1971 Ford Mustang Mach 1

This Mustang Is A Storehouse Of Family FolkloreHow many of us can actually say that we still have our very first car? Not many of the people in our crowd can say that. Those of us old enough to remember the Total Performance years were sometimes lucky enough to acquire some very interesting iron from that period-bought at a very affordable price. Indeed, we can remember the era of $1,200 used Mustangs very well. Do we wish we still had our first cars? You bet. Thanks to the wisdom and insight of his father, Bruce Wilcox of Rio Vista, California, is one of those rare Ford enthusiasts who still has his first car from when he was just a kid. When he graduated from high school in 1974 the hunt began for a car to take away to college with him. Forget about a Pinto or a Vega as a first car, because Bruce wanted a bigger and more powerful collegiate chariot. Later that same year he bought this '71 Mustang Mach I. A shining example from the twilight of the Total Performance Years, the big bodied beauty was loaded for bear with a 351 4V Cleveland engine, Top Loader four-speed transmission, and luxury features like air conditioning, power steering, and power brakes.
