Just got an E-mail confirming that my one owner 1973 Mach 1 has been picked to be part of the 50th. Birthday of the, what they are calling, 'Big Horse Mustangs, 1971 - 1973". It will be located in Building T.
I have to have the car there on June 2 2021 and the actual public showing is June 4 - 6, 2021.
So maybe some of the members in the area can get together and meet for real. I am on the list now to get the Covid vaccine since I have Emphysema I am at high risk and will be 73 in March.
So will see if Dr. can take care of my back surgery ASAP. Did not want to do unless I had the vaccine.
Was also due to be at the PITS, Ponies in the Smokies event in March but will not go if no vaccine. It was part of inside display there also. Then to the Mustang Owner's Museum for National Mustang Day, but again if no vaccine not going.
Now I need and enclosed trailer.
The reason the car was picked is that it is a one owner survivor and when I ordered pretty much picked every option. With the one's added at dealership it has 41 options from Ford, the most so far located. There have been two others show up with one less option on the Marti. When Marti did the Elite report he had to leave two options off. He had never had a car that needed two pages to display and claimed he could not do a two page report. The window sticker is two pages, dealer invoice two pages and the factory invoice is two pages but Marti is just one. I also have the original order form all on a display that will be with the car.
Most on here know the car but here is a video when I was driving it into the MOM, Mustang Owner's Museum, in Concord, N.C. for the grand opening. Marti saw the car there and I got Gale Halderman to sign a copy of the window sticker.
The car had not been started in 37 years until that morning and has the factory exhaust and did not smoke and ran fine.
It was two years ago when I took the car apart detailed and put back together did not restore just replaced safety items in brakes and fuel systems. It has not had running water on it in 39 years now. I just wipe off with wrung out micro fiber towels no soap. Has not been buffed and waxed only two times in 39 years. Washing and waxing a car will destroy the paint. For sure not perfect but originals never will be. Lots of defects in paint from factory.
