Welcome.
That is quite the story and will make for a memorial lifetime ownership of the car.
Enjoy the site.

Don't know how much you paid but it sure looks to be worth it. One very good looking Mach1. Way to go. Ask any and all questions. Good people and lots of info, so jump right in. Welcome

When I tell you I was fortunate I mean I was really fortunate to have everything line up like that. In the beginning I thought it was a Craigslist scam......like I said there are few minor issues with it that I will post on the other parts of the forum but thats where the fun starts. I appreciate the warm welcome it is nice to have a spot of our own to talk about a very specific model in American History!

Nice car. It's in one of the better colors Ford offered. When you get some time, research the accessory drive brackets for the front of the engine. The alternator is typically on the passenger side. Power steering pumps and air conditioner compressors are in the area where your alternator is.
If you like Magnum 500 wheels, Legendary Wheel has some nice looking aluminum versions at reasonable prices for an aluminum wheel. They have the correct offset, backspacing, etc. for these cars. Scott Drake also carries the aluminum Magnum 500 wheel by Legendary Wheel.

Good catch on the alternator being on the wrong side. I had to back to the pics to see, and darned if you ain't right. it sure looks funny on that side .

In juju02's other thread about vin codes, the H indicates this car originally had a 351 Windsor 2 barrel engine. Possibly, when somebody did the swap to a 351 Cleveland they didn't have the correct assessory drive brackets for it. Which is why the alternator ended up where it is.

I thought the H code was for the 351W for the 1969 and the H code in the 1970 was a 351C
