I purchased a 71 Mach 1 429cjr about one year ago. The gent that I bought it from is restoring it. It is all original with the exception of a Rochester carb, one 15" rim and cap and the pop open gas cap. The car is a close ratio 4 speed with a/c. This combination made it almost impossible to find the correct Quadrajet carb, but I did eventually find one for a big price. I found the correct early 71 gas cap. I believe it is an Autolite. The 15" rim and cap is another story. Still looking! The car is Grabber Blue with medium blue interior. It does not have the deluxe interior. I have had the original exhaust system replaced with an nos system. The restorer knew of a complete 71 model year replacement. This car had 33,00 original miles on it. It sat in a chicken coupe in upper state NY since 1983. It shared space with a 70 Torino SCJ. What a duo! I have an Elite Marti to help document this car, including the 15" rims. The restorer tells me there was only one other 71 Mach 429 with a 4 speed and a/c. It is all factory. I have put up a picture of the car as it was when I bought it. The previous owner, and I believe there was only one other, painted the car a medium blue. The floor pans reveal the original Grabber Blue paint. I will post pictures of the restoration as they become available. Hope you enjoy!
