Welcome from SW Louisiana. I like the center console. My 71 in high school had the same. Man……did I have some good times in that car!

Thank you, finally got out to take some pics to see what I’m getting myself into.

My Boss has the same Philco radio and gauge set. Nothing like listening to a little AM while cursing around.

Allow Minnesota to chime in, Welcome! You’ll find this forum a great source for your future project. Curiously, it almost looks like fire damage to that front fender?
Good luck on the Mach 1 project.

Wow, what a pleasant welcoming and thank you for the great advice to start tackling rust. Great to know that a 73’ fender won’t work.

What a great picture and goals, goals..

thanks to all.

I don’t know much about the Mach yet.

Welcome from Ohio - good lookin' car there.

FYI The front fender looks a lot like fire damage, I had a similar situation. Get underneath and check for soot and rust and melted rubber. i replaced my front suspension, one side was heavily burned…if you can source an original used fender that’s your best choice, the Repro I had didn’t fit well and I bought an original for about $100 and refurbished it.
I don’t know that cars history, but focus on brakes first, then getting it running. If it sat more that a few years, sediment, moisture, rust and sludge can clog up brakes, and best to replace top to bottom with new….

Welcome from SE WI and good on you for "adopting" the car to save it. By the looks of the heel hole in the floor mat you may have rescued a "sharp one owner"? Giver' the gas and keep us tuned in.
