I would buy some cheap beater and drive that everyday for at least your first 6 months.Most first time drivers have a wreck with in 6 months don't think you want to wreck your mustang.Plus with a extra car you can spend more time with your mustang apart.Here is a few links you might want to save http://www.7173parts.com/ http://429mustangcougarinfo.50megs.com/ both of those have a ton of info. http://www.ohiomustang.com/ has the most parts for the 71-73 i seen on any site.

Great choice for your first car! Mine was a 70 coupe, a pos but I loved it. Bought it for $500 and sold it for $250 after many failed attempts at rebuilding the carb. Never ran right after that. Welcome and Good Luck with your new baby.

I live in Bergen County, and one thing I gotta get looked at (by a mechanic I know that works on classics) is its starting, it doesn't "turn over" as good as I would like, so I'm getting it looked at, and I bought a custom radio so kill 2 birds with one stone this weekend hopefully.
