1971 Mach 1
« on: March 15, 2016, 10:32:00 PM »
Hey peoples, I am a newbie in here and was directed to this site by Smokey15.  I just bought a 1971 Mach 1 Feb 16th,  351C, M code motor with a C6 transmission. It was a friend of Smokey's that passed away back in Oct. I am 62 and this was at the top of my bucket list.  I wanted a 67 or 68 Fastback, but the price range of those were a little out of my range.  Anyways, I need some parts in trying to get everything right on the car and back to stock.  I am looking for the "kickdown rod" from the carb to transmission and also the shifter rod from the shifter to where it connects on the tranny where the kickdown rod connects.  I have other issues I could use some help, but will start with this for the time being.  I will be posting some pics soon  of it too  :)
Thanks

 Welcome. It was nice talking to you on the phone the other day. You picked up a nice car. You'd have liked Jack, the previous owner. He was a great guy who will be dearly missed.  I'm glad that his Mustang is with a good guy. Jack would approve. 
 The guys on this site (except me) are very knowledgeable. I'm sure someone can guide you to the correct parts you need.  Best to You.
 BTW, You may want to post in the Parts Wanted section as well.
