1971 Mustang Mach 1 Yellow gold
So this is my second Mach 1 I’ve bought since August. This one is not out together which is how I wanted it. It’s doing to be my showcar and not my Road race weekend fun mach. It is primed basically so there’s no seeing what it looked liked before.

But I have the marti report and my question is it’s a light pewter metallic but I’m trying to figure out if it had the mach stripes on the hood and down the sides and along the bottom. Does anyone know if it’s not in the marti report does that mean it doesn’t have them or is there a way I can find out like calling Marti’s office etc any help from your experts would be most grateful. I’ve attached the marti report

if the car has not been painted and has the lower chrome body trim on the sides it did not come with side stripes. Not sure on the hood. below are example I just searched for on the web,

Marti isn't perfect, but there's a 99.9% chance that if it's not on the report, it didn't come with them. Based on the report, your car would look just like the pewter Mach 1 tnfastback posted. The only exterior difference would be the 15" steel wheels vs the 14" on the car in the photo.

The 71-72 Mach 1 did not come with body side stripes unless it was specifically ordered with them. It should be noted as such on the Marti Report as "Body Side Tape stripes" or something similar.

The contrasting paint pattern on the hood was included and only available with Ram Air for 71-72. That would also be noted on the Marti Report as "Ram Air option". It also included the ram air ducting under the hood, the air filter setup, chrome twist locks and hold down brackets on the radiator support.

It is the ram air option. It says body stripe on your report there but does they include the hood decal ? Or you have the ram air option would that always come with the hood decal and I mean the large stripe not the words ram air on side of hood. My other Mach 1 has the stripe along the bottom only I’ll post a photo of it and it’s marti report he has nothing about a body stripe on it. Thanks for y’all trying to assist to take the time. Keep in mind this is the one I got in August the one I just bought Its being packed up and shipped across several states so I don’t have it yet and it’s not painted at all just primer
