Welcome Dennis!
I never had a sister.
I always wanted an older step-sister, but never got that either.

Awesome welcome guys!

Thank you!!

Couple of quick answers:

I am in the SF Bay Area about 45 miles East of SF.

The car was purchased new in Southern California by my Sister. It is in good shape although she put in a sun roof (bad idea, I know).

She also had it mono-chromed to a dark (almost black) green. They sprayed everything, chrome, trim, door handles, etc.

351C 2v - auto - very basic model...no spoiler, louvers etc...

Body is straight with some rust around the sunroof where the seal was leaking. Interior is in very good shape with minor wear on seats.

Chrome American Racing Wheels. Stock exhaust, which I will change shortly.

I will get some pics posted shortly...

BTW, I do have a question regarding an electrical issue. I replaced the starter Solenoid and voltage regulator. I was careful to replace the same connections but now when I start the car, it wont shut off with the key. Where is the best place to post this question?

Thanks again Fellow Stangers!

Dennis

Interesting choice of customizing it seems for your sister. But the Mustang was always intended to be made "individualized" for the person that owned it.

You can always close the sunroof off, but if its in good shape and potentially has parts available to make it look good, there's nothing wrong with a sunroof, heck my Navigator has one! Biggrin

Look forward to the pictures! Again thxs for taking the time to join Mach 1 Club.

Tell anyone you know about Mach 1 Club! The more the merrier. Thumbup
