This SCJ Mach 1 has been thoroughly researched and documented by Kevin Marti, of Marti Auto Works, who found Lois Eminger’s 2 page Invoice confirming the history and abundance of options of this particular SCJ Mach 1. Along with the invoices is a personal letter from Lois Eminger and five window stickers that trace the car’s transfer from Ford of Canada to the Dealer Intro Show and the transaction to the dealer. It is also believed to be the first 1971 Mustang with Detroit Lockers. Known ownership history from the Showroom floor to the now owner. As we know documentation is everything and this one has it all and more! In addition to all the paperwork, in 2014 the SCJ Mach was featured on the front cover of Muscle Car Review. This ‘71 Mustang Mach 1 was also available on a series of personalized checks for the 1971 Model Year.
