Standard Marti Report

 So what was ordered way back in 1972.

Back in 1972 when the car was ordered, there was a option list as long as your arm that could be chosen from.

For my Mach 1 the options added were modest.

Here is a breakdown based on a Standard Marti report that I have just received.

Serial Number 2F05H232551

The breakdown of the serial number is as follows:

2  - 1972

F  - Built at Dearborn

05 -  Mustang Mach I 2-Door SportsRoof

H  - 351-2V V-8 Engine

232551  - Serial Number of this Ford scheduled for production at Dearborn

The door tag shows the following:

07/72 July, 1972

Colour - Body - 63R - Mustang Mach I 2-Door SportsRoof

Paint - 6F  - Gold Glow Metallic Paint, Ford #5079-A

Trim - AF  - Ginger Vinyl Standard Bucket Seats

Trans - X  - FMX Select Shift Automatic Transmission

Axle - 2 -  2.75 Conventional Rear Axle

DSO - 71 - Los Angeles DSO (District Sales Office)

DEALER #: 71B055

Your vehicle was equipped with the following features:

- Body Side Tape Stripes

- California Emission System

- E70X14 Belted White Sidewall Tires

- Power Steering

- Sport Deck Rear Seat

- AM Radio

- Tinted Glass

- Sports Wheel Covers

The only change to the car based on what was ordered is the radio. It now has a period correct AM/FM radio installed. The rest is unchanged.

The sports wheel covers, while not awesome looking, are the originals.

The person ordering the car would have chosen to option up a base 1972 mustang with the following:

Mach 1 pack with Sports roof

Larger capacity V8 engine up from a 302 to a 351.

Heavy duty FMX transmission.

2.71:1 diff ratio

Gold glow paint 

Ginger trim

Power steering

Tinted glass

Body stripes

Sports wheel covers.

So the car is not a standard base model vehicle.

The colours available at the time were per this colour chart.
