Default How many 71-3 owners are here?

I have noticed lately that there seems to be a few more 71-3 owners popping up. I was just wondering how many of us are willing to admit in public that we own one.If so how many have you owned throught your travels. My self I have had three. My firdt was a 73 mach Qcode automatic, secondone was a 71 mach with a 460 c6 and 4.11's and now I have the beast in my sig, 73 fastback 302 3speed car but the drivetrain was long gone before I came into it. Came with a locked up 4v cleveland.

I used to own a 73 Mach I with a built 351 Cleveland and an FMX.I sold it and I've been looking for it ever since. The last I heard of it some guy from California bought it. I keep looking on Ebayhoping to spot it.

My 2nd Mustang was a Baby Blue71 Coupe with a 302. I kick myself now for having the junkman take it away.

I've got a crusty 71 Grande in my garage. The drivetrain is nearly done, but it is on hold while I build a house.
