Getting it back on the road

PADave · May 14, 2015

Welcome from coastal Alabama. Nice looking car. Are those 15" stock wheels? That is a really cool look.

The fist pic is with magnum 500s. The car now has the original 14" trim rings and hub caps. I like the look and you don't see them anymore.

Welcome to the site. Where in Pa are you from?? Im located about 1hr north of Pittsburgh, near Slippery Rock. That's a very nice looking mach1 you have there........looks really familiar! Looks like the twin to mine!

Nice car, your paint is much nicer than mine

I'm over near Lancaster

Welcome. 1972 Q Code, light pewter metallic. You've got the desirable car for sure. Best wishes in restoration back to new. We've got rats here as well. They love chewy foods!

Welcome from Michigan! Very nice looking Q code. Would like to see more pics of engine bay if you have them.

Here is a couple engine pics before I put it away. Needs a good cleaning now to get it back.

Mice also will manage to get under the console and store food there. I don't know how, but I've seen it on several cars.

Shame on you for neglecting that beautiful car. As your penance you should be forced to drive an AMC Spirit for a month!

Welcome to the site. Hopefully the wiring damage won't be to extensive.

There was a nest and food under the console. There was also a nest behind the back interior quarter panel.

The most interesting thing was the exhaust. It was all the way up to the engine. I pulled the pipes off the manifolds and dumped out a mix of bird seed, insulation and dog food, lots of it.
