This is an early red Ford Mach1 429 press car 
from my mate Lars-Petter in Norway- 

The Eminger invoice confirms this car to be an early Ford fleet press car (VIN range 001 to 0150).
The 315 stands for the charging account, the D for press cars.
This one got immediately exported with other press cars acc. to Lois Eminger research.

 


Wether it was used for anything around the movie remains speculation so far, plus Lars Petter has no intention to show it around as that,. Yet the fact, that it was a press car adds certainly to its value. 

Anybody who has early press coverage clippings of this car, is invited to share this info with us.


Lars did not show it around too often at Norsk Mustang Club shows, but you may find him there at least.

Dennis restored it for years until 2012 and even added a replica of the original movie licence plate to it. We finally feature it in its full glory. I am sorry that I kept it so long out of sight.

Would like to know what happened since 2014 with this car.

A  Bond car look-a-like ...
with BULLITT style modern wheels.



Pics were taken by the dealer, who sold this car.

 



"Two weeks ago we purchased our 16 yr old son red ’71 Mach 1 as his first car. We found the car at a classic car dealer near our home in Sacramento, CA. It has a 351C with 4-barrel carb on Ram-Air. We don’t know the cars’ complete history yet, but it appears to be #’s matching and almost completely original with the exception of 17-inch rims (late-model Mustang) and tires, and rear air shocks. We thought a car that would appreciate in value was much better than buying a newer car that would only depreciate in value.

Our son’s passion is cars, especially ‘60’s and ‘70’s muscle cars. He is interested in studying engineering in college and possible pursuing a career in automotive engineering and/or car design so we felt this car would be a good start. "
