Ever since high school when a friend of mine had a real nice maroon 69 Mach 1 351 4 speed car and I was always in it with him but that body style had me hooked forever.....great body lines.....great quarters, just one of the best looking muscle cars of all time in my opinion....one of the best I said, LOL

I ended up buying that maverick from my Dad and it had a 300 straight 6 in it. With a good tune I was beating up on the local 350’s which we all know where powerless in the mid 1970’s on. Well I came this close to being a furd guy when I made a trip back to the furd dealer to talk to the owners son. (A drag racer). I asked him how hard it was to put a V8 in the car and he advertised me against it saying in 1972 they came with a V8 but the engine compartment was bigger. Shortly after that I found my first 1972 four speed 340 duster. The rest is old history. Now back to sucky LS engines.
