Slick 60's

Some of you may remember a story I told about a survivor 73 Mustang Mach 1 about a year ago. Quick recap, car has been sitting since 1980. It was a Cleveland car with 6300 miles on it. It had an awful vinyl roof with a factory sunroof. 1 of 6 car with the sunroof. This car is completely legit. I wanted it in the worst way but the owner wanted too much for it. Go figure. Anyway, it has since been acquired by a gentleman in town who is quite ill and the car is getting a complete ground up with a 557 BBF squeezed into it. He had the stroked 460 built last winter but has been unable to start the project because of health reasons. Over the past few weeks, some very talented locals have taken it upon themselves to build the car while the owner is completely unaware of what is going on. This will be unveiled hopefully in the next few weeks. The entire build is a volunteer effort. I was fortunate to be able to offer some services helping out on the build. Here are some pics, enjoy.

I see by the hammer there they were doing some fine tuning to the engine. Looks good Mark.

Looks good now get'r done

Seems to be a good cause!

Fantastic!

But why, oh why was the ginger interior ever invented?

Hey Mark, if there is anything they may need let me know. I still have quite a few extra parts from my 69 that may be useable.
I am online almost every day to check mail but so busy I do not have much time to check foruma to argue with you all

hope you all are doing well

I agree with you Phil. Black would have been sooooo much nicer, however, it actually goes well with the green and the seats are in amzing condition for being 35 years old. The fluorescant lighting in the shop doesn't do justice to the car. I will post more when the car is done.

Glad you're still lurking Shawn. We're all still here but not all there

Nice car but I can't imagine buying a rare optioned survivor with only 6300 miles and changing anything.

I would have to agree, you want to make a hotrod Mustang go buy a common sportsroof.
