- '71 Mustang Mach 1 M-code "Soylent Green"
'69 Plymouth Valiant 100
'68 Plymouth Satellite
Seeing as I haven't really had the time to get back to my '71 and button the back end up (and I seem to catch the never-ending office cold every weekend to prevent me from doing so), I'm seriously considering parting with the car. That, and there's a cinema camera on eBay that I most definitely want, and may assist me in the job market.
That said, following is a whole thread (about 1-1/2 years worth) on the car here:

And following is a quick summary - hopefully I remember everything here:
The good:
- 351C and C6 operating perfectly @ 103k. Starts on a dime, no valve noise at all. Never rebuilt, to my knowledge, and definitely NEVER touched by some yahoo that thinks every engine needs as many cheap chrome Edelbrock doo-dads on it as possible (or a huge thumping cam that will be eaten up in 30 minutes due to someone forgetting the break-in lube). Engine is all original except for Summit 600CFM carb and later 400-style water outlet to allow for a Duraspark distributor to be installed.
- Original floor pans are phenomenal, as I recall, only one dime-sized hole.
- NOS taillight panel included
- Original
- Decent replacement dual exhaust, if rusty from sitting (but by no means thin or ready to rot through) with Flowmaster Series 40 mufflers installed.
- Proper 14x7" sport trim rings (all four + spare) and deep hub caps (only 3)
- Spare Mach 1-spec 14x7" rim in trunk, plus additional 14x7" from another one of my parts cars.
The stuff you will need to address:
- Cowl hat - like 90% of Mustangs of this era, the lower cowl needs to be patched up.
- You will need to strip the cheap spray primer off the trunk floor and other areas, and respray it with epoxy.
- You will have to install the taillight panel and finish up a few welds around the trunk floor
- Paint - the roof will need it.
- Lead joints on the upper A-pillars need to be addressed. Nothing major - easy fix when you're doing the cowl.
- Dent on front right fender
$7,000 cash is what I'm looking for. Car is in Miami, Florida.
Let me know; PM if interested.
