Ky69Mach 10 Report post Posted January 24, 2013 I am new to the forum so I figured I should tell a little about myself and my car since you guys have been so helpful in answering my questions. I purchased my 69 Mach 1 24 years ago at the ripe ol age of 14. I mowed yards to buy it. I am the third owner of the car. It was sold new in the county next to mine in 1969. The car has never left the state of Kentucky. I now have three sons of my own and figured it was time to finish what I started so long ago. I am ready for the motor and transmission to go in. It is all painted inside, outside, and underneath. Just a matter of bolting parts on now. I am putting a 427 Windsor with a TKO 600 behind it and running 373 pos in the rear. She is Triple black and clean. I am ready for this to be finished. Again, thanks for the help on this forum. :thumbup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Almost the same as mine, but my dad restored it in the late 80s and then I got it when I was 16. I went with a 392w myself, and I'm definitely saving up for a tko lol also, post pics! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RPM 1,190 Report post Posted February 13, 2013 +1 on waiting for the warmer weather so I can get back to work on mine too. I don't know how you guys live in that weather. Walked 18 holes of golf in 65 sunny degrees in California today. The politics and taxes here on the other hand... Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
