1973 Mach 1

1973 Mach 1 original H code 351c
Rebuilt into a 408c with the original rebuilt C6. Bought it in 2003, engine rebuild 2006-2007 and spent several years cruising around. It’s now been sitting for about 1 1/2 years while waiting to redo the electrical and fix the hood where I dropped a storage tote on it. These pictures are certainly from the glory years but it’s not far removed.
The wheels are repro’s that I bought, the center caps were FOMOCO authorized reproductions that came in the correct blue parts bag. I installed all the center caps to get the original slotted mag look with a bigger wheel. Thanks for checking out my Mustang

Welcome to the site! Great looking '73! Look forward to seeing your progress on getting it finished up. Don't hesitate to join in the conversations.

Welcome from Chicago! Good looking Mach, I like the factory caps look on the bigger aluminum slots. One question, what is the aluminum part mounted on the core support on the drivers side? I can't say I have ever seen anything like that on a car.

That is a trans fluid cooler. When the engine was rebuilt they included it. I’m not entirely sure it was necessary because even though I enjoy getting on the gas I’ve never come close to pushing this build to the limits. Cheap insurance I suppose but I really wish it was mounted somewhere else.
