1971 Mach 1 Mustang - Yard Sale Bargain
Thirty years after buying her '71 Mach 1 at a yard sale, Jennifer Chernow is enjoying the fruits of a family restorationOne Saturday in 1981 while visiting a garage sale with her mother and sister, Jennifer Chernow spied a '71 Mach 1 for sale in the driveway, its ram-air hood covered with a tablecloth so the wide, flat space could be used to display housewares. The asking price for the 52,000-mile SportsRoof with 351C-4V engine, four-speed, and 3.50:1 Traction-Lok was $600. There was rust in the usual locations; after all, this was New York. Jennifer also noticed a puddle of oil underneath and realized that the problem was a stripped oil drain plug, a fact that was used to her advantage in negotiations. She bought the Mustang for $450, putting down a $20 deposit on the spot.
