I never thought I'd like Mr. COLLINS. But getting to know the real Dennis through these videos has changed my mind. I have so much respect for him now. I suffer with depression and watching Mr Collins really helps me. His enthusiasm for cars is amazing. I love cars to, especially American cars. Thank you Mr. COLLINS, you really help me. Cheers, Dave.

I love the 73 but I am biased, I own one and have for over 30 years. I hate to be 'that guy' but I want to point out that there is no such thing as a Convertible Mach 1. Mach 1 had its own body code, even separate from the 'fastback'. The hood is often referred to as a Mach 1 hood but it was known as a NASA hood when they were being produced. The hood could be ordered on most of the models. I put one on my convertible and I really like the look, I also did the front spoiler. I am not trying to discourage anyone from putting the Mach 1 stripes and such on the car, I think they look great. Thanks for the video!

I bought my 1st car at 12yrs old by mowing my neighbors yard. It was a 76 2dr Chevy Chevette 4cyl 4spd. Before I got my license, my dad told my little brother to pull the pick up over and jump start my car so I could mow the barn lot. Well... After he got it started he went to back up & had his wheels turned and hit the car. It spooked him so bad he nailed the gas instead of the break and it drove up the fender, A-arm & back down the B-piller area of the driver's side. Needless to say,I never got to drive it to school,it was totaled but I sure put a lot of miles on it out in the feilds doing typical things boys do at that age,donuts.... So I wound up buying a 73 Olds Delta 88 2dr (friends called it "the land ark" cus I could fit so many in it on cruise night)

On that 73, the only changes I would make are: Put a New Manifold and a 4-Barrel carb on the 351. In ‘73 the compression was low and even the mighty 351 was detuned and low on power. A manifold and Good Carb would help a little bit and wake it up somewhat. I would address the rust issues, and since that is a rare color, I would repaint it. Full brake job, and that’s it. No spoilers, no stripes, and probably not even a Mach1 hood.

Back in '78, my new wife and I traded her yellow 65 Mustang Coupe, 200 "Sprint 6," Automatic in on a 72 Mustang Convertible, 351HO, 4 speed, Posi rear, AM/8-track, power top and power brakes. Grabber Blue (I think that was the Ford name of the color) with a white top. It had a white and black interior with houndstooth pattern fabric and white vinyl seats.

Another cool video. My first car was in 1973. I bought an old eight-year-old car, which happened to be a ‘65 coupe with the 289 high-performance, for $500. It had close to 80,000 miles on it. I put another hundred thousand on it and sold it for $500 around 1978. It was such a solid car with just minimal maintenance. Thanks for rekindling those memories.

_My first two cars as a sixteen year old kid were an early '65 coupe(late 1964) in the 200 C.I., and a '65 convertible in a 289 Hi Performance 275 HP(also in the same color blue as this car Dennis). What a find on the '73 convertible too! (I also owned a '71 Mach 1, then a '73 Grande). By the time I turned nineteen, I discovered Corvettes(initially owing a '74 t-top, then a '75 convertible), yet somewhere in the mix I never owned a '71 to '73 convertible. Whoever buys your 1973 convertible will be one lucky person. (I mean the car has so much potential, especially since it hasn't been on the road since 2002). Great channel, and always the very best finds._
