Call or email OK R&H fans, we went and did something wild. The SOHC motor has a new home, the automatic transmission is in the pile of forgotten parts, and we're staring down a Roush/Yates NASCAR motor to fill the void. Stay tuned for more updates, OR get on board and tell us how you'd like us to finish it for you! Encase it in a beautifully restored '70 Mustang Mach 1, and you've got a hellraiser of a present in a very attractive wrapper! Decoding the VIN, you'll find this is a Dearborn, MI-built, Mach 1 Sportsroof which was originally equipped with a 351 2bbl engine. Sadly, that configuration is all show and no go, which is certainly not the case now. It is nice to start with a true performance model, though, as all of the trim is in place. The body was rust free, requiring only the usual straightening from door dings and the like that are typical of a 40 year old car. Acapulco Blue, tinted slightly darker than stock, was chosen for the body. That's not usually a manly color for a Mustang, but the deeper tint, grayed-out trim, bright wheels and great stance set the tone for the rumble to follow. The bodywork is very straight, the paint has huge shine, and the details are done right. We've installed new side marker light and reverse light bezels to go with the rechromed bumpers, while the grille is an excellent original. American Racing Hopster wheels, 17 inches all around, add some shine to the side profile. The doors, hood and trunk close as they should. A Boss 429 hood scoop is up front for clearance while the rear spoiler and high-quality Tony Branda rear louvers complete the package. Inside, few parts deviate from stock, but those that do make life a lot easier. There's a very cool JME gauge cluster stuffed with Auto Meter gauges in front of the LeCarra wheel/Ididit tilt column combination. In front of the B&M shifter on the console, there are another pair of redundant, mechanical gauges for water temp and oil pressure. The seats, door panels and dash are all new, as are the sill plates and more. The controls for the Vintage Air A/C system are under the stock AM radio. Star #2 of the build is the Martz chassis. These guys are accustomed to building NASCAR-spec pieces, and it shows in the details. Custom, tubular front upper and lower control arms replace the stockers. Coilover shocks are at all four corners, and splined sway bars with billet pivots are at each end. Wilwood brakes are all around for stopping while power rack-and-pinion steering points the car. A 9 Ford rear end puts the power to the ground with the help of 3.50 gears and a Detroit Locker. The axle's hung by a custom four link with a Panhard rod, and its ability to twist the car in half is negated by custom, welded subframe connectors. The exhaust system is custom, featuring ovalized tubing and Borla mufflers. New lines, hoses and a fuel tank round out the mechanical package. Aesthetically, you can see driving placed ahead of show quality on the priority list. It's as clean as a whistle, with the suspension in gloss black powdercoat and the entire underside in a coating of rubberized bedliner to keep noise and stone chips at bay. It also means it requires nothing more than a quick wipe-down with soap and water to return it to the way you see it here! At the Motor Car Group, we're enthusiasts first. We want you to enjoy your new car from the minute it's delivered and the trailer door drops. Before a car leaves our shop, it's gone through comprehensively, both visually and mechanically. We do more than just kick the tires, though: We fill your tires with nitrogen, road test (if the weather permits us here in Cleveland!) and clean it inside and out. We buff the paint using a three-step process immediately before it's taken away so that it gleams when it arrives. Every car we sell, from Sunday drivers through the rarest exotics, is meant to be driven--get out there! If you have any questions before, during or after the sale, do not hesitate to contact us. It's what we're here for! Call us at, write us at or stop by and see the new shop at 6441 Davis Industrial Parkway, Solon OH 44139. We're 26 miles from Cleveland Hopkins Airport and we can pick you up when you come to inspect or purchase your car. We welcome any prospective buyers, their buyer's agents or inspectors from Monday through Friday during business hours, as well as evenings and weekends by appointment. We're car people who love what we do, and you'll feel it from the first time you contact us. Give the R&H crew the opportunity to serve you: Our passion and attention to detail set us apart!
