How rare?
« on: October 08, 2015, 08:28:03 PM »
How rare is a '71 429 CJ fastback ram air (J code) Mach 1 with 10,000 actual miles?
I don't always downshift, but when I do it is near a Prius so they can hear me hurting the environment.

According to Marti for all fastbacks (not just Mach 1s), 594 4 speeds, 833 automatics. I can't speak to the 10,000 miles. Chuck
Thanks, Chuck

Thanks, I have never seen one for sale with that low mileage, there is a collector in Tulsa that has several like this though.  I was thinking about how good it would be for the Unrestored Class at MCA, since I understand that is a very prestigious class, maybe more so than T-bred or Concours Trailered.

As long as the condition matches the mileage. There have been many very low mileage cars (under 15,000) that needed full restoration because of how the cars were stored.

If this is the collector I think it might be - the condition will likely match the mileage well - but as always check everything out before hand.
