Will it run? A 73 Mustang Mach 1 fastback waiting in a junkyard for decades!

[@PaganWizard]

The Big Nose (71-73) Mustang fastback is my absolute favorite of ALL the Mustangs. I hope to see many more videos on this car.

[@jeffbangkok]

I bought a yellow 73 Mach 1 in 1975. The guy sold it due to it got 10 MPG and he needed a driver car. I crushed my hand cutting a tree in 77 and sold it to a local girl. By the early 80's she'd let the floor boards rot out. Good memories of that car. My CB handle was "Big banana" I still have the license plate from that car.

[@vernonbolinger9488]

May or may not be true but about 5 yrs ago i pulled a 58 edsel out of a field in eastern oregon. Been sitting many years. After cleaning up the engine and lubrcating everthing and adding a carb i made several attempts before it finally started. I was amazed how smooth it ran after a few minutes.

[@milktruck9345]

That's because they are the best.

[@larrynason8716]

When I was a young teen my neighbor bought a new Mach 1.I believe it was a 1971.It was white with black decals and a white interior. He jacked up the rear and added wide tires. It looked like it was going 100 when it was sitting still.That thing was the coolest car I had ever seen. Your 73 has so much potential. Good luck with it. 👍

[@Binkley-rj6gf]

In 1980, my Dad bought a 1970 or 1971 Mustang convertible with a 351 Cleveland with an auto transmission. Maybe 40K miles. Fast car. Only car with an auto that I've driven that would burn rubber in reverse.

[@juanitooctavio9023]

I had a -73 Mach 1, with 351 Cleveland, C6 automatic and 9” rear axle. One heck of effective AC. Black with silver stripes. I still miss that car.

[@MaxGiganteum]

Richard- Just in case no one else brought this up, if the engine in the Mustang is the original one, you should look on the very back & top of the block after the intake manifold. Yes, close to the firewall. You should find a flat, machined pad which in all likelihood will have the VIN stamped into it. Be prepared to scrape off a layer of dirt, oil or other gunk in order to find it and you might even need a wire brush plus a good flashlight - even in broad daylight. The numbers and letters can be hard to see. Decoding the VIN will tell you a few things about the car. Yes, that VIN should match the others that you may find such as on the driver's side inner fender as well as the title. Also, look under the rear seat for a copy of the build sheet. You'll have to pull the rear seat up to look up underneath of it - the build sheet is usually attached to the seat springs. If you find one, be super careful when you remove it as they are usually incredibly brittle and easy to tear. Another place to look is the toeboard on the passenger side of the car under the carpet. Not on the floorpan, on the toe board which is the part that angles up toward the dash. Occasionally you'll find a copy of the build see there. One last place to look is up under the dash itself. There were some guys on the production lines that would roll them up and stick them up under the dash which is probably the hardest place to check since you basically have to be upside down looking up in there with a bright light. In my experience and from what I know from others, you aren't likely to find one under the dash but you should look there anyway in case the other spots strike out. You've got nothing to lose by looking. Have I ever found the build sheets inside of a car or truck from Ford? Yes I have and it's cool to find them even if there's no doubt about what you have. They also remove all doubt about the vehicle. Best wishes! - Max Giganteum

[@whattherust]

That is good info Max. Thank you. I will be back there in the near future, so I'll take a look.

[@MaxGiganteum]

-- I should have mentioned some other things regarding build sheets but for some reason... wasn't thinking about it at the time, but here you go. It isn't impossible to find a build sheet anywhere (and I mean ANYWHERE) under the carpet although it isn't likely. It also isn't impossible to find a build sheet attached to the springs on either the driver, passenger or the vertical portion of the rear seat although once again, it isn't likely. I base those thoughts on my many decades-long experience as a Mustang owner, fixer and restorer along with the experiences of many other folks I've talked to directly or read about. In fact when it comes to Ford automobiles from the 60s & 70s, you can follow the same advice with the other models just like you can with the Mustang as Ford during that two decade long period of time pretty much did the same things with the build sheets no matter the car. I don't recall what the story is with vehicles from the '80s or newer as I have owned very few of them in my time. I prefer the vehicles from prior to 1980 so my knowledge is somewhat limited in comparison to the older hardware. The bottom line is that if you're looking for a build sheet in a Ford from that era, just go through the entire interior and you'll either find it or you won't. Naturally, that's a fairly common thing to occur for folks restoring a classic Mustang or similar car. Peace & good vibes! - Max Giganteum

[@sidgysoho1960]

I just have 2 words ( in a name) and that is " Marty Report " !

[@lancepearson4035]

Wow you got it running - I did not think it was going to come alive. Not quite to the "drive it home" stage but close. Well done.

[@whattherust]

Thanks Lance. It was a challenge, but I had a good feeling about it.

[@CAN43715]

Not even close to "drive it home stage". Brakes, U-joints, Brake lines, oil change, headlights, turn signals, wheel bearings, water pump, radiator, carburetor vacuum and fast idle, alternator, brake master cylinder, rear end, transmission, rear main seals, gas tank, fuel lines, fuel pump, brake lights, power steering pump, interior headliner removal and cleaning all need to be addressed first. You are looking at many hours of work.

[@th86stone]

Just talking out of turn here, i believe the berryman is used on a hot engine, some in the fuel line, use at a higher idle til it boggs down then left off til it recovers. After a half of a bottle of doing that then flood the carb with berryman til it dies, after it dies you let it heatsoak for about 5 to 10 mins. then finish the bottle feeding the carb again. Then use water in the same process to steam clean(only on old cars). (I personally use a little 2 stroke gas after all that and smother the carb with your hands to create strong vacuum to suck the passages of the carb) Then change the oil. It least that was how i was taught.

[@whattherust]

All good advice. I have been using the water trick since the 80s.

[@jeffcorum8312]

I had a 73' MACH 1 351 C w/Q code 4 brl heads,750 dbl pump carb, Offy intake, 3/4 race isky cam and 3000 stall C-6w/qrter stick and factory Blue Glow paint..."that SOB would HAUL ASS"!!! Awsome car!!!

A lot of people seem to dislike the body-style but to me it's second only to the 1969. Especially the Mach 1, those are so cool with those NACA duct hoods. Seems like the spoiler was "robbed" off it which is a shame. I hope someone buys it and brings it back.

Hi Richard and Christina ! Boy , I wasn't sure about that one ! Especially when it started off being stuck. Nothing better than raking your knuckles across a radiator when the rachet slips trying to get one to turn ! I was surprised that it had that two barrel on it ! I would have thought a four . I have to wonder if someone put a two barrel intake on it to save gas....that may be where the vacuum leak is coming from....just a thought.
