Welcome to the club! Your car and our "Q" code Mach could pass for twins almost! Our serial numbers are identical except the last 3 digits, yours is 411, mine is 891.

351-4v CJ, C-6, 9" 3.25 locker, power windows, power disc, power steering, deluxe interior, long console, Naca hood, front and rear spoilers, etc.

 
Welcome to the site! Your Mach looks in great condition for a restoration. Looks like someone switched out the original Mach 1 Honey Comb grill for the standard 73 Mustang grill. The honeycomb grills were not available for a long time until recently. Those wheels appear to be original to the 73 Mustang only as an option, 72 was the last year for the Magnum 500 wheels. You might want to consider taking them to a wheel shop and get them polished and restored. It seems like I remember someone quoting around $100.00 a wheel for that. The center caps are also available in reproduction. Ohio Mustang has them. Good luck and keep the posts and pictures coming.
Sounds right on the grill. The floors are a real sloppy job that don't really line up well- I'm thinking the floors weren't being made yet either when they did them. They will probably get done next winter.

I might take a shot at doing the wheels myself. Dosen't seem to be too much clear coat on them if any. Shouldn't take to long to hit them with a little wetsandpaper, then polish. For now I have 03 Mach wheels on it.



Bad side actually looks great! ::welcome::
The "good side" looks a little better.

This is the good side (pic flipped in photoshop) with the Mach wheels

:cool: no rear spoiler on mine (obviously) and the hood wasn't painted from the factory (per the guy I bought it from who did the older restoration to it)
