Re: 1st '69 Mach1 SJC 4.30 ordered found
Really cool find. I've always said, there's no telling what lurks in old barns around this part of the country. There could be a gold mine sitting just down the road, and we'll never know it.
I grew up around old cars and restorations. My father has done many, from 1969 Camaros to mid-1980s Mustangs to old pickup trucks. My personal feeling is mixed on restorations like this. I've seen guys take cars that are practically ready to be scrapped and restore them, and in my mind those cars are NOT original and are not as valuable anymore. I think there's a certain threshold where you'd consider a car to be original vs. a clone of the original. This car, being in many pieces, having been hacked up, and missing the entire drivetrain....eh... I don't know. I don't know that I'd call it original when he's done. Having said that, he definitely needs to restore it and I hope to see pictures of it online one day when it's done. Really cool piece of history right there!

Re: 1st '69 Mach1 SJC 4.30 ordered found
It remind me of a comment about the two recently unearthed Bullitt cars. One is 90% original, the other is 90% not there. I certainly want to see both saved, with the one car untouched from as it is now, and the other saved from a permanent demise with as correct parts as possible.

Re: 1st '69 Mach1 SJC 4.30 ordered found
Yeah, the hero car from Bullitt, sold to a private owner and then daily driven and beaten on with a family daily for years. This very first Mach 1, discovered in Pennsylvania in a hundred pieces with hacked up panels and no drivetrain. The first two Pontiac Firebirds ever built, found in a barn in Connecticut in pieces with the engines out of them. You hear stories like this and think how could this happen? It just goes to show you how back in the 60s and 70s nobody knew that those cars would be worth the kind of money that they are today. My father has said many times, "If we'd known that, we'd have stocked barns full of them."
