Sprint72, was yours a genuine sprint72?
If so how do you know?

curious...
do you have a name? eg: John, Peter, Nigel? Alfred?  hehe

mine was born a medium yellow with ginger interior ...
cheers...

going to hanging rock? ...


Jim, names Brett E. Neuman, but without the E. Neuman.

First suspicion my car was a Sprint was traces of blue paint under some paint chips. Confirmed it by finding HB on the door sticker denoting Sprint blue/white interior - no other Mustang has HB. Doubly confirmed by Marti report stating it's a Package "A" Sprint (base package, 302 Windsor 2-barrel, three speed toploader). That explained why it had the Mach 1 bumper and grille but regular hood. Engine is original but just put a 4-barrel carb/manifold on it over xmas, still running the 3-speed too though (d'oh!). Not really interested in returning it to original; I like the yellow/black theme best, and I don't really think Sprints are ever going to be anything very collectible. Follow the link to a pic of the Marti report if you are interested:

Hanging Rock? Hadn't really thought about it, but....maybe...

Nice looking car jennijenone, the white doesn't look bad at all.

I notice it doesn't have the hockey stripes down the side or the blacked out hood; it may not have originally come out with the black hood and stripes but in my opinion you should put them on if you paint the car yellow - I think it would look visually stunning with war-paint plus help the resale value.

By the way, if I were you I'd do anything to hold on to your car instead of selling it. 17 years ago I sold my '70 Mach 1 and 10 years ago I sold my XB coupe, and to this day I've never stopped regretting that I sold them :cry:

Thanks sprint72

I love that car to pieces, I've always wanted a Mustang and now I have it, I'm faced with selling it, I'll sure do anything I can to keep it for as long as I can, I'll never get over losing it. I understand how you feel about your previous cars, it must be a constant "wish I could turn the clock back" thing, sometimes life can be a beech :(

p.s. I have the stripes to go along the sides along with other Stang goodies. When it was last painted I guess the owner couldn't be bothered with the trimmings. I was told the Americans treated the Mustangs in the earlier days like old model Commodores (no offence meant Holden) i.e. a dime a dozen, I'll bet a lot of them wish they still had them.

Mark I think your car needs a good tune mate, I don't know if you noticed all the smoke coming out of the back? I'm sure that's not meant to happen. :nono:

Mustangs don't leak oil! I call it "lubricating fluid migration".

"I don't really think Sprints are ever going to be anything very collectible."

ooohhh, you probably thought that about your previous musclecars!

one day, like in mad max2, we'll be scrounging around for a few drops of fuel at any expense ...while others go about their day to day business in their priuses...and diesel minis...

hehe...

Definitely paint it the original colour. You may like white but your future buyer may just love the original yellow colour on a Mach 1.

Either way i agree " these cars are too "fat" for a
Solid bright colour" its got to be broken up by stripes, i personally think black with white or white with black on a mach1 (original or clone) but honesty dark or light the slightest bit of dirt will bug the hell outta ya... even if its freshly washed you will see a spec and it will drive you insane... (or is that just me)

You could stick to what Henry Ford said.

People can have the car in any colour they want, so long as its black! ;)

(I know he said model T but for the sake of it lets pretend he said car ;) )

I can remeber the day, when I was just an ankle biter, when my dad imported a cream Olsmobile from USA, apparently he couldn't get it in black, needed black for his hire care business, so he had it sprayed black, that was one of the worst days of my life, I thought that car was magic until it turned black, I felt like crying for a week. Most of the cars were black in Aus in those days....so boooooring
