Mach 1 owner for 4 days :)
#1
Howdy all,

I've been wanting to lay hands on a Mach 1 since I saw the movie "Mr. Billion" back in the late 1970's. Just never ran across one until last week thanks to craigslist, sitting less than a quarter mile from my house.

My, or rather my 19 year old son's, new pet is a 1972 Q code car, 351 numbers matching, 4 speed manual. This car had been handed from person to person for 13 years without being licensed for the road. They guy I bought it from had been spending money on it for 6 years.

Brand new red paint, new tires, floor pans replaced, etc... for $4,700

Drawback: no interior at all aside from the dash. The last owner said it had all rotted and he threw it away.

Well, that's the story.

Welcome to the site from Virginia! I'm sure you son is excited about the Mach 1. Sounds like a lot of work has already been done. Post up some pictures and keep us posted on your progress. Hopefully it won't take another 13 years to get her on the road.

Welcome William,

From the title of your post I thought that maybe you were only blessed long enough to own one for four days.

I take it that you have only owned it for four days (as the writing of your first post).

Jump on in and enjoy the site and post some pictures when you can. Great to have you here with us.

Sorry to hear about the interior. Cry I do have some spare dash parts, door pannels, some chrome accesories, and other odds and ends if your interested.
