Default 1972 Mach 1 H Code

What up everyone.

New here. Thought I'd share photos and info about my ride:



Despite its front end, it is in fact a 72. 2 owners (or so) ago I think wrecked it racing and decided to mount a 73 front end on it. I'm not restoring this to original condition so replacing that is pretty far down my list.

Specs: 351 2V with some nasty (not street legal) headers and an oil pan that could fit a small child. Also has a noisy-*** fuel pump, edelbrock intake, MSD ignition and a nice-sounding cam.

I've only had this beast for about 2 months but so far I've added the chin and rear spoiler as well as the louvers, replaced the entire brake system (master cyl, booster, hoses, pads, calipers self-adjusters,etc...), replaced the tires and just recently tore out the dash and headliner. I'm planning on getting the interior up to speed over the winter. We'll see how that goes.

Anyway, looking forward to talking shop with you all.

Nifty, although a factory car with Argent trim would also have Argent spoilers. Looks like a good, fun car.

Hmm you know I didn't even think about that when I put them on. I prefer the black still and since this car didn't even come in black from the factory I think I kinda have carte blanche on the presentation.... and I think I'm going for a blackout look. Probably going to paint the stainless steel window trim black at some point, and the rear bumper is already black. Hell, I might even tint the windows but that might be overkill.

Again, I am not planning on restoring this to stock. I am restoring it to cool.

The window trim is aluminum, so knock yourself out.
