I've heard you can make a functional staggered shock set up pretty easily using 1 maverick shock perch & welding a bar across the top for a mount? Not gonna look right but hey its hid underneath. I bet its still got 351 front springs in it. But the aluminum heads & no air help with that I bet.

Thanks guys the only reason I thought it might be a VIN swapped car was the lack of the seat belt light. I was under the wrong impression that all 72s had it. I am now thinking the car is exactly what he says it is. It does have the bright strips, no hockey sticks, but a black paint on hood with...

Thanks

Not original engine or tranny according too dealer. Rear axle might be?

My 2 biggest downsides for me is its a slush box & it don't have staggered shocks. I'm a old gear grabber. I bought my first new slush box pickup last year only because Ram doesn't offer it with a stick anymore. I'd rather have had a F-150 but they don't offer a stick anymore either & I'm ex...

Yea he's asking top $. Don't mean he's gonna get it 🤔

Anybody know why some Mach 1s have the metal trim dividing body color & black on rockers? Is that a 71 thing?

No help with the steering wheel, its got one of those wood aftermarket wheels. The gas cap of course is closed in the pics. The reason I don't post pics is I'm an old man who is a clutz with computers. I don't know how. Not sure if I understand about the grill.

Its got the flip open gas cap. The reason I was sceptical was the no seat belt light.

Thanks that makes sense, I'll look back over the photos for the gas cap. So maybe I've just been paranoid

VIN on the cars dash is 2F05H144XXX so I don't think that's a super early production 72 that might have got out without the seatbelt light. I guess its always possible the factory overlooked it, but they don't usually miss this kind of " safety" stuff. My understanding is they have built over...

Thanks, oh I forgot too mention casting codes on the engine, tranny & rear won't help identify this car, they state all are non orginal. They might be wrong though, if they are basing that on the VIN, which I suspect is wrong. But I don't think this dealer really knows much about the car. Seems...

About 10 years ago I had another shot @ buying 1 that the guy had blown the 351 in & had installed a 289 in it, I was going to buy it if he could track down the blown engine, he never got back with me.

I've often kicked my own a$$ over not buying one I found @ Yadkin valley Ford in Wilkesboro, NC. About 77, I had an immaculate 70 Boss 302 @ the time so knew a little about Boss mustangs. I thought they only made Boss 351s in 71 but here was a 72, this 1 was a blue 02 R code. I think Grabber...

I'm currently looking @ photos of supposedly a 72 H code Mach 1. I'm seriously interested but cautious about buying the car, its by no means cheap & appears to be a very nice car, but I'm suspicious that's its really a 71 02 fastback that's been made into a Mach 1 including the VIN plate & title...

My Dad was Dobe Powell, in case you knew him.

The important thing for an R code in my book is the engine. And this 1 still has its original engine.

You know sometimes something is rare because no one wants that crap. Well maybe except for you. Me & CC have a long history. My first one was a 70 Cyclone. But Mercury calls it Competition Orange. My last one was a 2018 Challenger. But Dodge calls it Go Mango. No matter the name its all the same...

If I buy it, my object is too recreate a car I once had. My current daily driver is a Built to serve edition 2021Ram 1500 in Tank Green (Olive Drab without the drab). Its a special edition marketed to retired miltary personnel. I also have a green jeep. Green is perfect for pickups & jeeps. For...
