'73 Mach1 Q code Barnfind in Europe!

Hello, does anybody know how many Q code 4 speeds were built in '73?

This is a genuine barn find from Europe. The car was found in "Andorra" a small country between France and Spain. It was also registered there in '72 according to the sticker in the window. It is pretty solid with no rust or rust-repairs on the floors or front. Just a bit on the right wheel wells and rear quarters. It is a real Mach1 and has the Q code 351 Cleveland with a 4 Speed transmission, and I wonder how many were built in this configuration?

It also has a km/h Export speedometer. Don't wonder about the grille The car must have had a small front accident sometime and the owner probably couldn't get a hand on a new grille back then. So he made his own one. Probably built together from some italian car I guess Cool thing I found in the backseat. Original Mach1 Stripe kit from Ford in the box. date codes 1977. Here's a few pictures.

Wow.. if that is a true T5 Mach 1 Q code it would be very rare. Check out this site... http://www.fordt5.com/. Lots of good info. Check out my marti report, I have a 73 Grande Q code 4 speed. Good luck with it!

Thanks, I don't think it is a T5, 'cause it wasn't a German car but Spain.

But cool site, I will check out!

Does anybody know how many 4 Speed Q codes were made that year? On the net I couldn't find any numbers...

I haven't found out yet. Maybe some Fiat or some strange thing...??

Anyone notice the other cool American cars in the pics? That's very unusual for Europe. I am on my phone browsing this but that thing with the suicide doors looks like Lincoln and in another pic I see what might be a Dodge Dart.

Ray can you tell me how many

1973 Convertible AUTO 'Q' codes were produced?

Thanks

Looks like a 61 Lincoln and a Eagle spirit, I think...not many of those around here.

'63 Lincoln with an aftermarket vinyl roof, it seems.

Ray might be "tied up" but there were 675 "Q" Coded Convertibles built with the C6 transmission in 1973.
