just when this 1970 Mach 1 was getting unwanted city attention because of their "junk cars" mandate, a young guy came along looking for a Mach 1 because his dad had a couple in high school... and bought it for only $2500. The owner since 97 had lost interest in working on it

 

The car had been sitting since the late '90s, as Bryan collected parts for a street restoration. There was some minor rust, and a banged up passenger side quarter panel, but otherwise it was an original 351  Mach 1 with an automatic. 

 Since Bryan had been buying parts for years, yet hadn't been able to complete the car and the city of Lubbock, has a rule against cars on blocks being visible from the street, the city had posted a Junk Vehicle Notice and threats of fines and a deadline to remove the car. 

The sudden threat of city red tape and fines, and the unexpected meeting with the young guy looking to get a 1970 Mach 1 for his dad, who had one in high school, convinced Bryan to "pass it down" at a price far below market. Into the deal he tossed in his large collection of parts, new and used, which included a set of new BF Goodrich raised white letter tires on four Magnum 500 wheels, optional on this car in 1970.

The video is one of the worst editted I've seen, but there's a lot of info in it.
