My first purchase in 1979 was a 1971 Mach one. It had been wrecked in the front, and was in need of rear qtrs already, lots of salt on the roads on Mid Missouri back then. Before I even got started on it I found a 69 Mach, 428CJ R code, and fell in love with it. Sold the 71, restored the 69. Then Marriage, Kids, Life, etc... the 69 Mach was NOT a family car so I reluctantly got rid of it. Up until 5 years ago, I always thought that I wanted now another 71-73 since I had one before, but never had it on the road. Then one day, in the middle of no where, I came upon my current 72, had to to get it!
