Bought a slightly used ‘72 Mach One in my senior HS year in in spring ‘73
My brother jumped at any chance to do a beer run for us
I bought a 71 Mach 1 in summer of 73. It was sharp, but with a dog of a v8: the 351 Windsor. By that time it had also seen 3 winters of road salt. The original owner commuted almost 80 miles round trip per work day year round. By the spring of 76 paint was bubbling bad in many places, especially below the tail lights. 5 1/2 years old, and becoming structurally unsound.
