Thanks Stanglover for the info. It seems like these are very hard to find and expensive. Will just go without it for now until one turns up. Was considering a cooler from another Ford car or truck to use also. These are less $$$ but will require some creative attachment/placement. Has anyone out...

Thanks Giantpune for your response. I see a lot of 71-73 mustangs without the cooler. I read somewhere that Ford installed the cooler if the car had the competition suspension package which included a larger and different power steering unit. Has anyone heard of this? Also anybody else seen any...

Hi everyone. Such a great forum for all of us 7173 fans! Will soon be reinstalling my '73 verts #351c 4V motor that I have just had rebuilt. Took several months to finish as many Howards Roller Cams were back ordered until September. While waiting for the engine I had time to consider whether to...

Wow! You have a beautiful car there. All the time, effort and care shows. Great job! So glad you had the patience to keep at it for 41 years....

A must see when in the area! The day we were there some lucky guy was taking delivery of his recently completed Super Snake. Big Smile!

Rackerm, Beautiful car! Hope to meet you sometime. Thanks for car show info. Rick

Rackerm, Do you ever make it up to PA. for any car shows? Any local mustang club? Would love to see your car at a show. Rick

Also love your car! Super sharp!

Great story! I remember that day too. Lived near Saratoga N.Y. so my whole family was into horse racing and we watched it in amazement. Was only a year older than you and definitely a mustang fan. My dad had a '65 convertible followed by a '73 Grande. Drove those cars all over the place. Loved...

Hi Mac, I did initially think it was Grabber Lime Green so that was what I was looking for on the field. But when I lifted the cover it was yellow so I figured I just saw it wrong in your post pic. Grabber Lime is a very cool color by the way! Maybe you will bring your car some day? Met a guy...

Hi Mac. Thought that might of been your car under the cover. You mentioned you were going and I thought you might of brought your car. It looks like you have a yellow Mach from your post pic. Maybe see you next year!

Was there on Saturday morning and met Grande73. Very nice car! Was looking to meet Mac but he was away from his car which had the car cover still on. I did lift the cover slightly to check the color and saw it was his '71 Mach. Came back about an hour later but still covered. Next year! The...

Is anyone bringing their 71-73 Mustang to Carlisle this weekend? Friday Saturday or Sunday? I believe Mac from Ohio is. Would be nice to meet some members!

Good to hear the various opinions. Such a great forum for 71-73 owners. Thanks all ! I still have time to consider what to do as it is one of the last steps in putting the engine compartment back together.

Thanks Sheriff41 and Spike for your thoughts! The car was sold new in Texas by the way so I bet the a/c was a blessing! I am leaning towards leaving it off with those great storage points.

Would it be detrimental to the compressor etc. to leave it off the car and reinstall down the road? In other words will it be as functional in the future if stored or is it prone to deterioration off the car? Best way to store if any?

Planning to remove the engine in my 73 convertible (with a/c) to examine the bottom end due to low oil pressure. The shop owner doing the work suggested leaving the a/c out of the car when the engine goes back inand plugging the holes in the firewall etc. The a/c unit is functional and blows...

Hi Mac, was planning on taking my 73 convertible since it will be 50 just two weeks later on the 15th but the engine developed oil pressure issues and what sounds like a bad main or rod bearing noise so it is in the shop for a tear down and unfortunately won't be ready in time. Disappointing...

kevken, I too have a special order black 73 Q code convertible. It has a white interior and top. Build date June 15th so close to end of production. Ordered by a Ford executive who went on to start his own dealership outside Dallas in Carrolton. Black looks so sharp! I posted pics and the Marti...

Pulling my 73 Q code motor in March and really appreciate the great pics and comments. Thanks Paul!
