The Q-Code designation on this 1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1 signifies Ford's top-tier 351 cubic inch Cobra Jet V8, making it a rare and potent machine. As the final year of the first-generation Mustang, this Mach 1 represents the pinnacle of early '70s muscle car engineering. Its Medium Yellow Gold exterior exudes bold confidence, accentuated by the iconic Mach 1 styling cues. The functional hood scoop, rear window louvers, and aerodynamic rear spoiler all contribute to its aggressive stance. Rolling on 15-inch Magnum 500 wheels, this Mustang wears P245/60R15 front and P255/60R15 rear Cooper Cobra Radials, providing ample grip for its considerable power.
Inside, the Medium Ginger interior transports you to the heyday of American muscle. Vinyl-wrapped bucket seats offer both comfort and period-correct style. The factory Hurst shifter, prominently positioned in the center console, invites spirited driving. Additional gauges above the radio provide crucial engine information at a glance. Modern amenities like the Classic Auto Air system and AM/FM radio blend seamlessly with the vintage aesthetics, enhancing the driving experience without compromising authenticity.
Opening the hood reveals the crown jewel of this Mustang - a 351 Cleveland Cobra Jet V8. This powerplant, believed to be original, is a sight to behold in its Ford Blue glory. It's mated to a robust Toploader 4-speed manual transmission, putting full control in the driver's hands. The engine bay showcases meticulous attention to detail, featuring a Flamethrower ignition system and a new Edelbrock EVS2 4-barrel carburetor. The dual exhaust system with Quiet Flow mufflers provides a fitting soundtrack for this muscle car icon, without being overly intrusive.
