7th grade on my way to school, used to walk through a Ford dealership lot. My friend Dave loved the Mach 1. Many years later i bought a boss 302. Im in my 60s now, and still own it.
This was my dream car back in high school when you could see on parked in the front yard of a random suburb with a for sale sign and $2500 on the windshield. They were much more common than one might think. As soon as I started trying to get one, they started going up, up and up in value, always one step ahead of me. When they went into the double digits I said forget about it. Since then I've owned a lot of different cars, but these will always hold a special place in my mind.
I bought a red 71 here in Denmark in the late 90'ies. It was sold as a Fastback, but I could see from the VIN that it was originally a Mach1, so I bought it and told my wife that it would be restored back to what the Marty report told me was original. I opted for new tyres, but other than that it ended up as an original 71 Mach 1, grabber yellow, black interior, 351C 4-barrel with a C-6, no stripe kit, only the Mach 1 fender and trunk stencils, Magnum 500 wheels, pop open gas cap, nonfunctional ram air. Hardest thing to find was actually the rear honeycomb panel, which was missing! Sold it when kids were added to the family :)
Nice save!! 1st car was a 67 rs 4 spd. Had signs of a Z28 but I didnt see dz on the block stamping....it said MO Was many yrs later til i realized that was a legit 302, rs ss options. Never missed a car more. Guy I sold it to put an auto in it and hacked the car up bad. Loved that thing, was that factory tuqoise/aqua color
Saw my first Mach1 in about '72 parked at a mall just north of Toronto, though I was not a big fan of mustangs at the time, that silver 429 model had a big wow factor, I was surprised how big it looked and its sound was a mesmerizing, almost hemi-like rumble, you could feel it in your bones.
Bought a new 71 Mach 1 in 1972. $3,800 window sticker. Metallic green, hub caps with beauty rims, Firestone raised white letter wide ovals. 351 Cleveland two barrel carb. Got married and traded for a 75 Chevy Monte Carlo. Duh!!
As a kid I spent a sunday in my Uncles repair shop (despite being told not to) sitting in one of those and listening to the engine idle. It was worth the risk.
My brother bought this car in highschool in 2006 for 4'500 perfect condition he didn't listen to my dad and get the car fully checked out he was so excited to show off. He took it on the highway and blew the engine it had no oil. Its sat around around a few more years and he sold it and bought a Honda prelude
Hi from Australia Dude, a friend of mine had a original Mach 1 ,351 Cleveland. The colour was silver and black, the wheels had the mustang ford pony hub caps, black interior it was awesome, and man did it go.
I had a '72 Mustang Coupe with the 351 2v. It was pretty but helpless in the rain, Dangerous in the snow. I replaced the belted bias ply tires with radials and that helped a lot, but without chains it just sat and spun the wheels in the snow.
I love the huge mustangs from 71 to 73! Iacocca got the designer of the car also the then president of FMC, fired because his designs other than the Mustang were hideous. These Mustangs are the most unique because of their size.
Man I would love to park this Mach 1 next to the Cougar!!! Not many white out there and I love it !! You guys find and sell the best Classics on the interweb 😎
it will happen one day just drive and enjoy it. Made the mistake of taking mine apart...it was 10 yrs before it saw th eroad again lots of good times missed.
@@gordocarboexactly the same here. 7 years in and now completing the bodywork. did hide a lot of rust though even though inside the trunk and inner wheel arches even though was sold as rust free.
That style mustang always reminds me of James Bond, Diamonds Are Forever, Vegas car chase. Personally not my favorite mustang body style, too big, but that is a beautiful car.
I was always told that you never rev an engine and then shut it off.That squirt of gas rinses the oil from the cylinder and it is dry the next time you start it.
1975 I had a 71 Mach 1, silver, red int, 4 speed with the 285hp 351 same as this one. Yeah, that one is correct. Flip down gas cap is 71 only. 72 had a twist cap alot like a Maverick. Ads are here in spanish.
Richard Holdner did a test of the 1970 351C 4bbl and found it put out close to 370 HP. Your 71 351 4bbl is probably close to 350 HP? Ford under-rated their performance engines to fool the insurance companies in order to keep insurance costs down.
Nice, they are always yellow, it sure looks good in the white, fun to drive, someone sure spent a lot of money on all the details, every bolt bracket and hose looks factory correct. 351 boys always want to know if the engine is from Cleveland or Windsor, I am a mopar guy, but I am pretty sure Cleveland is the more desireable engine, I think it was the heads, they breathed better, it might have been something to do with Canadian emisssions, but don`t quote me on that, it`s a pretty car.
My sister had this same car back in the 80’s. The only difference I can see is this car has a rear wing , her’s didn’t. And her hood had the center cowling painted black.
YES ABSOLUTELY CORRECT THIS MUSTANG 🐎 MACH 1 IS IN PRESTIGE CONDITION MINT AS WE USE TO SAY everything LINES UP AND DONE UP RIGHT 👍 A GREAT INVESTMENT BY FAR PEOPLE
This car is exactly like the one I bought in 1975 for $2700. Wheels, color, everything. Only difference is that mine had a 4 speed, factory 8 track and rear window louvers. Ex #1 got it. lol
I think I’m gonna cry… my first car was 71 Mach 1 exactly like this just whit the black hood design and I sold it for 6k because hard times 😭 i whis I still have it to restore it like this one.
Sadly i saw today a 1972 Mach 1 that is all original paint and matching numbers running and driving at the pick n pull here in Calif that is about to be crushed. The story is some old couple turned it into the BAR for a few hundo to get old clunkers off the road.
The radio plate needs to be replaced. It's hideous. That panel is removable I'm shocked the owner/restorer didn't replace it. The rest of the car was done correctly. 1971 Mustangs no matter what type of engine did not have a manual choke. Factory gauges work fine, they should have been hooked up.
I use to drive nothing but rear wheel drive big motor muscles cars. I still love em. But then you start realizing you can't drive em year round, they mostly suck in the rain, and you get smoked by 4 cylinder turbo's that handle better, get 35/40 mpg's and last forever. Nice to have one in the garage for weekends, but they are relics now if you are an actual driver.
After market steering wheel, if you gripped to tight you honk the horn, inner ring on original.looks like the one I had white / black stripes 429 SCJ,power windows, a street beast.
Years ago I drove a silver 1971 Mach 1 Mustang with the 429 Super Cobra Jet with the Drag Pack option, 4 speed with factory 4.30 gear and with a factory Detroit Locker rear end. Violent power delivery compared to a 1974 V12 E-type 4 speed Jaguar I also drove in comparison, lol.

