I only buy cars I can accept the factory color as I despise color changes. I also believe in creating new memories so I wouldn't try to create a past car unless it came that way factory. My Favorite cars are green, but green interior not so much. I would do the factory green, but a black and...

So you are saying it is available as an aftermarket item in a similar design to newer cars?

There is another low mile late model 73 discussed on this site that Marti also says knitted vinyl, but isn't also but is the same pattern the knitted ones were. I'm thinking since you say yours was restored it was changed as the standard design covers were more readily available. I see the...

Nice car. I have a Q code one also. I read somewhere that the 71-73 won the most design awards when new or something like that. It is a great example of 70's design. When people talk down about them, I always think it is more about them than the car. My only complaint is that blind spot on the...

That is a special car. Not sure why the seats look like they have been redone with such low miles. Maybe a Marti report might say something more rare besides Q code and special paint

You didn't mention single or two stage paint. I'm one who would never do a two stage clear coat and only will use the original paint formula as close to factory as possible on a older car. I also find imperfect original survivor cars far more interesting than a new shiny paint car especially an...

I Could never have such a nice car with out knowing the specifics. How do you know the ram air is factory over a well done add on? Your car could be a one of one. Might be a factory "Mach I" Convertible.( More Mach I like than some base 302 Mach 1's. Not implying authentically a Mach 1)

Nice Convertible. Matches my 73 Copper and white loaded Mach. You also added the grill which is a better style than 73. Is it a factory Black Stripes, Hood exterior Decor car?

I Like cars to be a great example of how they were factory built matching the Marti report. I like Factory Stripes, Spoilers etc. , but added later not so much. I prefer a non stripe car and were more common originally, but are less common now because most people added them on. For me Untouched...

Mine for sale on this site was ordered as close as you can get to a Mach I convertible from the factory. The original owner wanted a Mach I convertible. Marti report verified ones like this are rare. After market ones are a dime a dozen and many times done wrong with chrome parts etc.. I read...

I prefer them the way ford made them 6cyl. and all. Maybe some vintage performance stuff at most. One of my favorites is the elusive factory 64-66 6cyl. 4sp. . I own a factory 84 Turbo Gt as a standard 4cy. car doesn't really do it for me. If I want a 71-73 performance V8 I stick to a M, Q , R...

Standard interior on 71's and 72's were plain vinyl and so were some 73 convertibles that had 71-72 standard interior even though literature says only interior decor option was standard in 73 Convertibles which is knitted vinyl as this cars sales invoice says. With out adding another "A" to...

The vinyl I've seen was smoother. I didn't even know you could get sports interior with smooth vinyl centers until I bought a Mach I with it, but it had it in the trim code as such unlike this one. I think mine was GAA. The vinyl type looks wrong to me and more like a cheesy aftermarket vinyl...

Why does the Marti say knitted vinyl seats and the seats look like a more grained vinyl that Doesn't look factory to me?

If the engine needs rebuilding it needs to be rebuilt. Sometimes they just need gaskets and some refreshing on low mileage cars. I have a mostly untouched engine still going strong after 49 years with 83K miles. I don't think bolt on parts will detract from the value either as it seems most...

How about keeping it untouched as much as possible as untouched cars are rare and getting rarer especially plain jane coupes. In good condition they drive nice. That is the best part of your car that I see that will start being erased even if it is only bolt on parts that can be changed back...

Just put the window switches in the factory locations. Am I missing something?

Selling my original 1973 Q code Convertible originally optioned to be a "Mach 1 " Convertible. I am the Second Long term owner since 2002 (was flipped to me from someone who bought it from the original owner's widow). All original panels with original paint including black hood and stripes...

If I have my facts right. An original owner of the documented most loaded (maybe all options available and 4sp.) 73 Mach with low miles in excellent original condition a few years ago couldn't find someone to pay $25.000. I don't think it must have been marketed enough though as it sounded like...

There is supposed to be a vin underneath somewhere. A 71 Boss I had 40 years ago had to be verified by the highway patrol because it was from out of state. Would need to have your original panels underneath which sounds like you do. Also a 68 Shelby of mine had one underneath. I believe...
