a while back i was in Luray VA & went to the luray caverns. they also had a very cool transportaion museum full of vintage trucks, buggies etc. it was probably more interesting than the caverns which was overpriced & overhyped.

I'm impressed! I knew it was a 70 Mach 1, but couldn't begin to name the factory color. Well done ab. What a sweet Acapulco Blue 1970 Mach 1 in that video!

This reminds me of the '38 Dodge half ton pickup my Dad restored. The thing was beautiful, about the same shade of red as this Mack, similar flatbed with stake sides.

Well, my last Mustang was a 1969 convertible and I painter her Acapulco Blue. : )

Riding in anything build prior to about 1930 is an experience, they shake like hell, the brakes are marginal at best, overheating is a constant concern, gas and oil fumes are strong enough to cause dizzines. The only thing I can compare it to is riding in a British car from the 60's or 70's. The old trucks are uber-cool

What a sweet ride that must have been. The 69/70 Mustangs were some of the prettiest cars ever built. Well, my last Mustang was a 1969 convertible and I painter her Acapulco Blue. : )

She looked just like this one and had a 351 Windsor and an automatic like this one. I did put better rims on mine than this one though. : )

Except that the electronics in the British cars were shit and would leave you stranded on a regular basis. I had a friend who's Spitfire was down more than it ran, he sold it after rebuilding the engine and replacing gauges/wiring, the damn thing was very reliable about NOT running. The only thing I can compare it to is riding in a British car from the 60's or 70's.

The 69 is my favorite. I like the wider body stance and the tough four headlights in the grill. Some days I still miss her.....

I'll bet it was a trophy-winner after you got it finished ;-)

I agree, I like the 69's a little more than the 70's.

Mine was never "finished" in all the years I had her but we progressed a great deal. I won first place at one show when my old friend Harry didn't show up with his 1969 Convertible with a 390 in it. : ) Since he sold Mustang parts and restored them his car was impeccable. It even took first place at nationals. finished
