1972 Mustang Sportsroof Mach 1 351C 2v Motor Made in Dearborn, MI

If you can get them to send you a pic of the data plate on the drivers door you can get a lot more info.

2 = 1972 F = Dearborn MI 05 = Mach 1 H = 351c 2V

Other information from the door data plate will give you color, interior color & trim, Transmission, Axel ratio, DSO (District Sales Office or general idea of where the car was originally sold)

I'd say all the following info is correct except for the DSO's listed for each year...
