1973 Mach 1 Cobra Jet “Q Code” in Gold Glow
The 1973 Mustang Mach 1, bearing the serial number 3F05Q245644, represents a classic era of American muscle cars. This particular vehicle was built at the Dearborn plant in June 1973, just six days behind schedule. It boasts a powerful 351 4V V-8 engine and is fitted with a four-speed manual transmission, delivering a driving experience that epitomizes the raw power and performance of the Mustang lineage. The exterior of this Mach 1 is adorned in Gold Glow paint with a Black Levant Vinyl Roof, a combination that highlights its sporty and aggressive design.
This Mustang was sold through Harris Sergeant Inc. in Albion, Pennsylvania. It features a range of desirable options that enhance both its performance and comfort. The car is equipped with a NASA hood, TU-Tone hood paint, and a sport deck rear seat. It also includes power front disc brakes, an AM/8-Track stereo radio, and forged aluminum wheels. The interior is fitted with black knit vinyl bucket seats, part of the Mach 1 sports interior option, adding a touch of class to its rugged appeal. The inclusion of a Traction-Lok differential and F70x14 belted raised white letter tires with factory aluminum wheels further enhances its handling and road grip.
Statistically, this Mustang Mach 1 is a rare gem. It is one of only 3,374 with its specific paint code, 405 with its paint and trim combination, and one of 969 ordered from the Cleveland District Sales Office. Its production run was part of the final years before significant changes were made to the Mustang line, making it a valuable piece of automotive history. This vehicle not only stands out for its performance specifications but also for its unique place in the Mustang's storied legacy.
