1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Fastback Q Code

1973 Mustang Mach 1 Q code Fastback matching-numbers vehicle with factory a/c, power steering, disc brakes, 351 Cleveland 4V (Cobra Jet) engine, 9 inch rear end, and automatic transmission. Beautiful original Saddle Bronze Metallic exterior with medium ginger standard interior. Ford Factory production line markings and tags retained as well as correct decals applied inside and out. This was the final production year of the big body mustang representing the last gasp of the Detroit muscle car era.
Ground up, nut and bolt concours restoration of an unmolested, original, extremely rust-free, and straight Arizona survivor. Every possible effort was taken to maintain originality in all aspects of this build while utilizing the highest quality parts and labor combined with the utmost attention to detail. This restoration is the culmination of over 1000 man hours of labor, performed by a father and son with over combined 80 years of experience in the field of automotive repair and restoration.
The mission of this project was to resurrect a true American classic muscle car while staying true to the spirit and authenticity of the brand. No modifications or alterations were made and the vehicle now appears as it did when it rolled off the Ford assembly line in 1973.
This car drives and operates beautifully, starts right up and cruises down the road in style. These Mustangs have seen a recent rise in popularity and value and are considered very collectable. The asking price is based on current market value and condition. For the money, there is not a nicer example available, nor could one be built of equal quality.
