My New 73 Mach 1

[Steve73QMach1]

I purchased another 73 Mach 1 from the original owner for my garage yesterday. My son and I drove 800 miles yesterday to get it home. I will be adding pics to my garage later but here are a few from my cell phone for now. The car has a repaint that is OK but it only has 53,600 original miles. It's a Q code car with a four speed and is nicely optioned (AM 8 track, PS, PB, three spoke wheel, PW, rear defrost, console, fold down). the seats are still covered with the plastic seat cover installed at the dealer. the car needs some clean up work and a tune up but what a blast to drive!

Very nice Congrats.

Thanks guys! He also gave me all of the original papers on the car including the order form he filled out on 5/16/73 with the options he wanted and the price per option. He ordered Magnum 500 chrome wheels but the car was delivered with the forged aluminum wheels that are still on it today. He said the dealer told him the the Magnum 500's were no longer available. He took delivery of the car on 7/10/73.

There is only one major thing I can see wrong with this Mustang.

It is not a convertible.

How did you find it?
