A Q-code coupe with 4 speed.

Now that grabs the attention!

It's not for the faint at heart, but for $4000, it's not a bad deal. There sure aren't many of those around.

Someone needs to go save that one

Check out my posted pic. I have a 73 Q code 4 speed Grande that was t boned and totaled by the insurance company. Before the accident it was mint. I picked it up for a song about 10 years ago. Probably could have fixed it if I really wanted to bad enough but ended up using it as a parts car. Haven't brought myself to spend the money on a Marti report.

Could be a good project. Doesn't look like a rust bucket.

Very similar to the $5.5k '72 Q-code 4-speed I dug up (and passed on) - with exception to the vinyl roof:

Still, both of these cars are wasted efforts to restore, though the Craigslist car may be more attractive simply if it is a factory power brake/disc car. Whether 1-of-1 or otherwise, '71-73 coupes do not have strong enough desirability - yet - to warrant the expense of a restoration.

What town/state is the car in? Disregard, I see the Milwaukee.

$4K seems a bit steep. My 73 Q code grande coupe is 1 of 89 with a 351 CJ with a 4 speed. The 1 of 1 didn't really excite me as much as only 89 built as is. The year, engine, tranny combo are what is important, not the interior/exterior color.

I wouldn't mind having something like this.

I like avocados and guacamole just not for an interior color. What was Ford thinking?

I can't stand that green. I dig the Q-Code, 4 Speed, but the green makes me want to throw up.

Don... it was the 70's... there is a good reason for all those crazy colors... DRUGS. My car started life as triple green grande, horrible.

Milwaukee is only 45 mi from me. I'm going to see if I can get some time to check it out. Would have to sell the wife on another project car though. :-/

If you are able to go please take some more pictures and let us know what you find.

I agree that there is no money in it's restoration I just like the oddness of a Q-code, 4 speed coupe.

We had kitchen appliances about that color when I was a kid back in the 60's/70's
