Re: [Classic Mustang] Looking for 71 mach 1 parts

Good luck on some of these.

seat risers: these aren't made as repros. You're going to have to find
some in a junk yard, and that's not easy to do.

hood and deck lid: repros are made of these, check most Mustang parts houses.

front bumper: you need the urethane bumper, and these are rare, although
they do pop up on Ebay occasionally. The trick there is that you need a
REALLY good body man to rework these (I happen to have one, and he did a
great job) as they can be prone to cracking paint, etc..

Try calling Colorado Mustang Specialists in Denver at 877-687-8864, ask for
Mike or Dan. They have a huge junk yard of old 'Stangs and were valuable
when I was restoring my '71 Mach. They won't be particularly cheap with
salvage parts, but then again, the market's tight on those for '71's, so
it's a seller's market.
