I ain't gonna lie - I got a little lost myself. LOL!
OK - "I'm Here Because..." when I was looking at buying my '71 Mach 1 on San Angelo Craigslist back in 2010, I didn't know much about the cars other than I'd always wanted one since I was 14. I'd only seen maybe 2 or 3 others since the one I fell in love with in high school - all of them at my first duty station of Holloman AFB, near Alamogordo, New Mexico. That was back in 1987-89, and literally had not seen any other Clydesdales since then. So, I'm thinking about buying this rusty pile of junk in the shape of a '71 Mach 1, and figured I'd jump online to find out anything I could about the car, since the seller was throwing out all sorts of B.S. claims about it being 'rare,' collectible, valuable, etc. I found a handful of Mach 1-specific, '71-'73-specific, and some general Mustang websites and forums, which I began perusing to see where I would find the most usable information.
This site, along with 7173Mustangs.com were the only ones that stuck. VMF is not my cup of tea, because it's mostly just a bunch of Vintage guys putting down everybody else's 'non '64.5-'68 Mustangs' (seriously guys... let it go, they're ALL vintage Mustangs after all).
Over the years, I've gone through some spells of having 'forgotten' about this site, but it's still here and I'm trying harder these days trying to be a better member, not just in name (I check it at least every other day, and try to post something when I can).
