Hi Ian, as a follow on to our chat prior to the match yesterday, here are the pics I promised you of my new aquisition. Taken from a car club forum - the arrival of a near 40 year old classic.
My '72 Mach 1 arrives today on the back of a truck. The car is a non starter at the moment and has to be winched off the back of the truck.
She's now outside my garage, the first job is to purchase a new battery, change the fluids & give her a major service and fire her up so we can move her under cover.
Mach 1, meet your new friend - ZR-1
On closer inspection I've seen a few more niggles, although up on the truck I could see the underneath was weather sealed. But even that could be concealing a few demons. The interior looks good and in this pic you can see the blistered roof and hood, however not bad for a car nearly four decades old.
Update - after a thorough inspection the car has been undersealed and Ziebarted and the chassis is in top condition. It hasn't been started for years as its been locked away so the first task is sorting the mechanics.