I had to fix one of these in my second year of autobody trade school. It ended up with three or more patches on almost every panel because of rust. That's when we started calling them "Rustangs".
True ! My new '71 Ram Air 351 front fender tops rotted thru in 1 1/2 years old. No inner fender liners. Horrific paint and decal installation. Dash area panels way out of line. Huge disappointment.
All the body lines look completely Ford oem. Yes the cars beautiful, but maybe you shouldn't use the word perfect so much. Love it, but I've already got 1.
Hey it's a nice car but don't pretend those panel gaps are anything but good. There's a huge bulge in the right side hood panel gap and the trim on the bottom passenger door is incredibly uneven. They might be slightly better than factory but they are still 1,000 years behind the cheapest Hyundai built today.
@@gordocarbo Not trying to be a dick here - but to clarify, those dudes walking around the car literally pointing to body panels with mismatched curves, varying gaps, misaligned trim and calling it "perfect" is wrong. Look, I own American muscle cars. Poor fit and finish is par for the course. They should have said it's "period correct", not "perfect". Body fit and finish of that Mustang, my 1996 Impala SS, my 2006 TBSS, all pale in comparison to the average low cost car rolling out of the Hyundai factory in Alabama in 2024.

Correct sir! I had the opportunity to purchase one with a Cleveland in 1985, excellent condition $2,500.00. I couldn't come up with the cash.
Brings back memories of my '72 Mach 1 with 351 Cleveland...sigh.

No radio needed here!.

