    Anyone find these under your carpet?

    I have three 73 Mustangs. Two very late production Mach 1s and an early production convertible. Each of them have had these small yellow cap plugs under the carpet on the drivers side rear. It must have been some kind of protective cover for something being installed at the time. Anyone else...

    Correct Fan and Spacer for 73 351C-2V

    I just pulled this fan and spacer off of my 73 convertible. The previous owner must have installed this for some reason. It’s a steel 4 bladed fan with a 1966 number on it with a 1971 spacer. I installed a five bladed flex fan with a 2 1/2 inch spacer like my other 73s have. My car is an early...

    Correct Color for Standard 1973 Grille

    The previous owner of my 73 convertible painted the sides of the standard grille near the headlights ivy green to match the body paint. I have removed the grille to strip it. I can’t stand to look at it any longer. It looks like the original color of the grille was not black but a gray or...

    Parts Wanted Panel below driver’s side headlight bucket needed

    1973 Mach 1 - I just noticed that the steel panel below my drivers side headlamp bucket is totally missing. It looks like the body shop forgot to put it back on.

    Rubber Fuel Line Replacement - What’s Best?

    I was replacing my fuel lines today on my 73 convertible. When I got to the rubber portions, they felt a little soft. I cut one open to see what was going on and was shocked to see the level of deterioration of these fuel lines. They are Gates 4219BG Barricade Greenshield with a date code of...

    Any Ideas on What This Is?

    I have a 66K original mile 73 convertible that has never been apart and never modified in any way. I removed the speedometer gauge cluster for a good cleaning and came across a black plastic pipe on the top of the steering column and parallel to the right of the ignition switch rod. The pipe...

    1973 Ivy Glow Convertible

    Just got the Marti report for my new convertible. All options are still on the car except the trim rings/hub caps. I assume that those were the Ford corporate dog dish type. It just has the standard hubcaps on it now. I just looked up that Ford dealership in Kent, Washington and they are still...

    73 H Code Convertible Project

    I just picked up this 73 Ivy Glow Mustang convertible. It's an H code 351C-2V with an FMX transmission. It still has all of its pollution control stuff attached.

    My Old 1973 Mach 1 is now in New Zealand!

    Over the last 10 years I have been keeping an eye out for my old 73 Mach 1 (3F05H253351). I bought the car in Illinois when I was in high school in 1977 and later sold it in 1986 in Anaheim, California. I always thought in the back of my mind that it ended up in a crusher in California. I...

    AM 8 Track is Back in the Mustang

    The original AM 8 Track player in my Mustang has been sitting in a box since 1983. I finally got around to locating a belt for it and re-installed it during my interior renovation recently. It plays great along with the new speakers I found on line. The 8 track belt is 13.5" in circumference...

    Blower Motor Fan - What goes Here?

    I am refurbishing my heater box on the 73 Mach 1 (no AC). I removed the blower motor fan to find a big hole in the body of the motor where it looks like there should be a plug. I looked inside the heater box and didn't see anything in there except leaves and dirt. Does anyone have a picture of a...

    Rocketman Tach Conversion - Installation Wiring Question

    I recently had Rocketman convert my original style tachometer in my 73 Mach 1. I have a Pertronix ignition. Rocketman's wiring diagram indicates that the switched +12V supply can be tapped off of the OEM tach wiring coming off of the + side of the coil. Isn't that where the resistor wire resides...

    Lesson Learned

    After spending plenty of money on the restoration of my 73 Mach 1 back in 2013, I have yet to put any miles on the car.  I had the original engine rebuilt by a friend of mine that owns his own engine shop. He gave me a good discount on the job but the problem is that the engine has never run...
