My Car
1973 Mach 1 Q code
I have decided to sell my 73 Mach1, but I can't make up my mind if I should sell it as a project or part it out. It is a shame to bust it up because the body is excellent, and the car is 100% complete, just disassembled. The body has been stripped and coated in PPG epoxy, the fenders, doors, hood, trunk, are all perfect, but still need to be stripped. The interior is complete, door panels cracked, but the wood grain and chrome are great, all the chrome on the car is excellent, front urethane bumper excellent, with shocks. wiring harness complete and in great shape. Everything in the car is original but the motor was replaced under warranty in 73, and apparently they put a 71 model 351 4V closed chamber head motor according to the casting numbers. The car is a "Q" code car.

Where in KY and what other codes? paint, interior, trans and rear?

 
I can get you codes you need when I get home tonight, but I am in Lexington, it is a C6 auto, 9" 3.0, and it was originally light blue with blue interior.

 
Yes I would, you can call me at 8598061170 , Rick

 
Yes sell it whole don't part it. I always wanted a light blue 73 Mach 1.

 
I hate to see any of them parted out, especially since it is nicer than some of mine. However if you do end up parting it out I'm interested in some of the interior parts...door panels, console, dash, center 3 gauge panel, instrument panel cover, glove box cover & window handles.

Best of luck with the sale.

The only original part I am missing is the Autolite Carb, it has an Edelbrock on it right now.

The reason I am selling it, is pretty simple. I have four kids, 15,11, and twin 6 year olds, and my wife's job is only part time, while I can always come up with the money one way or another, there is nothing I can do to fabricate more time, and my children are involved in tons of great extras that take a lot of my time as well, which is a good thing. I feel I have two options, one roll the car to the corner of the garage for 10-15 years and then finish it, or sell it. I have thought about this for some time, and believe this is best. I have not been without a Mustang of some model for 20 years, so I hope to buy a Fox body that I can tinker with and drive with the boys, but I just don't have the time for a project like this one.

Damn thats a deal!!! anyone close should be all over that!! I know i would be if i had the space!!! You should not have any trouble selling that! good luck.

 
Well guys the car sold as a complete project, I am very happy the new owner plans on completing what I started in lieu of parting it out, this is a really good car and it deserves to be put back together.
