Hi All
I live in outback Australia and recently picked up a incomplete 72 fastback in very poor condition. Its left hand drive and needs a lot of work but the original 351 Clevo and C4 seem ok!

Welcome to the site Pete. I am not sure I have ever seen a left hand drive Mach 1 but I am confident I have seen plenty in poor condition! Will you be dong the restoration yourself?

Welcome Pete I wonder how you found a left hand drive over there? Well It might take some getting used to. Mustang Mike I can see the wheels are turning, all Mustang's are left hand drive, where we come from! It's ok we all slip from time to time. Welcome Pete and jump in anytime lots of info and good people. Are you going to restore it, or make her your own? JTS 71 Mach1

What was I thinking As soon as I heard, left hand drive, I assumed it was on the opposite side. Now I question myself as to whether my car is put together correctly...left right, right left!

Okay...let me correct myself. I have seen plenty of left hand drive Mach 1's in poor condition but never seen a right hand drive!

By the way Mike - I sat in Peter Winn's Mach 1 which is being converted to RHD. .

I'm afraid my car makes that one look good
Anyway Hi Guys and Thanks for the great welcome.
I live in Yarraman Queensland and will probably post the odd pic as I go about building her.
I have already made a bit of a blue and bought what turns out to be a 73 mach 1 front bumper not a 72 and will not fit my grill
that little error is what brought me to you guys
Pete

Hey M1FF he is closer to me than he is to you
Pete I am down in the Lockyer Valley if you are ever down this way. At least I know where I can find a front bumper if I ever need one.
