This is a 1971 Mach 1 Mustang. I bought this car as a demo in January of 1972. It had approx 5,000 miles on it an came with a full new car warranty for $2995 from Shivley Ford in downtime Niles. I've dated my girl friend, now wife in it. I have pictures of my son as a baby sitting behind the wheel, he is now a doctor with a family of his own. My grandson also had his picture taken behind the wheel as well. My Mach has been featured in national publications. I have kept this car 98% "factory", just the way it was in 1971. Presently it has approx 39,000 miles on it. It is my time capsule, whenever I take it for a spin, my gray hair disappears, life's troubles gets lost for a time and gas is $0.35 a gallon again! It's much cheaper therapy and way more fun! — Robert Macabobby

My name is Jim Shively and my dad--Harold and my uncle Don Shively spelled wrong in article] owned Shively Ford in Nles. My grandfather George Floyd Shively started the dealership in 1935 on Robbins Ave....they sold the dealership in 1979.... Don is now 88 years old living in Oklahoma, and Harold--age 85 lives in Niles. I also owned a 1971 Mach I Mustang----silver and black... Wish I had it now, in good shape like Macabobby's!!!
