1973 Mach 1 Q-code

[MountainMach]

Hi everyone. Wanted to say hi and make a quick introduction. My name is Robin, and I picked up this dream car of mine in May of this year. I wish everyone a very happy holiday season and a successful new year :beer: . Catch you in the forums

Thanks for the reply! How far apart were their build dates? Would be neat to find one or more assembly line buddies of this car.

Edit: In case it flew under your radar, my car was originally "Gold Glow". It was repainted red, early in its life. After that, when it was finally restored, from an already very clean state, they made it this metallic green'ish color. Kind of a shame it didn't end up back to original, but I like it anyway.

Same build date as well! Beautiful car too. I'm a big fan of white interiors. They don't get nearly as hot in summer time. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you guys! Its great to see so many of these cars all on one cool forum. They are a rarity in my area, compared to the pre '71 era cars.

Welcome from central Illinois.  I also have `73 Mach 1 Q code that was similar to yours when original, gold glow with 3/4 black vinyl roof.  I wish mine had the white interior and some of the other options on yours.  Very nice car!  I like the color and the Cragars!

Welcome to the forum from North Carolina. I am an original owner of 1973 Mach 1 with 12,000 miles. Hope they kept the vinyl roof.

:welcome:  from Germany, Robin. 

I have a '73 with a 351C 4v and 4-speed in now Gold Glow again (as originally painted from the factory) and the original 3/4-vinyl-roof will be on there again, too, this summer. The fresh skin is already in the garage  :thumb:

Although not your original paint color it was an original paint color for the 71-73 Mustang (grabber green?) and it looks very good in that combination. Be proud of it and drive it  as is  :runninpony:
