My Car
1971 Mustang Mach 1 Yellow gold
So this is my second Mach 1 as yall know I’ve bought since August. This one is basically the body and I have you know the motor transmission out of it already it’s almost all packed up ready to be shipped the car is ready to go we just have to go through all the rules on you know crate shipping motors and he’s given me quite a bit of extra parts like extra doors and fenders that are still good so if I don’t need any of them which I don’t think I will I’ll let you guys if somebody needs some you know I’ll let you guys know on that but back to my question it. It’s doing to be my showcar and not my Road race weekend fun mach like my yellow one that you guys are off familiar with. This car is not painted or anythingIt is primed basically so there’s no seeing what it looked liked before.

But I have the marti report and my question is it’s a light pewter metallic but I’m trying to figure out if it had the mach stripes on the hood and down the sides and along the bottom. Does anyone know if it’s not in the marti report does that mean it doesn’t have them. But then again the murder report on my yellow one didn’t have anything about the lower stripe on the bottom.or is there a way I can find out like calling Marti’s office etc any help from you experts would be most grateful. I’ve attached the marti report and the car well best photo I have it right now.

questions
How can I find out how the different stripes it would’ve had originally from the hood to downside in the course along the bottom like the one I have has just the one along the bottom I’ve seen Marty reports that only showed like the bottom decals on the options I don’t think the Mary report always adds the stripes or anything now this is the rare option as you can see in the report of course it’s gonna have the ram error letters on the side of the hood but what about the hood itself the larger striped there and as you know this is the one I’m making into a show car instead of a weekend racer at at the speedway and you know cruiser for my yellow one

I’m going to contact Marty report and see what he says about why you rarely see the hood stripe in a Marti report. I thought it was an option that goes with ram air option.

I’m hoping some of my favorite people in here have time to weight in because these great good of guys really helped navigate so much for these projects I started

I just got off the phone with Marti Report, he was telling me that what you really need is the original sales sticker not quite the one on the window but the one that Ford does not hand over to the buyer, they have access unless someone has already bought it for the car or obtained it somehow. They are emailing me more information about it. Maybe I can solve this mystery. I know the problem is, you have dealerships that add stripes, decals etc, you have people that owned it in the early years that added it. Ill be curious to here the guys that i consider super experts on here on what they think about this. I do want to get it right but theres a chance I may have to make a decision add the hood stripe and side stripes if there is no way to no for sure if it came with them.
