40988, identification help Posted by foggy45, Jul-31-09 11:01 AM
can anybody tell me what year / model this is? yes i know its a mustang lol, other then that all i could tell you was that it was a fastback and had the twin hood ducts.
i saw a car on the side of the road for sale that was VERY similar to this in some small town i passed through last weekend. and since the wife wants me to get a "Real" project car, i was curious
you old school guys . . . any opinions on this? (besides it not being a Mopar, sorry Terry :P )

That looks like a 1970 something gt,cobra or Mach 1.
Nice find :thumbsup cough cough :7
Good project though, my mother had a Mach1 like that hers was red with black rally strips.
My cousin had the evil twin of that same car his was 78 hatchback and had its sister a 74 mustangII.
Do a search on yahoo/goole use key words like 1970 ford hatchback or add gt cobra or mach1 in there.

1972 Mach 1, in Germany. Not stock.
But let's get Barza in here for a definitive answer.

1972 Mach 1 Fastback
Unfortunately, I remember when they were new.

I will admit getting help from one of the "old timers" at work ;)
I remember when Toyota changed their logo and gas was 0.88/gal :shrug at least you had cool cars growing up.

It could also be a Boss 302 painted red, the mach1 and the Boss 302 are some indentical rally stripes but the boss has the 302 boss underneath the number, something like that.
Cool, yup thats looks like my momma's old whip. It kinda brings back some old memories I was 4 when my mother had this mach 1 fastback, at same time my father owned a 70 Challenger r/t with 427 hemi, while he worked at a Chrysler Plant in Detroit. .

If you find a Boss 302 keep it, its very rare and only car Shelby didn't have his name on. The guy behind the Boss name and helped bulid it was asian fellow.

That pic has MUCH more angle than the first pic. Window lines and the pillar is the same so I'd go with AzDave's call
