Found this sad but funny.

A 72 Mach1 allegedly found in a field in England having stood for 30 years.

Sad because of how bad it is, but funny when you watch the owner salvaging the engine and starting it on the garage floor - check out the video further down the advert.

Did anyone notice #1 and #2 not firing. But sure did burn the mouse beds out of the rest.

Must admit I didn't notice. I'm amazed it started after sitting that long.

No euro speedo, so AMerican transplant? I guess he has no plans on reusing the one header

Prefer everything on a Mustang to be American including Left hand drive, love the originality and think it's part of the deal.

Just goes to show how durable these V8s are.

I agree! My 71 fired right up and the 73 I'm working on did also after sitting for many years. I personally would like to have a Euro version cause it's something you never see here.

I can understand that, FastnFurious.

Can't wait to get my 302 apart, curious to see why it's siezed. these old motors can normally put up with quite a bit of abuse before they sieze.

Leather wrapped steering wheel. Nice option.

Sad looking 73!

I think I would have moved the safetly gas can a little further away from the engine!

That steering wheel, I would sin for!! I have heard of them but don't beleive I have ever seen one!!

you can make your own leather wrapped steering wheel i bought a leather kit online that fit the diameter of the ford wheel and spent about an hour sewing the the leather around the wheel. the kit came with the leather band, pre-punched holes for the thread and the thread and needle. instructions showed the thread pattern and how to finish the string tie at the end.

great for covering a cracked steering wheel., if you add foam around the wheel then cover it its even better!
