ONE OF ONE Mach 1, Q code 351. RARE 4 speed with AC combination

1973 Ford Mustang Description

1973 Mach 1 Numbers Matching Car

I bought this Q code, Hurst 4 speed with AC in 2004 and she has been garage kept since. The included Marti Report shown in the photos document this to be a one of one Mustang for 1973. I have only painted the car in 12 years and done routine maintenance. You may have seen her on Ebay recently but I canceled the auction because “with a little help from my friends” we pulled a valve cover and the starter to determine that the block, heads and transmission are indeed correct by production casting numbers and dates for the March 1973 manufacture date.

Features:

- This car cranks immediately, NO smoke, accelerates strong and drives well.

- Correct 351 Cleveland engine block and heads by casting numbers and production dates

- Correct 9" 3.25:1 rear end by VIN, required with AC cars. - No tag.

- Correct 4 speed by transmission tag RUG-BJ1 with Hurst shifter

- Correct AutoLITE 4300 4B carb

- AC tag correct with build date 02/73. AC works! Converted.

- The intake manifold has a performance upgrade with a Shelby model (951D-9424-D). Easy to return to original if desired.

- Electronic ignition.

- PS and alternator do not have date tags.

- Glass is very good.

- Fold down back seat

- Sweet sounding exhaust sound has no leaks.

- Seats and dash without tears or significant wear.

- Power steering and power brakes (front disk).

- Original forged aluminum wheels.

- Tachometer works.

- The factory vinyl 3/4 roof was removed by the previous owner. Easy to replace if desired.

- The AM/FM radio was working at the time I installed an under dash modern radio. I believe it to be fine as it the red station light on the unit comes on at the appropriate frequency for local stations.

- Tires with 60-70 tread remaining.

- No trunk or floor pan rust.

- Front end is sound.

- Lighting, brakes, transmission work good.

Issues:

1- Rt door, front lower with a ¼” paint bubble.

2- rear bumper with barely detectable inward bend.

3- front spoiler with two small bends from parking curbs.

4- engine bay clean but not dressed out.

5- driver door edge with small chips where I have opened it into the wall beside where she is garaged.

6-Only interior injury is 2 in crack in driver door arm rest now covered with electrical tape.

7- Oil pan non-leaking weld from when I bought the car (in photos).

8- Fuel gauge not working (gauge or sending unit?)

This is a top of the line solid driver quality car. A one of one production with many desirable features. I have sought to accurately describe this car. I can email additional pictures of undercarriage, tires and casting numbers upon request.
