Topic: Just purchased 1970 MACH 1, survivor.

That is so nice, so nice to show us and so nice to see an unmolested car!   

Not all have to be Boss's  SCJ's or Shelbys.   Collectors that have "restored" cars now long for original cars.   The market is funny MOST HERE have properly restored cars that they did themselves.     SO many of the "auction" cars are mutted together, aren't proven and some go from venue to trailer to garage to venue.   Buyers that find they can't drive their cars due to this are now looking elsewhere.

Again  GOOD FOR YOU TWO!    Enjoy and be good to each other.  And thanks for sharing - that's what we do.

Thanks svo2scj And on top of that, we drive our Mach1 and our 67. Matter of fact, we drove the Mach the day before yesterday to Zaxby's to eat ! We usually drive them both about 700-1000 miles a year. LOVE TO DRIVE THE MACH!!! We just had the original motor rebuilt a few years ago and I had my builder to put a roller cam and lifters back in, and it still sounds stock, he dyno'ed it at 300 HP. Enough power for me...LOL

While checking out the car I removed the vents in the door jam to see how the inside of the quarters look, I spot a coffee cup inside. Quality is job 1 on the assembly line.
I had a chance to look through the paperwork from the prioir owner, amazing. It has a log book of everytime he drove it over the last 21 years and 10,000 miles. Mileage out and back, how it ran and gas mileage. Lists every maintenance by date, down to replacing bulbs. I've never seen such a detailed history. All the paperwork  from day one to now.

I imagine this P.O. also does not like the term "OCD" because the letters are out of alphbetical order!

It's quite possible that the owner was a pilot and used to keeping records. My father was a pilot and did keep detailed car mileage records plus the cars service data. I was taught by him and continue the practice. It came in handy when my insurance company placed one of my cars in a higher rate class based on their perceived mileage. I proved them wrong with the detailed mileage records.
OCD is a disease that you might try. It seems to do a lot but accomplishes nothing.

I resemble that remark; I keep meticulous track of all of my mileage, expenses, and all in chronological order, thank you very much.

Good year for me when it comes to Calypso!

I'd say!!   

Anxious to see some pictures.

Sweet car, the thing that stands out to me is front seats are red where gray stripe is supposed to be. Maybe someone painted to match the car?

I think you're confusing the Calypso car with Priceless's '69 Mach 1.  The Calypso Coral '70 has the grey stripe in the seat.
