So, I've looked at a ton of cars over the years but this one... Documented one owner '71 Mach 1 w/ tons of paperwork, 7k legit miles and 90% original paint. Special order grabber paint, comp. suspension, non-funct. nasa hood and a few other goodies but nothing super special. Seats still had the factory plastic on them and the seller still has the 4 factory bias ply tires. Thing is clean as a whistle and not a spot of rust. Not really a Mach 1 guy (after '70 that is) but how do you pass on this one. Is it a 40k car now given the history and condition or will it take a bunch of years to get there. Where are the after '70 Mach 1's headed. I've never purchased on emotion but Christ when will another one like this come up...
Engine size?

Hi Bill-no
Purely speculative?
Do you think that you would like being the caretaker of a vehicle that should be treated as a trailer queen?
Do you think that you would like being an ambassador, and champion something that you totally aren't in love with?
Buy it.
Super rare to find in this condition/miles. If you're on the fence, I'd say just get it.
Worse comes to worse, you enjoy it for a little while then sell it. 7k mile original Machs with the plastic still on the seats are certainly not what you see every day. Or ever.
It's a unicorn.If it's as described I think it would actually be pretty hard to lose money on it in the long term...
