Good evening Mustang fans!
Lifelong Blue Oval guy here - started with my first vehicle ever - 1967 Ford F-100. Since then, I have owned a 1986 SVO Mustang, 1988 Bronco, F-350, and a whole host of F-150’s. I also have a 1974 Bronco that was purchased new by my father-in-law and my wife drove during her high school years. The Bronco is not currently operational and is waiting on me to pull the trigger on a frame-off restoration.
About a year ago, I picked up a 1971 Mach 1 from auction - its a factory 351C/4-speed car, but a previous owner swapped out the Cleveland for a 429.
Since I got it, I have replaced the entire suspension, steering, ignition and upgraded to 17” Magnum 500. I also have a rear disc brake conversion that I have not yet installed. Once that is done, I have plans for some interior improvements and then we should be ready to cruise! Slow going since I am not yet retired and only work on my vehicles when time allows!
Looking forward to picking up some pointers and insights from the membership.

Plan to stick with the original black/gray. TMI sells new skins that match the factory pattern - will try to keep the original buckets and replace the foam and vinyl.
I will post pictures when I get it done.

According to the door plate, it is a factory black exterior with black knit vinyl interior. Previous owner repainted it about 5 years ago - I just need to add the Mach 1 stripe down the sides.

I have not ordered a Marti report for it yet, was looking at that last night while watching football.
