How much is a Ford Mustang Mach 1 at a Dealer Auction? Good Deal or not?

[@troygaskins1301]

I have a 71 boss bought it when I was 16 back in 1983.. still have the car and believe I have one of the nicest one in the country.. actually showed the car in the late 80s.. still absolutely perfect condition.. only has 7 thousand miles

[@motorvaderlapstrake7238]

The 71-2-3's are coming up nicely in value. When I drive my '72 Mach around these days it seems to attract more interest than it ever has. My son drag races and for fun I entered the Street Trophy Class one weekend and had an absolute blast. While I was staging the announcer gave a really nice introduction and description of the car. It's almost like maybe it's time has come. It ran 8.8's in the eighth.

[@gregmccarter3243]

i drove one up and down a gravel road when i was 10 years old in 1971 my friends dad owned a ford dealership and well dont leave 10 year old kids home alone in the country...

Would like to see you rebuild that mustang and sell or keep WHO AGREES

[@marcmera6733]

One just sold on Barrett Jackson last weekend for $253,000! I am I 72 cobra jet Mach 1 for 18,00 6 years ago. Best money I ever spent. It was my only car for a couple of years now it’s my weekend driver.

I really do love those cars. I have a fond childhood memory of those cars. So glad I wasn’t there with a pocket full of cash. I would buy to keep! Please, finish yours and keep it for you enjoyment!

There are more desirable mustangs once you get into the 20k range you bid right

[@Corkfish1]

I had one of those. Sold it for $1500 in 1981. Too bad the new ones don't look like this.

[@henryhill3778]

We all did stuff like that. My Brother In Law a Marine, specail ordered a 1970 Grand Prix, Black 455 HO 4spd MANUAL with a S.O. 2.08 Posi rear. Topped out at 140 from the factory. Had 81k on it. He wanted an automatic so stupid as I was passed it up and convinced my 16 yr old brother to buy it for $350. Ran excellent as he was a Millwright. Today that car commands over $100k, as there were less than 500 made as a manual &455 HO. Fastest car I've ever driven. My Brother sold it to another kid who blew up the engine a few mo later. WE can't even talk about it we're so pissed at ourselves. Sold my 68 Black Chevelle SS 396 4spd same way. TOO Cheap!

[@mexicanspec]

I read the comments below and it shows people are not watching the values of old cars. Any fastback mustang, even the pregnant one are way up there. have any of you seen what kind of Mustang you can get for $16,000. You don't get much.

You mean 70?

[@skyking1328]

I have a baseline 302 R code Mach 1. It's really nice, kinda hard keeping the plastic junk in good shape. I don't know the values right now in 2021, but i think they should be around 20K. I'm 75 years old and thought of selling the car, but the kids want it in the family. I have shelves of 71 parts in storage as I started collection in the early 80's. Nice video !

[@Walter_Auto]

I just watched on Hagerty and considering the condition it's not a bad deal, I'll consider this one a condition #3 GOOD the evaluation in this condition was around 29K in the previous two years and now are around 34K so I think it was a good deal

[@mrxmrp8795]

The best of this style from 71 through 73 would be the 71 Boss 351, which prices have gone through the roof. So if it's an R code 71-72 or Q code 73, these are the next best options, and if you can get the 429 and a 4 speed the better. The price will fluctuate up and down in the short term but in the long run the trajectory points up.

[@jesse75]

They all have the same style, just different engines.

[@2023FourRunner]

My Favorite Treat!!! Love This

[@sokodad]

I think it’s all in the eyes of the beholder. If that body style is your thing it’s what you’re willing to pay. Thing is these cars and nice ones are getting fewer and fewer so five years down the road it could be going for $5k more. If you want it for your own pleasure or resale will determine what you should pay. Finding the right buyer could be tough or easy. A guy who had one and is looking for one will pay more. The market is so uncertain. I myself like this body style but I like older more but older is becoming out of my price range so this wouldn’t be a bad substitute. It needs TLC so high teens is a good stopping point.

[@Bignash83]

Beautiful car

[@3257bm]

I think you got ALL the money for that one. Good video, thanks.

