Hello, I am a new member from Holland and I own a '73 Mach 1 (VIN 3F05H103960). I bought my car 11 years ago from a vintage Mustang car dealer who had imported it from the USA and I still think it was used in the "real" Gone in sixty seconds movie because I haven't found one peace of sheet metal that wasn't damaged (as I learned later on in my project). I payed far to much money for it but when you're in love you don't care. It had no rust and they had put some fresh paint on it so I drove it around for a couple of years just to show off a bit but the not so very powerful Cleveland start to get more tired by the day and it begged for forged pistons and a Holley and and and.... I think that there is not a single factory build vehicle in the world that is answering to my needs and when I pulled the engine out I thought hey why not put in a roll cage and some race seats and and and... so I stripped the car completely (I had worked as a mechanic for a race team, we raced an IROC Camaro in the 80s, yeah I know, but everbody is entitled to make one mistake in his life) no just kidding, I do love other muscle cars as well. Now the car is out of order for 5 years and because of the #1 reason (lack of money) it will be for a couple of years before it will see the road again. Pictures will follow.
Greetings, Jack
