1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Coupe 2D

• Yellow paint with black Mach 1 striping is glossy and even in the driveway photos, panels straight in the 12 viewed - no paint budget from these photos.
• The door data plate is photographed and legible - body 63R Mach 1, trim GA - so the Mach 1 claim can be checked against the numbers.
• Black-and-grey interior looks tidy: seats smooth, dash and wheel clean, Mach 1 floor mats in place.
• The engine bay is honest rather than detailed: blue plug wires and a chrome air cleaner over visible grime and tired surfaces around the bay.
• Several exterior angles repeat the same driveway views, and there are no underside photos - the floors and frame cannot be judged.

Money: at $45,000 the body, paint and interior look the money in these photos; the engine-bay presentation and the unseen underside are where a buyer should push before paying show-car money.
