    73 Grande full vinyl top bright edge trim / molding

    As far as I know all 3 years, 71-73 either had the black or the white paint on the trim. I replaced all my top trim with NOS Ford trim. Only colors I've seen were black and white. I was able to get most of the pieces in white, but a couple were black. I ended up repainting all of them white so...

    73 Grande full vinyl top bright edge trim / molding

    The trim is painted correctly as it came from the factory. Lower half of the trim is the bright silver anodized aluminum with the top half being painted either white or black depending on the roof covering color.

    73 Coupe Door Sill Plates

    As I recall there is a cardboard filler panel that goes over top of the dip in the rocker panel, so the carpet doesn't sag into it. Carpet goes under the edge of the sill plate.

    73 Coupe Door Sill Plates

    Door sill plates look correct. Looks like someone cut the carpet too short. The carpet goes up over the top of the rocker and under the sill plate. I made that mistake, so I know. Had to buy another carpet set. Expensive mistake. I have the repo sill plates in my car, other than being a little...

    Ford Carlisle

    I didn’t find any parts I really needed. My car is totally restored so not much I need. Need a few avocado interior pieces but they are hard to find. Limited space in a Mustang to take home any kind of large items anyway. The green Grande is my car. Had my 71-73 mustangs.com t shirts on both...

    OEM AM/FM radio repair

    Hi Chuck, I have had two car radios repaired by Retro Radio Restoration in Elizabethtown, PA. https://retroradio.biz/. 1st one was my AM/FM stereo in my 1973 Grande.

    I ordered the wrong heater hose

    I got the A/C hose set for my 73 Grande and there are two molded ends on each hose. Both Molded ends come off of the heater core. One that is S shaped goes between the heater core and heater control valve. By having the molded ends it does help put the hoses and control valve up higher and keeps...

    73 Grande Hardtop

    HI, that's a good looking Mustang you have there. Looks like mine with avocado interior and the 4C green exterior. Good luck on finding that side trim. I was lucky to find a complete NOS set on eBay awhile ago. I looked for many years for it. It took 8 years to restore mine. Been in the family...

    4K - 71 Mach 1 for sale near DC

    Ebay buyer must have paid for the car. Drove by the house yesterday and the Mustang is gone, just a pile of leaves laying around where it used to sit. It was still there Thursday afternoon so they must have got it over the weekend.

    4K - 71 Mach 1 for sale near DC

    I actually drive by this car every afternoon after work. Its on Greentree Road in Bethesda, MD. It has been sitting there in that same position as long as the seller says. The car cover was only put on sometime during this summer. Little too late to keep the tree leaves and debris from rotting...
