1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1 with 460 engine, C6 automatic gearbox.
Hello everyone!

I bought my dream car last week, a yellow 1973 Mach 1! I've been in love with this car since I watched the original Gone In 60 Seconds movie from 1974. Former owners to my car have replaced the engine with a 460. Unfortunately the Ram Air have been removed. I am completely new to Mustangs so I have lots of things to learn!

The car is in pretty good condition, nothing compared to my old Celica Supra Mk2 that's a rust bucket! The only thing I have to sort out right now is electrical issues for instrument lights, courtesy lights, power windows, buzzers etc. A former owner have installed an aftermarket stereo and tampered with the wiring. I will have to take a look at that as well as replace some bad wiring to the turn signals. I also have to do someting with the exhaust as it's hanging very low. I am almost unable to go over speed bumps and almost got stuck last week trying to park it in the garage. Therefore I must park it outside until I get access to a new garage 1st of December. Winter is comming...

Sorry for the bad attached picture, I can post better pictures at a later time if anyone is interested. Also, sorry for any misspelled english.

Best regards

Thomas

Welcome from West Texas! Nice lookin' car! ::thumb::

They removed the Ram Air plenum because the 460 takes up more room than the original 351 Cleveland.
