It sat there for thirty years, cause the owner said he would fix it up, I've come across alot of that in my 70 years.

The air scoops and steering wheel look exactly the same as those found on a 1974 Australian XB Ford Falcon coupe.

The Big Nose (71-73) Mustang fastback is my absolute favorite of ALL the Mustangs. I hope to see many more videos on this car.

Fords seem to be the quickest to start after a 30 year nap

You just put another classic car on the road again .good job pat u're self on the back and go on save others. Bravo👍.

Wow you got it running - I did not think it was going to come alive. Not quite to the "drive it home" stage but close. Well done.

Very satisfying to watch you make something worth at best $1,200...a complete pile, run again. Thank you for the content! Tell your wife she's fabulous ❤

In 1980, my Dad bought a 1970 or 1971 Mustang convertible with a 351 Cleveland with an auto transmission. Maybe 40K miles. Fast car. Only car with an auto that I've driven that would burn rubber in reverse.

Man you look in soo much pain ,and the wife is soo chipper..Take a pain pill and keep going..He would have lost his temper if she would have honked the horn while he was under the hood..

I owned a 1973 351 CJ Mach 1. Bought it in Kentucky. Now don't get too excited because the guy that sold it swapped out the CJ for a 351M. Still fun to drive but not super cool.

I had a 73 Mach 1 and it had the same hood. It was a special order car the interior was upgraded. And it had a 351 cobra jet motor

Thank you for doing the right thing by using the Cre-Oil on the hood hinges. I always cringe when others yank on those old hoods without lubricating.

This genre of YT video never gets old....love the format keep em coming!

When I was a young teen my neighbor bought a new Mach 1.I believe it was a 1971.It was white with black decals and a white interior. He jacked up the rear and added wide tires. It looked like it was going 100 when it was sitting still.That thing was the coolest car I had ever seen. Your 73 has so much potential. Good luck with it. 👍

This looks awesome, can't wait to see it run.

This is great to see my 1st car was a red 72 Mach1 with a 2 barrel 351C

Great channel and on Facebook

Had a 71 Mach1 351 Cleveland did 150 in it in the 80s in Death Valley

Just talking out of turn here, i believe the berryman is used on a hot engine, some in the fuel line, use at a higher idle til it boggs down then left off til it recovers. After a half of a bottle of doing that then flood the carb with berryman til it dies, after it dies you let it heatsoak for about 5 to 10 mins. then finish the bottle feeding the carb again. Then use water in the same process to steam clean(only on old cars). (I personally use a little 2 stroke gas after all that and smother the carb with your hands to create strong vacuum to suck the passages of the carb) Then change the oil. It least that was how i was taught.

Great revival, thanks for sharing 👍💨💨

I've missed that "woo-hoo"!

hello richard and christina wow i think its going to be worth restoring how much is he asking with the combo it has being a mach 1 with the 351 cleaveland thats a good match and that car did not hesitate to start you bareley hit the switch and it was going great job y'all thank you for bringing another vintage classic car back to life

I had a 73' MACH 1 351 C w/Q code 4 brl heads,750 dbl pump carb, Offy intake, 3/4 race isky cam and 3000 stall C-6w/qrter stick and factory Blue Glow paint..."that SOB would HAUL ASS"!!! Awsome car!!!

Great job! This is waiting for a Gone in 60 Seconds fan to bring it back to glory.

Good show! Carburetor, and complete ignition tuneup it will be a runner. Christine the old Mustang would make you a good driver lol 👍👍👍

I really appreciate how much effort you’ve put into your channel and skill set. Inspiring!

Your editing is superb. as well as chatting richard up while he pulls wrenches. Thx you two

Atta great find! We getting proper roasted here in Ireland

Engine code F indicates 302, 2 barrel, Trans code 1 indicates 3-speed manual and Axle code 6 indicates 3.00 gear ratio. Not the original driver’s door so this tag is useless, need to look at the left front fender top rail.

Hey. Richard and Christina, great rescue video! I like that Mustang Mach 1 and 351 Cleveland V-8! Take it easy out there and looking forward to another video at some point! Take care!😁👍🔧🛠️

Occasionally Mary will cameo in our videos (she's kinda behind the scenes) but she doesn't want to wear a microphone. She will be in our video that will be out later today. She did most of the camera work but you can't hear anything she says, only my responses to her lol😂

These were a tough motor, reliable and very torquey. I had a chance to buy one of these many years ago, damaged frame, and passed it up. I have always regretted not getting it. Great job you guys in getting it running. You guys should buy this one and restore it, make for great content. This car should fetch a good dollar restored or just part of a collection.

