- 1971 Mach 1 Hcode in grabber green metallic
Hi everyone. My name is Steven and I just bought a 1971 mach 1 about a month back. Ive been lurking on here for a few weeks and finally decided to join, really looks like theres alot of knowledge here.I have been doing restoration work for the past 7 years and finally pulled the trigger on a personal one to build with my father. Neither of us are getting any younger and we figured no better time than now.ANYWAYS onto the car.It is an original H code Mach 1 in grabber green metallic and will more than likely be going back that color.im still waiting on my marti report for the car but here is where things get interesting, the car has a hurst equipped 4speed.supposively only 1 351c 2v was ever built with a 4speed so my guess is the car was originally a 3speed and converted but I don't know because there was no door data plate on the car when I purchased it.but I have been tearing the car apart getting it ready for the mediablast and I swear the trans looks like it came in the car. The shifter is very aged meaning the whole assembly has been on there for many years from what it looks also the trans still has the original blue paint flaking off.is it possible this car could of been ordered this way or done at a dealer or has it for certain been converted? I guess ill find out in a week or so im just impatient.it definately has my curiosity up
