You are looking at an ORIGINAL 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1. This car while needing a complete restoration is very complete project to start with. It has it's share of rust, but is not a total rot box and would be a pretty straight forward resto. It is a Good car in a GREAT color combination!! This is an ORIGINAL 05 Body Code 1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1 that spent it's early life in Tennessee and Alabama before coming here to Georgia a few years back. I got this car in trade against another car I was selling and now I am looking to get it into the hands of someone who can use it. This car had been a driver for a number of years and was last tagged in Alabama in 1994 before being put away for a future restoration.This car is just waiting for the next Mustang enthusiast to come along and restore this car to its former glory!! This car was a Stock Order at Wiles Motor Company in Lewisburg, Tennessee. It was ordered in the Louisville, KY. District 28 DSO in the visually stunning and very desirable Z-code Grabber Green Metallic Hue with Black Bucket Seat Interior. This Mach 1 was further spec'd out with a H-code 351-2V, FMX Automatic Transmission, and a 3.00 geared conventional rear end! This '71 Mustang Mach 1 per the Deluxe Marti Report was originally ordered as follows: Mach 1 Package 351C-2V V8 Engine FMX Cruise-O-Matic Transmission E70x14 Wide Oval WSW Tires Power Steering Power Disc Brakes Air Conditioning Center Console AM Radio Tinted Glass Sports Wheel Covers The engine is a period correct 351 Cleveland and is a original 4 barrel engine with 4V heads on it, Edelbrock Performer Intake and Long tube headers. We had this car running about a year ago off an auxiliary fuel tank and the engine actually ran good. It will need an exhaust system as the last time it was on the road the only put straight pipes on it!! The Transmission is believed to be the original and does drop into gear, but it has not been driven. The brakes will need to be gone through before you put it on the road. This car is not any kind of driver at this point; but with a couple of weekends worth of work you could get the car running and stopping again without too much time and expense. The car had been repainted over the original Grabber Green paint in the Faded Red/Orange Color you see here. The body while needing its share of work and has some bumps and bruises over the years is actually not a bad car to start with. The 1/4's on this car do have a small amount of rust on the lower rear 1/4's (SEE PICS) most likely from clogged drains. The actual wheel arches on both 1/4's are still decent . This car,shows some wear and tear from its years of road duty and subsequent storage; but is not a terrible car to work with. With that said it is a fairly complete car that needs a complete restoration. The Body on the Mustang is not perfect, nor paint ready is a decent platform from which to start with. The Hood has some surface rust but is a solid piece. The fenders, doors and 1/4's are decent serviceable pieces to work with. The decklid is rusted, but I have a replacement decklid for it that while not perfect it is a solid piece.ble pieces. The Floors will need to be replaced as will the Trunk Pan but the Torque Boxes, Frame Rails, Rockers, etc. are fairly solid. This car has its share of rust and dent but overall is not a complete rust bucket. but rather a decent restoration project with which to start car. The Black Bucket Seat Interior is mostly complete and will need to be redone. But pretty much everything is available and reasonable to redo! Original AM Radio is in the dash and the original console is in good shape as well. This car was originally equipped with 14 inch Steel Wheels with Sports Wheel Covers and had Western Mags with Flat Tires on it when I got it; it now has a NICE set of 15x7 inch ORIGINAL Ford Magnum 500 wheels that were put on for photographic purposes only and ARE NOT included in this auction. Car will be delivered with a set of Steel Wheels and roller tires. Overall this is a decent project 1971 Mustang Mach 1 that is a good restoration candidate with its desirable color combination and option list. This car has a clean Georgia transferrable registration (as Georgia does not require titles on pre-1986 vehicles) in my name that is ready for transfer. Please be realistic in your expectations of this car as a nearly 50 year old project car that has been around the block and bumped and bruised a little that needs a complete restoration to include body work, mechanical work, and cosmetic reconditioning.
