    Looking for 1973 Mach 1 “Q” code

    Good luck with your search. I am the original owner of my car VIN 3F05Q261447 and it looks like yours came earlier. Mine arrived in Ontario, Canada in mid July, 1973. I hope you find yours because they are really great cars.

    Allegedly 1 of 1 PW window 73 Convertible

    The engine is the original one it came with but I had it rebuilt (rings were worn) and that increased the bore (now 40 over) which required new pistons. That changed the compression (we chose 10.5:1). I have the original Motorcraft carb but 10 yrs. after rebuild, the motor would shut off while...

    Exhaust Question

    I had my exhaust installed at a muffler shop and the clearance is fine. This was done custom. This year I added Flowmaster 40 series mufflers. Awesome!

    Turbo vs supercharger

    The stock 351C comes with 8:1 compression. I increased mine to 10.5:1 and it must have added 120 h.p. All I can say is that I really felt it. Also, the carburetor has small jetting. These cars were built during the oil embargo so the word was out and the manufacturers had to cut horsepower and...

    Photos of my 73 Mach 1

    73 Blue Mach 1's mostly had argent stripes. I don't know if black was available on a Blue car.

    That's a nice one and worth restoring. Looks like you have the aluminum wheels also (only available on 73). I restored my 73 Mach 1 about 10 years ago and now I am really enjoying it. These are great cars and the Cleveland motor is a good one also. Good luck with it.

    Boss 351 on Barrett Jackson

    Those guys are ignorant. I have a 73 Mach 1 Q code 4 spd. and recently did a total nut and bolt restoration including refreshing the motor (40 over) and upping the compression to 10.5:1. Recently I am trying out a ProForm 670cfm carb in lieu of the stock Motorcraft (needs work). The power...

    Free black console body

    If the car was a 4 spd. there should be a trim piece that fits around the shifter boot at the floor. If you have that, I'm interested.
