Hi Y'all,
Just found this group...glad to be part of the Mach 1 family. Just purchased a 1973 H-Code Mach 1 last week and have been doing some research on what's out there...
This is a locally owned car and I'm the 3rd owner... It has 46,861 miles on it and looks to be in great shape. Is been sitting in a garage until 2001 with the original owner. His son then had it for a while and then the guy I got it from last week had it for about a year and is been sitting. Engine sounds great. Rear drive shaft cause it to shake a little, but otherwise, seems to be mechanically and cosmetically pretty good.
Even have the original title to the car (the 2nd owner kept the original title) and all the paperwork including the window sticker...wish Mustangs still cost this much today :-)
Spent a day cleaning the engine and interior...and will start to tackle it one thing at a time.
Did run into a problem...trying to figure out why the instrument panel/radio/headlight not working...check the fuse, seems to ok. not sure if the contact in the fusebox is dirty or what. can't find anything online on what to look for in trying to trouble shoot that
Looking forward to bringing this baby back to is original beauty!
