Candy Apple Red 1970 Mach 1 Mustang fastback owned by Paul Stein from Fergus Falls, Minnesota. This was our featured Attitude Of The Week for the week starting September 19, 2010. "This is the car I drove by on my way to work. I could not help loving it. She was owned at the time by an Auto Detailer in Bloomington, Minnesota. As luck would have it, one fall November day in 1982 as I was pulling into my previous employer Freeway Fords lot, there she sat in the used car row. Further investigation led me to find out that she was there for sale on consignment. Well as soon as I could, I went to visit its owner and inquired about the Stang. We came to an agreement that if it did not sell at Freeway, I could buy her for $2800. Well being the time of the year it was, she did not sell for Freeways asking price and the deal was made between its owner and I. It was not easy to put together the $2800 then but with help from Family, I was able to seal the deal after Thanksgiving 1982. I know little of its owner who originally put the car into the state it is in today. As you see it now is the way it looked when I purchased it. I do know it was painted its Candy Apple Red color while he was going to Auto Body class at Dunwoody in Mpls sometime in the late 70s. As you can see, the paint is holding up pretty well."

Check out this 1970 Mustang fastback that Dominic Napolitano picked up! Dominic tells us more, "It has a 302 with 3-speed, but not sure if its factory. The car spent most of its life in Texas, but enough time in Michigan to develop a little cancer. I have most of the sheet metal to restore her. Its a Father-Son Project (mostly father, Son is 4). I have a 95 Lightning engine for it and shopping for a T5. Its definitely a 'barn find' - only gave a thousand for her. "
