This Mach I Is The Last Of The Big Breed (http://www.highperformancestangs.com/featuredvehicles/mdmp_1001_1973_mustang_mach_1/index.html)Tony Paulek's '73 Mustang Mach I
Tony and Teresa Paulek of Springfield, Illinois, are the original owners of this mildly modified '73 Mustang Mach I-lucky enough to actually have ordered the car new in 1972 with just the options they wanted. When delivery day came on February 27, 1973, the Mach I odometer read a scant 0.3 miles. As the Mustang was unloaded off the car hauler and had its first wash job, Tony remembers writing out the check for $2,970.25-the balance due after subtracting the value of his trade in. He still has the cancelled check sitting in an envelope with all of the Mustang's other paperwork. Tony can also remember being told by the dealership to stop by the gas station and put in five dollars worth of gas "on the house." It nearly filled the tank. Gasoline cost about 36 cents per gallon; we can remember those days very well.inline_mediumwraptextrightLike many other vehicles from the '73 model year, the front end of this Mustang had an energy-absorbing front bumper while the rear bumper arrangement had yet to be changed. For '74, the big-bodied Mustangs were gone and replaced by the Mustang II, which had energy-absorbing bumpers both front and rear.27265921/featuredvehicles/mdmp_1001_1973_mustang_mach_1mdmp_1001_01_+1973_ma ch_1+front_end.jpgTrue
