Hello, very happy we found this site. My husband & I recently bought a 1971 Mach 1.
1971 Mach1
4-speed AOD Auto (tranny changed)
Engine hi prof 351 Cleveland trick flow alum heads , comp cam 280h (need to take his word can't see), 4 dbl barrel Edelbrock Abs2 Crab (need to take air cleaner off to verify), dual plane alum intake (need to verify), roller rockers (can't tell), forged pistons (can't tell)
Original Ram Air NASA hood
Rear louvers
unfortunately I think we didn't got the car represented. We literally just received the car tonight.
The seller didn't disclose rust (bumper, trunk, trunk lid, one rim I could see, passenger lock doesn't work, door jams are multicolored, yellow paint had white fade marks, looks like spray paint on the car's cowling, seems like there's Bondo around the rear wheel welds. not sure will look tomorrow, but it seems like parts of the doors are missing. Vinyl not genuine leather. Its amazing how you can see yellow spray paint. we will do a more extensive overview tomorrow.
The VIN seems go match Mach 1, but there aren't matching numbers.
Our concerns & questions please. how do we verify this is a genuine Mach 1? Regarding what we already know above, of that what diminishes the value?
Any suggestions, impute and advise is greatly appreciated.
Mario & Phyl