Wow ive never seen such a clean 71

true restoration...so nice
I'm a diehard GM man but I always loved the fastback mach,s love to own one......
why? they are underperforming and butt ass ugly. There are a number of mustangs that are actually decent looking and can get out of there way.
My favorite year. Awesome job guys. I am coming up there sometime.
This is my favorite year
Man I would love to park this Mach 1 next to the Cougar!!! Not many white out there and I love it !! You guys find and sell the best Classics on the interweb 😎
Matching Numbers with the 351 platform makes a nice car. I want mine to have a 429 Big Block. Mine will be for Sport.
Gorgeous! This sucker must have sold within hours!
One of my dream cars 😭😭😭😭
I went and bought myself a 71 351C 4V because of this video. It's about a 7/10 now, but I'd love to restore it to this quality someday.
it will happen one day just drive and enjoy it. Made the mistake of taking mine apart...it was 10 yrs before it saw th eroad again lots of good times missed.

Thumbnail is photographic excellence! Great choice of lens, perfect lighting, awesome angle. The best photo of this model I’ve ever seen.
OMG the sound is amazing😀 stunning car.
Along with the winged Mopars, this puppy is one of my all-time favorite musclecars. Very cool stuff.
Truly, truly wonderful 👍👍👍
Nick in the U.K.
Very beautiful perfect looking car wow thanks friend have a very nice day
Wow. Love it. I miss my 73 Mach 1
Hope my 69 Fastback comes out as good. Nice job whoever did it. Also in white as of now.
DAMN imagine how a 429 V-8 would sound in that car, the 351 was impressive as well!!
2:39 Nice to see cars hit in the front, put back on the road, especially this 1971-73 series -- i think these are the best looking of all Mustangs.
LOL.
Very Clean Looks brand new
Another beautiful classic😇
Thank you for sharing and your APPRECIATION Dalton
That style mustang always reminds me of James Bond, Diamonds Are Forever, Vegas car chase. Personally not my favorite mustang body style, too big, but that is a beautiful car.
I was always told that you never rev an engine and then shut it off.That squirt of gas rinses the oil from the cylinder and it is dry the next time you start it.
ive always liked these
1975 I had a 71 Mach 1, silver, red int, 4 speed with the 285hp 351 same as this one.
Yeah, that one is correct.
Flip down gas cap is 71 only. 72 had a twist cap alot like a Maverick.
Ads are here in spanish.
Richard Holdner did a test of the 1970 351C 4bbl and found it put out close to 370 HP. Your 71 351 4bbl is probably close to 350 HP? Ford under-rated their performance engines to fool the insurance companies in order to keep insurance costs down.
This ain't no restoration it's 3 times better than when it left the factory..it's how it should have looked.
Stunning car!
Nice, they are always yellow, it sure looks good in the white, fun to drive, someone sure spent a lot of money on all the details, every bolt bracket and hose looks factory correct. 351 boys always want to know if the engine is from Cleveland or Windsor, I am a mopar guy, but I am pretty sure Cleveland is the more desireable engine, I think it was the heads, they breathed better, it might have been something to do with Canadian emisssions, but don`t quote me on that, it`s a pretty car.
Wow l love this car $
My sister had this same car back in the 80’s. The only difference I can see is this car has a rear wing , her’s didn’t. And her hood had the center cowling painted black.
14:07 was the best part of this video
YES ABSOLUTELY CORRECT THIS MUSTANG 🐎 MACH 1 IS IN PRESTIGE CONDITION MINT AS WE USE TO SAY everything LINES UP AND DONE UP RIGHT 👍 A GREAT INVESTMENT BY FAR PEOPLE
I would run out the door rite this minute...jump on a plane and show up there to purchase that stalion....BUT i dont have the damn $😬
Hey even like the 78 Mustang 2 Ghia you back there.
1971 was the first of the Mustangs to have the Euro bumper not the last
Be a lot of fun driving something like this back home? What range she sell for?
I have a 72 Mach 1 love in it! It has 92k on it ! You didn't mention if the factory clock works? Anyway beautiful 71
Where's the ram air parts on the hood?
It did not have the correct ram air set up
Only two things matter when you're buying a classic mustang.
That's.......
The VIN and the door build tag.
Not all mustangs were created equally.
What is the price for this amazing car
