    This has got to be one of the strangest optioned cars I've seen

    I would think yours came with the ram air due to the scheduled build date of 12/20/71 and not the actual build date of 1/12/72.

    You've done yours basically how I would like to do mine. I'm fairly new to this forum, so I still need to figure out how to navigate and search it, but I think I'll have to find your build to help come up with a cost estimate and build info. Thanks a bunch. This group has been way better than I...

    What about body pieces? Are there any reputable businesses that have decent prices, but more importantly, good quality sheet metal. Also interior items?

    How often did the dealerships install the vinyl tops? Are there any records of them for the 71s?

    Worth restoring?

    The parts car is in fair shape and I've debated in using its roof to repair the Mach 1s sunroof disaster. I like the colors that this came with from the factory. We found a 72 R-code Mach 1 about 10 years after we picked this one up that was nearly identical to this one in options (except for...

    How would you go about coming up with a realistic cost? I live in a very rural area without any shops anywhere near me. I think I can do most of the drivetrain work, but I've not done any body work.

    I'm fairly handy with the mechanical side of cars, but I've not done anything with body work, so I'd need to learn how. I would plan on trying to do as much myself as I'd be comfortable with - similar to what you did with your 73 (which turned out great from the pic). I just need to figure out...

    Worth restoring?

    I'm not very concerned with trying to sell it (I still have my first car - a 71 fastback that I bought in 81), but also don't want to throw huge amounts of money and time at a car that would not be worth anything close to what would be put into it.

    The roof is a different shade where the vinyl would have covered it, plus the vinyl is still on the A- pillar. What throws me off, is the A- pillar vinyl is green instead of the expected black that was usually on the Mach 1s.

    It came with two motors but I'm not 100% sure if either are the original (its been at least 10 years since we could see the car and 15 years since I've pulled out some of the parts that came with it)

    I would, but its under a truck tarp with 2 other mustangs and buttoned up for a long Idaho winter.

    Worth restoring?

    Trying to determine if this would be worth trying to restore these days or not. This Mach 1 has a huge hole where a sunroof used to be, and what appears to be evidence of a green 3/4 vinyl roof that wasn't on the factory ordered options (not sure if dealers installed them or not, but the dealer...
