    Hi, it looks like I never responded to your questions about my Mach. I live in Modesto. A good friend of mine is building a car collection. So far he bought a 65 Mustang GT convertible, 71Pantera, and a 67 GT500. He got a line on this Mach and asked me to go with him to check it out. Turns out it was too much of a project for him, so I bought it instead. The prior owner had it for 17 yrs. When he lost interest, he parked it in his garage and it just sat. He had a rodent problem, so the interior was covered with mouse poop and urine. It was a mess. I towed it back to my house and got it running. Fortunately he gave me the Marti Elite report. Originally Yellow but was repainted white. The side stripes don't say Mach, but it is a real one. Of course not too many came with 390's b/c for a few extra $, more people got the CJ. Close ratio 4speed, 3.25 gears. It runs and drives but is rough. I plan to cruise it around town for a couple of years and begin the resto. Here are some before/after photos. I'm in Facebook as John Del and I have photos posted there. Cheers!

    I'm interested in a black mug and black t-shirt. Is it possible to put the Mustangs on the mugs as well?

    Hi, has anyone done this job recently? Specifically what is the best way to get to the top of the three bolts? The middle and bottom ones are easy to access, but I'm puzzled how to get to the top one. Thanks.

    Hi I just bought a non-running 69 Mach 390 4v garage find. (I'll post details and photos later.) It hasn't been driven in 7+ yrs, so I am going through the whole process of getting it ready to fire. The Mach came w/o a battery. What is the correct size for the 390 4V. 24F or 27F? It is my understanding correct that a modern 24F has the same cranking power as the 27F from the 60's? The brand, size, or style does not matter to me at this time. I am more interested in having the max cranking power to turn over that big block. Thanks.