[@stevenharter1246]

It was a little high for that car. Hood stripes were wrong as was the console. 18k was a good offer. I just sold a 72 jade black with silver stripes and a 351cj. It went to Germany. It needed work but I let it go for 13k. You can find them for anywhere between 18k for a nice car up to 100k for SCJs. Happy hunting. They are out there and they are popular

[@lonnieairsman9215]

[@davidneal113]

That is a cool car . If you daily drive that . You are a total bad ass in my opinion.

[@Tomgmach1]

I got my 73 for $13.900 two years ago . It’s an original car no rust paint is really nice. She has a couple of scratches not bad. As far as looks she turns heads and receives a lot of compliments every time I take her out. The only reason I got it is because I had one in my early 20s . I’ve always kicked myself for getting rid of it, it turned out to be my favorite car. Forty years later I couldn’t stand it no more so I broke down and bought this one. My first one was white with black stripes and it was a Q code. This one is ivy glow with argent stripes and it’s an H code. I’m keeping it stock that’s the way I like it. As far as wheels the magnum 500s are nice but I like the beauty rings with the center hub cap better. Plus that’s the way this one was born with.

[@williamgreen1489]

Some people don't like the 71-73's but I do. That was a good price if you were going to keep the car and have fun. Hopefully the person that brought it will make money on it. Something is worth only what someone is willing to pay for it so we'll see.

[@michaelpassionsgarage356]

I have a 71 mach 1, with a 351 cleveland 4br. is it supposed to have Cleveland in it?

[@hjc5458]

I'd say 18-19 tops. The Automatic kills it for me. It's a driver on weekends, not a collector.

[@1notgilty]

Right. The automatic kills the interest and price for most classic and muscle car enthusiasts. But, I love the color and would have the hood and wheel wells repainted. However, once you get into that much paint it might require an entire re-paint and a good paint job isn't a cheap date.

[@Cwhitt23]

Was the tires 245 all the way around or smaller in the front?

[@3257bm]

The 71-73 mustangs are tanks, although the Mach 1's are classics. You can find a more desirable 65-70 fastback in great shape in the 20's.

[@daffyduckling6958]

Considering the time and money it would take you to build one of those I'd say you got a good deal. After everything was said and done it cost me $14,300 to build my 73 and that's including the price of my car. It would have been about 17,000 but I got deals on a lot of the parts. I did all the work myself too.

[@jesse75]

Your explanation confirms what I believe. In my small town, my two daughters ride their bikes and look around. They found two 71's sitting in a front yard. We went over and I talked to the owner of the cars. One is a Cleveland 4 speed car the other is a 429 scj. Even though I can do all the work to restore them, my daughter's and I just finished a 67, it isn't worth it when I can just buy a car for $20 to $30 thousand already done.

[@CP-pb3pj]

It’s a nice Mustang. I think it’s worth it if matching numbers.

[@robertstewart3086]

71 Mach 1s did not come with chrome front bumpers. Personally I like chrome much better. However, if we could have seen the 05 on the vin tag, that will tell you it's a real Mach1. Starting 1970 Mach's got there own id in the vin #

[@este369]

Love these little special clips you do. You were right with the price even though it went for more. Those Mach 1 aren’t that desirable. You should be looking out for the fox bodies right now especially the knotchbacks.

[@curtism-w6b]

I never understood why the '71. I guess it's the chrome bumper vs body colored.

[@daffyduckling6958]

Fox bodies are ugly and will never have the appeal of these older mustangs. Yeah they're lighter but not by much. The 71- 73 models are still way lighter than the new Mustangs.

[@n3d.studio]

$25k would be full retail...so $17-18k would be a good auction price, with almost no downside risk.

[@dyolinlinlin]

Hey man, love your videos. If I may make a suggestion, you should have somebody edit your videos for you. You don't do a bad job at all, but paying someone to do a really good professional and seamless edit could take your chanel to the moon because you have really good content, I just think your editing holds you back a bit.

I was thinking $25K but I think in CDN dollars so I was a bit low. Even still, I know people who would pay more than that for that car......Even with the rough spots that would appeal to them because they are the type to want to work on it themselves but not from scratch.

[@paddle_shift]

There was no 73 R code, 72 was the last year. So, if it is a real R code it was not original to your 73 car. The 71 on the auction site could have had an R code but not with an automatic and not with the Mach 1, the R code only came with the Boss 351 in 71.
