    Favorite 71-73 colors?

    Gold Glow Bright Green Gold Medium Copper Brown Saddle Bronze Metallic 73 offered some of those best earth tone colors. Unique too.

    73 Ignition Tumbler / Positions

    Yep, so mine does not have the ACC position is what I meant. I know it will drain the battery to be used, but i was referring to the forward position that activates the gauges, buzzers, etc. So I wonder why mine does not go back one...it feels stuck, when trying to go back, like something is...

    73 Ignition Tumbler / Positions

    My ignition tumbler has only 3 positions, all FORWARD (one forward and nothing happens, a second forward and all electronics come on -- while draining the battery-- and then the actual start position. Question is: is there a REVERSE position to, say, listen to the radio without draining the...

    NOS Parts

    If YOU feel satisfied and it adds to your pride of ownership, go for it. I have gone primarily NOS with many Mustangs I have owned over the last 12 years. My take on it is: if the part is only available via Japanese or other poor reproduction, by all means seek NOS Ford. If there are some great...

    73 Blinker Switch Replace

    So I am about to replace the burnt-out blinker switch in my 73 Mach w/out tilt. I understand the basic concept of installing one, but I was hoping to get some tips from guys who have done it. Does the collar at the top of the column unscrew and slide down to access the tunnel hole like on a...

    Tilt Steering Wheel

    In order to get it to "pop" out of the way upon entry (opening the driver door), there needs to be vacuum. Make sure the cannister holds air (no leaks) and you need to start the car after locking the wheel into driving position to give the system enough air again to "pop" upon entry again! Does...

    A few 73 Mach 1 questions

    Yeah, mine doesn't have the vacuum actuator on the side of the air cleaner base either, so I was assuming it isn't an original air cleaner assy. It figures Ford would be using their stock until it rain out considering the Mustang II was on its way in for 74.

    A few 73 Mach 1 questions

    BT, my 73 Mach was also ordered from the export ordering district by a Sergeant who resided in Texas at the time. I have multiple documents from the Ford reps regarding the ordering of his Gold Glow Mach while he was stationed overseas. I guess it would be a long shot that you guys actually knew...

    A few 73 Mach 1 questions

    Thanks for the replies. I was told that Cobra Jets specifically had a unique lid, with an extra "roll" towards the center, around the hole. Mine has that BUT it is not chrome. So I was thinking it has to be an original lid, but why not chrome, as I was to believe all Cobra Jet lids were. I'd...

    A few 73 Mach 1 questions

    Where is the buck tag located on a Dearborn built 73 Mustang? And, did ALL 73 Q Codes have the chrome air cleaner lid with the extra roll shape (unique to the 73 year)? My 73 lid looks just like the chrome style only it is blue. I'm trying to figure out if it is original to this Mustang.

    Overflow Tank?

    72 Mach1, that is exactly like the one that was in a 73 vert I had a few years back. It is kinda funny looking, especially with the overflow tube spanning all the way around the front of the radiator support, down and up into the tank. I took what looks to be an original Ford overflow bottle out...

    Overflow Tank?

    I had a 73 vert w/ a 302 and it had a cage-looking square basket w/ an overflow tank like you describe. I wonder if it was factory? Sure, post a pic, I'm curious...

    72 Mach 1 Build Date

    Are you going to paint it back to it's original color??? Light Pewter is a nice shade of silver. Can you see any silver paint anywhere on the car: trunk, door jams, interior areas?
