1973 Sprint/Mach 1 Mexican

(Admittedly this is all irrelevant, since the 1973 Mexican Mustang Sprint design in question was a Ford of Mexico product, with no Shelby de Mexico, S.A. involvement. )

Oooops, my bad!

I found the article while trying to search out some info for the original poster of this thread...and when I found it, I didn't actually stop and think about the fact that it is a Sprint, not a Shelby (or in this case, Shelby de Mexico).

Apologies for my error...the "Grrr " makes me think this may be a sore spot for you per chance?

Seriously, I do appreciate the correction...I do hate to give wrong info, especially when I am trying to help others out.

Hi , im from mexico my brother in law has a 1973 mach I sprint version,let me talk to him so he can gime some pictures, his car has 351 v8,if need sometinh else let me know?

FYI for what it's worth the door panels on the Mach 1 Sprint are from a 70 cougar with the decor interior except for the funky little add on thing at the top that is similar to the top door trim of a 69/70 standard interior mustang but made to fit the 70 cougar panels to the 71-73 mustang doors.

Try the local Mexican embassy, they might have a line on something you might be able to use.
