Well some of you saw my Mach 1 for sale, well due to a crappy car market, or I had it over priced, I am moving forward with finishing up my 1971 Mach 1. Thanks to Ohio Mustang, and Kentucky Mustang for the information and parts help.....

I was starting a 1972 Mach, and I had bought a 1973 for parts, but being a super duper car guy, I also found a Studebaker Wagonaire in kokomo, long story short, on the way home lost my trailer tag in a county above ours, so the sheriff stop and told me I lost my tag, and he saw the 72 & 73 sitting, and told me his sister had one in her garage, that she was dying to sell, I went and looked....and I bought it...351C, C6, PS, PB, Disc, 9", Lay down seat, Gages, Stereo, Cheapo interior, still had the stock steel wheels....so I sold the 72, and have parted out the 73 and a 71 Grande' so here is the build, the 71 was hit in 85 and they bought the parts to fix it, but never did...I have, and rebuilt a 351C, and it is in drivable shape, and I will be getting it on the road over the next 3 or 4 weeks....I have all the body work done, but I will need to save $$ for a slick black paint job, but I am putting her all together and want to drive it, and work out the bugs before I paint it.....
