1971 Mach 1 Mustang
Hi guys, Hope you don't mind me jumping onto this thread. But I am trying to get a bit of background on a 71 Sportsroof/ Mach 1 that I am restoring here in Australia . I was told by the guy I bought the car off that it is a Mach 1 but I only have the Consecutive unit number which is - 1F164603 to go by. Found this number under the front LHS & RHS fenders adjacent to the shock towers . Unfortunately I don't have the door tags on the car so it rather limits investigation. Is there any way that you can get some history on this car with just this number ?
The car has a 351 2v Cleveland in it which came from an Australian ZD Ford Fairlane ( going by its engine number ) and it has the color coded front bumper etc like the Mach 1's have.
I've looked at the Marti reports website and it appears that you need the full VIN number for a car, like 1F05M148920 to get a proper report. This particular complete number I've quoted ( 1F05M148920 ) is the one that is on the metal dash panel that I have with the car -where it appears through the bottom left hand corner of the windscreen. However, I don't really believe this is the original dash panel for the car as the number doesn't line up with the numbers under the fenders at all.
Any tips are welcome,
Thanks, Dave
