will give you something to look at: https://classics.autotrader.com/classic-cars-for-sale/ford-mustang-for-sale?year_from=1971&year_to=1973&keyword=boss%20351

are you running a stock 351 block? or bored/stroked? what HP do you estimate you are making?

I will be painting new door mirrors