Mr. B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍. Was overseas , miss you guys ! I have a little catching up . Richard you are going to have your hands full ! Best of luck

It's awesome to watch you two work together, being retired and sharing your passion with us, thanks

Would be good to see a full body repair and paint ,looking in from Sydney Australia.

This brings back memories. My Dad special ordered a 71 Mach 1 with the 429 ram air manual with a 411 rear-end. I loved that car. He would get on it, and it would glue you to the back of the seat. I thought that was so cool as a kid.

Excellent! Richard you've got the touch! Fun video.

Hi Richard and Christina ! Boy , I wasn't sure about that one ! Especially when it started off being stuck. Nothing better than raking your knuckles across a radiator when the rachet slips trying to get one to turn ! I was surprised that it had that two barrel on it ! I would have thought a four . I have to wonder if someone put a two barrel intake on it to save gas....that may be where the vacuum leak is coming from....just a thought. At any rate , top notch content , excellent camera work , and Richard ,always a pleasure eatching you spin wrenches ! The Best to you both !!!

love to see that car come back from the dead-good job guys!!!

I don't understand why they wouldn't protect it better or sell it? Such a shame. I bet they get offers now!

Another excellent job you two ,you guys save that Mustang, if I wasn’t disabled and had the money, I would try to buy that.

I got to drive my mom’s Mach 1 in high school in 73 and it was a blast. Shortly after I graduated and joined the US Army.

Great job. Wasn't easy with the heat, but you got er running. I'd never bet against Richard. I'm rootin fer ya!

That will be a great car for someone to restore. Another one saved from extinction! Thank you for the hard work. Now it's time to relax!

👏 excellent work. I have a feeling that its price just went up😃 I see cool late 70's Ford pickup trucks on the lot as well.

Great job 👍- it's was good ,that engine wasn't stuck!

Thankyou guys , good job on getting her going

Yes a mustang they got more mustang or mopar for sale or laying around

What a beautiful car

The base model came with a 302, and the upgrade was the 351 Cleveland 2V . The mach 1 base engine was the 351 4V, and the upgrade was the 429 4V . The back windows were notorious for leaking in the fast backs .

Amazing. No smoke either.

My wife family restored these Mustangs, I own a all original 1972 Mach 1 , that Mustang has the standard interior, with a GT hood and the optional 351 Cleveland motor, if it is a GT mustang it should have a FMX transmission, otherwise just a fastback ,not a Mach 1 but still a cool Mustang

A trick I learned from another restorer. Get a bolt with the right threads for the spark plug, have it center drilled 1/8 diameter, inch down the center. First spray PB blast or similar down. Spray Ether in #1 and put the bolt in , now add some fuse and stand back.

i think that if you look around there are some universal 2300 series Holly Carb gaskets that are straight across used mostly with adapters. great video thanks for sharing

got a 71 mach 1 and a 73 convertible love them

I always feel bad when Richard is out in the sun on a hot day

Richard- Just in case no one else brought this up, if the engine in the Mustang is the original one, you should look on the very back & top of the block after the intake manifold. Yes, close to the firewall. You should find a flat, machined pad which in all likelihood will have the VIN stamped into it. Be prepared to scrape off a layer of dirt, oil or other gunk in order to find it and you might even need a wire brush plus a good flashlight - even in broad daylight. The numbers and letters can be hard to see. Decoding the VIN will tell you a few things about the car. Yes, that VIN should match the others that you may find such as on the driver's side inner fender as well as the title. Also, look under the rear seat for a copy of the build sheet. You'll have to pull the rear seat up to look up underneath of it - the build sheet is usually attached to the seat springs. If you find one, be super careful when you remove it as they are usually incredibly brittle and easy to tear. Another place to look is the toeboard on the passenger side of the car under the carpet. Not on the floorpan, on the toe board which is the part that angles up toward the dash. Occasionally you'll find a copy of the build see there. One last place to look is up under the dash itself. There were some guys on the production lines that would roll them up and stick them up under the dash which is probably the hardest place to check since you basically have to be upside down looking up in there with a bright light. In my experience and from what I know from others, you aren't likely to find one under the dash but you should look there anyway in case the other spots strike out. You've got nothing to lose by looking. Have I ever found the build sheets inside of a car or truck from Ford? Yes I have and it's cool to find them even if there's no doubt about what you have. They also remove all doubt about the vehicle. Best wishes! - Max Giganteum

Fun video to watch surprised the body is that good after sitting in the dirt like that keep up the good work

U both are amazing. I didn't think U would have a chance on starting that 🚗. Will I would not bet on it😊

Thanks for another guys !

