Mine looks even worse, because it has been sitting out in the open. I actually restored it once, and then got married and had kids. My wife resented the fact that I loved that car, and made it her lifes work to find other things to occupy my time. Now, my young-uns are grown and my wife is an ex-wife, so it's time to show it the love and devotion it deserves. I'm going to do a ground up restoration. Thankfully, a lot of the mechanical upgrades are already done, but I do have some rust issues to address.
Excited to hear about the progress! Hope my videos help your restoration. Ground up is a long ways to go but it’s nice to know what you’ve got down to the metal
I just watched all your episodes last night. You’ve done an amazing job and it’s going to look AMAZING!! Can’t wait to see it finished. Ironically today I watched an episode of Hagertys Barn Finds - Episode 45, and your car was on it!! Goes over the reports for the car an all!! Love the Green colour too!!
Haha you’ve def got a bit more sheet metal work but I love seeing the progress. I have a lot of extra parts man hit me up if ya need stuff I’ll see if I can help.
@@tdays21 I built mine YEARS ago. I did Silver exterior, red and black sport interior. They are going for CRAZY money on FeeBay. I had a Pewter '71, 302 2v automatic back in the early '80's.
@@jwrockets yeah they’ve definitely taken quite a leap in value as of late. I’m glad I found the one I did in the condition it was with the engine and tranny combo and all the options. It’s gunna be quite the beast!
I couldn’t agree more. I got a chance to drive this gals black restorer one with a 351C It was an awesome experience. Gave me excitement to continue on this restoration ;) I’ll be digging into drive train next wk
Hardly! I have owned two 67 fastbacks and now own a 70 Boss 302 a factory race car nothing overrated about THAT car! Not knocking the 71 Mach's my wife's first mustang was a green 71 Mach I.
What is the best way to find them like this? All I find is $60,000 showroom. So far I have only found one 71 fastback that is more of a project car rather than showroom
Classics-autotrader.com, classiccars.com, classiccardeals.com, ebay.com, craigslist.org, etc. Googling, "project...for sale," works wonders. Setting the sorting method to "price - lowest" will find all of the affordable beat up ones quickly.
