You are minding your own business in SF. Steve McQueen is dead. Then this happens...

Looks like a ‘71 because I was in the 11th grade when I first saw one parked at my high school. It was a bright yellow, and I recall thinking that looking out the rear window might be difficult. The styling wasn’t for me, but for some reason I remember it as though it was yesterday.

Everyone is missing the most important thing here, is that a Swensen's ice cream parlor? I haven't seen one of those in years. There was one in Goleta that we went to all the time, they had the best burgers. Dang it I'm hungry now.

I was getting into the Hunter S. Thompson gonzo vibe at post #1, then came a bunch of dinky comments from constipated oil bathers. Ruined it !

Surprised it took to post 14, first reply on ADV would have been “pictures of hot chic”…

Terrible color for an early 70’s Mach I (clone) … not good wheels either…

Really? Because to me, that is the iconic color for a '71/'72 Mach 1 fastback. And the wheels are absolutely period correct. This is exactly how I remember seeing them when I was a young boy. When I was in 8th grade, one of the girl's gym coaches had a '71 Mach 1 fastback that looked very similar to that. Same medium green color. She would park it right outside the locker room entrances, and I got to see it every day when I came out of the locker room. Loved it! I still have a thing for that color of Mustang.

Yes Really.
