Cheers to everyone here New member from Western NY. This looks like a great site. I'm the second owner of a 70 Mach 1 which I have owned since 9/73.
Its a 351C 4 speed car with shaker. Original and unrestored. Still sports the 70 Lime green paint job. Thats me and my son in the pic. I drove this car to California when he was only 2 weeks old. Road all the way there on the console. He's now 38. Any rate just wanted to say hi.  Oh thats my Boss 302 also.

Welcome! Some good looking cars there. I'm a big fan of both Grabber Green and Lime Gold even if my own '70 CJ Mach 1 is Med. Blue Metallic.

Thankx Cobrajet428, To be honest I hate Lime Green but I bought this car from a girl way back then and the car was what I wanted except for the color. But I love Grabber Green ! I worked at a Ford dealer in 69 & 70 and took care of moving all the hot cars inside at closing time. We had a Competition Orange Mach 1 just like this one on the lot that I was foaming at the mouth for. But at $80 a week pay I couldn't afford it. I found this one in the local newspaper when I came home from Vietnam 3 years later. Its still mine after all these years.
