Northernstang 18 Report post Posted December 17, 2020 I’d like to introduce myself and my dream to the group. I have always wanted a 1969 Mach 1 and spent years looking. In 2017 i purchased this car in Vernal Utah. My wife thought I was crazy but she went along anyway. So, this is the beginning of the journey. 1 Grabber70Mach reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Northernstang 18 Report post Posted December 18, 2020 Thanks. I hope it will be finished by summer 2021. I had a stroke in sept and the focus on this car has been one of the things that has kept me sane. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Northernstang 18 Report post Posted December 19, 2020 Thanks everyone for the welcome. Been so busy trying to gather and post pics I neglected to respond to your comments. We loved Vernal as well RPM, beautiful place and friendly people. I promised the seller I would bring the car back to vernal for him to see when I get her finished. I hope this virus won’t interfere when it is time to go. The Year I bought the car we toured through 8 states on vacation visiting small town USA and loved every minute of it. To tour all the states and Canada in the mustang would be a dream come true. Thanks for the inspiration to finish “Roxy”. 1 Caseyrhe reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
