1972 mach1 30 year affair

[mrmach1]

I've owned this beauty since 1984 but I've known the car since it was first delivered to the local Ford dealership in July of 1972. It's a Q code 351 backed by a top loader 4 speed. The interior is a deluxe sports interior with silver accents and a full length console. Magnum 500 wheels on the corners. I've added a few options over the years like the 1971 flip down gas cap. I've kept it this long and have no plans of ever parting with it until they bury me. I hope to live a long time.

Nice looking car, don't blame you for not wanting to part with it. I have the same feelings about mine.

Such a great story and very nice looking ride.

It's a shame that you can't take it out today.

Maybe you need to move west or south to be able to enjoy it year round.

Very nice color combo. And I love the rear window louvers. Too bad I can't have them on my convertible. That would have been my #1 choice as an upgrade.

Well-done. Your 72 is gorgeous, something to be proud of; reflects your care and attention to detail; all the right options on a 72: beautiful color with argent accents, Q Code, deluxe interior, full console....welcome to the forum from west central fl

Welcome to the site.. Brings back memories a friend of ours had a 72 same color same engine ( which he ordered0, no vinyl top and just a plain hood. I had my 73 convertible (which I ordered) when I met him still friends but now he has a 90 Mustang 5.0 convertible..7up edition (low mileage car). Wishes he never got rid of his 72.
