1973 Mach 1 from South-Germany says Hello!

[timachone]

@Jim:

What a nice surprise - you spent over 9 years in the "Schwobaländle" and you come every year back for a little while? Very cool! Yes, that "Schwäbisch" can rub off on your painstakingly trainend "Hochdeutsch", hahaha Cool story of the failed Defense Language Institute, I like it

I drive every day to Stuttgart, Bad Cannstatt, for work and there I have a few friends.

Perhaps we could meet each other once if you were in Germany the next time, so you could see my Stang in reality! You are heartily invited to us ::welcome::

@Tim

Hey "doppelganger" cool, another Tim, with another Gold Glow :heart: Very very nice, I see, oh yeah! You have the original small Vinyl-Top, too! Thank you for the warm welcome and the appreciation

I like this community board by now!

Happy greetings,

Tim

Welcome from TriCities, WA. Nice ride.

Welcome from Virginia. I see your seats have the comfort weave! Do you know the build date?

 

[timachone]

Hi, thank you

Nice, clean and original looking car you have...

Yes, it was on April 25, 1973 - thirteen days behind schedule. They are Code GF, the Ginger Sebring Knit/Levant/Corinthian Vinyl Bucket Seats.

Cheers

Tim

Welcome from western Tennessee! ::welcome::

I really like that raspberry, but I also like the gold glow. Ah heck, I like pretty much any shiny paint on a 71-73 Mustang.

Welcome from Phoenix AZ! Yeah, I like the current color but LOVE what you plan on doing with it.

 

[timachone]

Hey guys,

I love to see so much encouragement by you for my car and my plans with him, so I will go on with it, thanx

Cheers

Tim

Tim,

We usually visit Germany in March or April, I'll shoot you a pm once we have a date set and if it works out we can meet up next year, that would be great.

Let me know too. Maybe we can arrange a small gathering of euro Mustang nuts.

Howdy from Augschburg. Another Southerner here. Half "Schwab half Bavarian I have the same car! Not a T5 but a Export Mustang Mach 1 Q code 4 Speed

Glad u will get rid of that gay wheels and color. Seems 80% of all american classics in Germany ride on thoses 4x4 el cheapo crap wheels. gold and Magnums rule!!

See this thread for my Stang:

[timachone]

Hahaha, cool

Nice to meet you here! I saw that car in your post a few days ago so you have bought it now? Is it in your hands now? What's your resumee?

Yes, I'm glad too - here is a picture which shows his future look exactly how I want it:



Must only find a good painter in the south, that give him his original shine back...

Cheers

[WILDCAT '65]

Yes it is in my hands for quite a while, it is really unbelieveable original exept for the paint. The floors are really rust free! No welding was done. But I have too many projects and other cars that I have bought, so I have to let it go. A guy who has a Pantera wants the engine, but I don't want this to be parted out. I need somebody who really apreciates a cool and rare car like that. But most people are so stupid. If u know somebody. 8k will take it, which is very fair!

A friend of mine has a paint shop. He paints a lot of old cars.

[timachone]

Oh, that's too bad you had to let him go... Sounds like a really good base!

I will keep that in mind, if somebody wants to have such a good project car! I will ask a little around...

So you friend is experienced by doing something like I plan to do with mine - stripping the outer bodywork, sanding and paintwork? I am searching on some good adresses at the moment for the winter half to let this do from an experienced painter. Depending from my new garage which I am looking for at the moment I could do some pre-work like stripping the hoods, bumbers etc. maybe. But sanding and preparing for paintwork I would entrust the pro...

Cheers

Tim

Welcome aboard from SE Michigan..

 

[timachone]

Thank you, Gravy...

 

[WILDCAT '65]

Yes, he is good. He is also into old american cars. Just call him and say hi from Johnny and tell him that u need the right color for 73 Mustang and what else u need. Cheers
