Q code is more important when discussing values. Looks like you have a nice-looking car in nice colors with the decor option. Also, your possible original condition rules in my book. I would keep it as stock as possible, but to each their own. 72's are better looking and more desirable than...
Kevin or anyone, Do you know the numbers of the exterior decor, stripe, tu tone hood options? My Marti doesn't mention the numbers. Also, Julie. Nice car and story. Look up Marti Auto Works for info on your car and post here if you get any results.
Aren't there also other costs that make it higher that was paid like buyer premium etc.. I know bright lime is desirable, but with green interior? Never could get used to that combo and I'm a green fan. I would rather have my 73 convertible in it's present condition that I'm selling than that...
Probably a long shot, but does Marti have databases on all yellow Bosses made and how many are still around? Any chance finding that elusive number if it hasn't been ground also and doing an anonymous check for theft or if possible? Does this seem to be a Frankenstein car with all different date...
People nowadays rear end because of electronic devices it seems. I don't know what the odds are, but memories are priceless unless it is about a horrible accident. A newer car may not save lives either. I don't believe in living in fear, but don't have kids. I wouldn't always have them with me...
I consider it a 72 Mach I. A completely modified one missing much of a 72 Mach 1's original essence. A Mach 1 I don't appreciate, but do appreciate her enthusiasm. For me the less a car is touched the better. Even a plain jane 6cyl in an undesirable color. I think Ford got them right.
With the exterior decor group which your car appears to have , it should have the Mach1 type grill. Alot of times they are changed when an accident occurs. A Marti report might tell more. Also it would look better with the missing chrome on the grill replaced. Not criticizing as it still looks...
The best 72 Mach I should be the most loaded R code in any restorable condition. Is it out there? I haven't seen a 73 Mach 1 I like better than mine and don't think I ever will, but I'm sure others will think elsewise. I did see a 72 Mach H code with period Hurst T tops Black on Black originally...
I won't bash you and even won't mention anything about didgiting or anything. Go to Marti auto works and get some valuable info on your car. Get a Marti report and the original window sticker at the least
Another article on why our cars are green. More ammo for the fools telling us our cars are polluters. Our cars are bargains compared to paying 40K plus for a depreciating boring disposable car. We don't need airbags etc. , we are dare devils...
Welcome. Car looks nice. Great to be passed down in family. Like exterior decor with a flat hood, but has the grill been replaced? Marti, more pics or original sales invoice available?
