Here’s another nice convertible wasting away in the woods waiting for someone to fix her up. 1971 was the first year of the really big Mustangs and many don’t really see these cars as being on the same level as the early Mustangs.

Another great car that sat neglected in a field for way too long. This is an original 383-4v car with automatic tranny. But at some point someone decided they’d rather have  a 4 speed and so butchered it and ripped out the original transmission. Read the rest of this entry »

Not much info available on this neglected Mach 1. It’s powered by a 351 W engine (M-code) mated to a factory 4 speed. Desirable drive train for sure. Combine that with the much sought after Mach 1 option and this project Mustang is looking better and better. Read the rest of this entry »
