1970 Mach 1

[Juju02]

Hello I am a proud owner of a 1970 Mach 1 351C manual 4speed from CT. I stumbled on this vehicle on Craigslist a few months before I purchased it. I always go on there from time to time to see what the locals have listed and there she was. So I shot an email to this guy just for fun just bsing nothing serious I knew I couldn't afford it and I knew whatever I offered would be a joke. Fast forward a few months I get a random email from the guy saying his wife's(she was the owner) father passed away and that he needed to aggressively get rid of the vehicle. I am at a hospital reading this email with my wife and she is about to go in and get our first ultrasound of my what is now my little girl! I told the Drs. to give me a minute because I need to call this guy and see what this is all about. So I chat with the guy and he told me an unbelievable price and I was ready to purchase.......but was my pregnant wife with #2? I told her the whole situation and she was like yea go get it. I was in shock but I didn't hesitate I called my buddy I said Hey can we use your truck this weekend to go pick up a car he said absolutely. I called a local U-Haul place and asked if they had a full car trailer and they did! Everything was lining up for this to happen. Drove a total of 6 hours to pick her up and man I tell you what it was worth it. The car was fully restored 9 years ago there are a few things that need to be done to it but I have a long time to do them i.e. mag 500s, correct louvers, brake lights not working, no radio nothing crazy

I stumbled on this site just the other day and its funny at this point I have owned the car for a year and every day I open the garage I still smile. I was hoping to post on here for some advice on how to fix somethings with the car and just chat it up. I will not be getting rid of this vehicle in my lifetime and I am 34 years old!