I see it's already sold. How much did it go for?
Needs thee louver in the back glass.
This car is exactly like the one I bought in 1975 for $2700. Wheels, color, everything. Only difference is that mine had a 4 speed, factory 8 track and rear window louvers. Ex #1 got it. lol
Car guys, hey what's he doing when he shifts the shifter? It's automatic?
On the test drive.
I think I’m gonna cry… my first car was 71 Mach 1 exactly like this just whit the black hood design and I sold it for 6k because hard times 😭 i whis I still have it to restore it like this one.
Very nice!
Just missing that third pedal
did it sell and if so how much?
It’s not lining up on the other side. Should have spent a bit more for ram air.
What a beautiful classic! Way above and beyond the Pinto Mustang II abobination...
Test drive at 12:50.
Very nice just like the red 68 you have. Neither will last long.
Is it a 351C?
Didn't all the Mach 1's black hoods?
Never mind. You addressed that.
NO?
At 0:18 I didn't like the clunky sound of the door closing on a beautifully restored car?
Never came from factory done this well.
Why don't you guys put the cars on a lift so we can the underneath of the cars , I wanna see that because its important also ❗❗❗✌🏁
We have photos of the undercarriage on our website
Put them up in the air like Vanguard Motors does !!!
You guys like cars i know , but for not too much money you could get a good camera for taking pictures of one . But these are cool .
Beautiful car, wrong color! I owned one in the 70's, real eye catcher
Sadly i saw today a 1972 Mach 1 that is all original paint and matching numbers running and driving at the pick n pull here in Calif that is about to be crushed. The story is some old couple turned it into the BAR for a few hundo to get old clunkers off the road.
Door sounds terrible. But every thing else fantastic.
The radio plate needs to be replaced. It's hideous. That panel is removable I'm shocked the owner/restorer didn't replace it. The rest of the car was done correctly. 1971 Mustangs no matter what type of engine did not have a manual choke. Factory gauges work fine, they should have been hooked up.
So, the 428 and 429 were gone in 1971?
428 gone. 429 in. I know where a 429 mustang is. Like to see someone restore it.
I love the 71' Mach 1 Body style but I'm not a fan of the white color. Almost any other color with the black stripe would be much better looking car!
I jnow where ine of these is sitting now in 2023 , realley would like the funds to
make an offer .
Rear tail light trim is not original, 1973 did not have black trim around the tail light, 71 head black trim paint
I use to drive nothing but rear wheel drive big motor muscles cars.
I still love em.
But then you start realizing you can't drive em year round, they mostly suck in the rain, and you get smoked by 4 cylinder turbo's that handle better, get 35/40 mpg's and last forever.
Nice to have one in the garage for weekends, but they are relics now if you are an actual driver.
My brother in law had one , it was a sled making handling more like a station wagon . great looking car , just remove 2 feet from the wheelbase
👍👍👍👍
The nose on this car is insane. 351 Cleveland I hope. The Windsor engine was crap.
If my '11 Stang had a Mach 1 package I would have had it.
Man I wish
After market steering wheel, if you gripped to tight you honk the horn, inner ring on original.looks like the one I had white / black stripes 429 SCJ,power windows, a street beast.

I remember my neighbor having to pull over for me to throw up in one just like this fresh off the show room floor I was 7 im ,60 now

My buddy owned one of these. Casual race against 1965 ss 396 impala. Love mustangs, but this race was horrible.
The word original seems to get tossed around a whole lot, this car is not original anymore, it has been restored.
I had to fix one of these in my second year of autobody trade school. It ended up with three or more patches on almost every panel because of rust. That's when we started calling them "Rustangs".
True ! My new '71 Ram Air 351 front fender tops rotted thru in 1 1/2 years old. No inner fender liners. Horrific paint and decal installation. Dash area panels way out of line. Huge disappointment.
Closing the car door sounds like a Sherman Tank. By 1971, the Mach 1 Mustang was overweight, which required a huge V-8 just to move it down the road.
❤
Painted front bumper, chrome rear bumper 😢
سياره قويه ماشا، الله
