up for auction is a real 1970 ford mustang mach1 and not a clone.first off let me say that the entire car will need gone over and restored because it has been sitting in a garage since about the early 1980s.because it has been sitting for so long the car is mostly complete with most but not all of its original parts.the car was a texas car that moved to kentucky at some time in its life and thats where i got it and had it shipped here from. i wanted a desert car or southern car that was not from the northern rust belt where the cars are all pretty much rotted away and junk.with that being said i will describe the car as accurately as i can.first off the major parts of any mustang that are usually rusted and rotted out are in great shape on this car as i will list.all the frame rails both front and back and both sides are not rotted and need nothing done to them.the quarter panels are also very nice originals that need very little done to them.the inside of the trunk is also very nice with no patches or rot showing.the passenger door is very nice.the drivers door has a rust hole in the bottom rear corner and a dent in it so i would just put on a new skin.the door frame is in good shape so it can be used over.the trunk lid has rust and a hole in the corner so it will also need replaced.i would replace the floor with a one piece complete floor just to make it look perfect and a one piece is much easier to do than putting in sections.all the front framework and rad support is in great shape there is no rot where the front bumper bolts on as most have, there is not even a rot hole under the battery tray where they all rot.the nuts pulled through the rear aprons for the hood hinges so they will need changed the old ones were correctly removed by taking out the spot welds and temporary ones were put in just so the car doesnt shift when transporting it.the drivers side shock tower had a hole cut in it to get to the grease fittings and the wrap around part was welded solid on both sides for extra support.you can change these if you want when changing the rear aprons.fenders are not all rotted out but do have dings and dents so i would just replace them anyway. other rust that i can find that needs repaired is some around the windshield lip roof and cowl panel.the hood had a hole cut in it for air and a aftermarket scoop put on it as so many cars did in that era.the wheels and tires were also changed and now has huge 50 series in the rear and 60 series in the front.the engine transmission and rear end are as far as i can tell the original ones from the car.i cant find any serial numbers stamped in anything but all the driveline parts are dated less than 90 days before the car was finished.as a matter of fact all the major engine parts were made in a week.engine block 9h13 intake 9h14 heads 9h9 and 9h11 definitely all original.the engine is a 351 cleveland factory 4 barrel with 4 barrel heads.i removed the engine and transmission and removed the intake and heads to check the condition of the engine.it seems to be all original and i dont think it was ever taken apart before me.the speedometer reads 85,069 miles and the title says 85,000 miles on it and i truly believe these are original miles.engine needs rebuilt from sitting just like the rest of the car.i cant possibly describe every single part of this car as this description is already getting pretty long so if you have any questions about anything just e-mail me.i am including a copy of the marti report in the listing so you can check out all the info on the car.i took many pictures today of the car but it was in the garage where i store it so they came out dark.i will pull car out tomorrow and take better pics in the sun.the reserve is low for this car as i have to sell it so just e-mail me with any questions at all that you might have.i encourage anyone who lives close to come and check out the car in person,or have someone come check it out for you.On Feb-25-13 at 13:24:25 PST, seller added the following information: please note the date on the pics say 2007 but i just took them today february 25,2013 the camera date is wrong.On Feb-25-13 at 13:34:08 PST, seller added the following information: On Feb-25-13 at 13:36:12 PST, seller added the following information: click here for engine pics http://s228.beta.photobucket.com/user/allen724/library/ On Feb-26-13 at 06:29:47 PST, seller added the following information: FREE!
