original contract from 1970

I purchased a new Grabber Blue Mach I in 1970, 428 CJ, etc. I sold it later, paid off the note, enjoyed the car greatly, have always missed it. the only thing I have from that time is the original contract to purchase.

I'll gladly send to anyone who may now own this car along with any information and the original plate number. I bought it in the Bronx, NY, from Banner Ford. The serial number is OT05Q156834. It's not much, but may be of some help if the car still exists. Thanx, Bob S.

Hello!

At this moment this Mach1 is not registred in the registry.

Ray

It hasn't been sold on Ebay within the last 2 years either.
Else I would have registered it in my 1970 Mustang Registery, at
www.dutch-twister.nl

Would you believe that I bought that car, brand new, for 3800 dollars, and sold it for 2400 dollars 15 months later with only 13000 miles on the clock. The guy I sold it to was straight off the boat, could barely understand what I was telling about driving, did not have a valid drivers license. I drove it over to a private outdoor lot in Queens, armed the alarm, tossed him the keys, and never looked back.

It was getting about 6 to 10 mpg when I sold it and I couldn't afford filling up every second time I drove it. Cost? About ten dollars to fill up with Sunoco 260. I wonder today how anyone can afford to find and buy gas with enough octane to run a 428 with 10.2 compression? Mine would ping under moderate throttle with anything other than the best gas available.

Just reminiscing. I suppose it was stolen, and stripped, as was the case with so many cars in those days. Maybe I'll get my hands on another one some day. Thanx

You might try here to see if it's listed in the 428 Cobra Jet Registry: http://www.428cobrajet.org/forum/index.php

Do you still have this document. Do you have a pcture? I'm trying to track down as many docs for mine. It would be great to see what it looks like. Do you have any other info? Regards Slammed920