The fact you did a video on this Mustang is why I subscribed!! Keep up the good work man! 👍😎👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Eugene is a smart guy. Have had a few talks with him.

As the old Ford roars back to life it doesn't sound half bad sounds like your Hooker headers are leaking 😊 though.

I envision a 4-barrel or a nice Holley Sniper, some headers. And tires.

Great video 👍 It’s make you wonder why is was junked and not saved years ago. It’s an awesome fastback. Great job as always.

I owned a nice '73 Mustang Grande with a 351 Cleveland. It was fast! One thing you might take a look at. They were often built this carburetor intake adapters that degraded with the new non leaded gasoline, causing serious carb problems.

Rather watch a channel that restores them...good job getting it running

Tents a good idea.❤😊

Woooooooo 🤘, right on Rich, right on 🤙✌️

I've always liked the 71-73 fastbacks. I had a 73 fastback, Q code car for a hot minute. It had a factory 4v cleveland, top loader, and factory 3.91 gear. It was rusty, with a capital R. It is one of the few cars I regret selling.

Awesome video I really enjoyed it I love video's like this great job Richard and Christina

good job.... i never thought that would start so quick....wow

351 C with Canted Valves heads, excellent find! Runs like a Chrysler Hemi!

Very enjoyable mate,Well Done! Beautiful Car!

You guys have tshirts made that say woooo lol. For when he gets a car started and says woo🤣🤣

See ya next time team Rust.

What the heck! Your right by my house! I can tell u that ford was sunk in the ground since 2002 when I moved here. Blasted past it many times in my camaro.

Hello Richard, Great effort and tough hot day, but you are persistent and it has a great outcome. Nice job from you both. Be well

Nice! Enjoyed the video, thanks 🙂

Another success!! Sounds good too, albeit a little loud. She's gonna be a good car for restoration or a daily driver! Great work! Thanks for sharing, Richard and Christina! 👍👍🔧🔧🔧

My "guy" had a 67 with a Mach 427 cobra jet motor- maybe that was the engine in the SuperBEE his friend had?

This is a wonderful car to restore. I personally liked the 1974 model better with the back window more perpendicular to the trunk - but at 20 years old at the time - I was so jealous of my friends who had one! Great sounding engine.

Great job.

Boy Christina is learning a lot

Lovely seeing you guys doing this as a couple.

Those back bucket seats are way cool

Let’s hope majority of these vehicles can find new homes where maybe someday they will see the road again. Great job you guys! Thank you very much!

Man, nice you probably know you're awning is not set up correctly !

Oh snap, those Accell stickers in the rear windows added at least 25hp for sure!

Awesome job keep up the good work

I don't know how you two find enough time in the day to get all these videos out! You must do editing while you're sleeping! Always great watching you two bring an old forgotten classic back to life. And a factory AC car too! A Mach 1 with a Cleveland engine? very cool! Lots of torque even if HP was low rated.

If the lady carrying the camera is his Wife, he's one very lucky man..my Ex hated my interests....

I had one in the 70s very beautiful car mine was olive green metallic and black Pennsylvania Winters took care of that car good thing it's a little body work and then I traded it in on a new truck it was definitely an attention getter

Hi Richard and Christina, it's been a month since my surgery, i feel better and like you said i feel better each day, if things continue we are planning a vacation to Yellowstone, and maybe to Los Angeles to visit my sister and aunt, taking our grandkids they've never been to California, it will be hopefully in August before school starts, that old car looks rough but, worth fixing, so until your next video, see y'all then.

I'm a big fan of the Mustang Mark one.

The spoiler package you can buy in that year but it was like $1,500 and a rare option from the factory

I do still have a 70 F250CS that was 100 percent no emissions control. Still running!

That car has a 351 Cleveland with a c-6 transmission. Not a bad running mustang Mach-1!

That Mustang fought you for quite a bit. Was not an easy one. But had faith in you getting it going. Richard a great job. Christina great video work and help. Thanks guys for sharing! 💯❤️👊👍

That is a boss looking rad
