Hello
new member in Folsom CA
Just bought our dream car. Blue with white stripes 05M code car running good and strong but still needs plenty. We're looking forward to making her a cae we can always be proud to be in though certainly not a show car. We'll be looking for various parts not the least of which will be a urethane front spoiler.

Welcome to the site! Looks great! Looks like you need the poly front bumper as well. Good luck to you hope we can help you out here. Don't be shy!
Welcome.

Nice looking ride.

Congrats and the car looks nice
Someone suggested changing the front bumper.
I would say leave it alone as the urathane bumper might be hard to fit.
The RH fender looks like it is a 73 and the lip by the bumper would be too tight for the urathane one.
I think Don is correct about the fender being a 73. The 71/72 urethane bumper is very close to the same shape and size as the chrome bumper therefore the fit will probably appear the same as what you have now.

Your car looks great the way it is!

The "slight" front bumper change for 73 (and by slight I mean slight of hand Naughty) reaps havoc on newbies. If I am correct, it changed the fenders, grille dimensions, headlight boxes, hood latch support, bumper mounting and even the fender extension trim. My car is a 73 and when searching for fenders I was sold a set that were listed as 71-73 when in reality they were 71-72. I returned them and got lucky enough to find a set of mint OEM fenders.
Welcome to the site...I like the car just the way it is! It brings back memories from high school as my best friend had the exact car, and still does.

It sounds like you are already getting excellent advice from the members here which is well worth the cost of the membership. Oops, I forgot it is free. Enjoy the site!
Welcome
Nice ride. What is the interior like? Sound system?
Geez looks like I'm late to the party. Oh well Welcome, what do you think of your new found pride and joy. Is this your first Mach1? Mustang? Ford? Give us all the dirty details. Enjoy JTS 71 Mach1
