Man that looks awesome.
 
Beautiful car Mac!
Thanks! My Mach shares my garage with her '66 sister. This year I added a very rare option to the '66 - see "fire missles" - comes in handy with people on phones at red lights!!! :)

Loving that color as well.
"Grabber Lime Green", yep my car was a demo sitting sideways at a Ford dealer back in Jan of 1972. The color caught my eye. Even though I would have preferred a few different options, the color won me over, so for $2,995 I drove it home. Still have it. Turned 41,000 miles this past summer and always garaged during winter time.

My dream car!! First one I ever saw was in Birmingham England in 1972 and I fell in love....... with a car. I've owned 4 now, but the Grabber Lime has eluded me. I thought hard about painting the one I have now, but the history on the car meant it had to stay Light Pewter.

Your M code, 4-speed car is sweet! What color interior? How long have you owed it?

I've owned this one 16 years now. I bought it in the LA area. It is totally rust free, numbers matching and all original steel except for the tail light panel. This car was a very low optioned car, a Plain Jane so to speak, but had all I wanted....... well, mostly. I also have the entire history and documentation from day 1 except for the dealer sales receipt because it was bought new as a graduation present for a young lady, Nice Daddy eh!
The interior is black, originally 1A, but a PO added Mach 1 seat covers. The rest is pretty much original except for carpet.
I have since added PS and PB with discs up front along with a repaint and trim items. To me, it now looks as a Mach 1 should be and not a warmed over Fastback.
Thanks for the kudo's.

Very nice! Looked at your pics in your album, again very nice! Were you at the 60th this past year? I may have seen your car there.

I was at the 60th at the Essex engine plant in Windsor. That is my intro picture.
As for the album, I should look at that again to update.

Grabber Lime for 1971 is the best. Beautiful ride! Is it a M Code?
No, H code (351-2V). My car was a demo so I did not get to choose options. I did make it a 4V by adding a high rise manifold with a 4100 carb and ram air (NOS) after I bought it. Would have selected M code and 4 speed if I had the chance.
