Mach 1 Club

Ok Expert guys..I've been around Mustangs almost my entire life even called upon to verify some issues but this one has me stumped big time, I just bought this 73 Mach 1 out of the Desert from the family of the original owner complete original car down to the numbers matching engine, Here is my concern, At first glance I saw the seats and thought someone replaced them with 69-70 Mach 1 Seats, However upon further investigating I notice the rear fold down seat has the exact same material and the bolts have never been touched since 73. Is it possible that this was leftover parts installed on this 73?

Sure look like 69 seats except the release on the seat back is higher on the 69 seats.

but that just the thing..i looked carefully at the bolts and they don't have any marks on them nor where they mount, i just never seen this style before..im waiting for the marti report from the person i bought it from and he says something about a sebring knit???

I agree with both Bob and Steven. The front seats definitely look very close to 69/70 Mach 1 with the stripe just below the head rest. But as Bob mentioned the release lever is much lower than that of the 69 Mach 1. I did locate a set of similar front seats online that appear to be the exact seats in a 70 Mach 1 seats with the release lever in the lower portion of the seat.

The rear fold down seats seem consistent with the 71/73 Mach 1. If you have or get a Marti report for this vehicle it will identify if you car came with the comfort weave seats and the fold down seats in the rear. This may help answer your question if these seats are original to your car or if they were swapped out at some point.

Those are 70 mach 1 front seats - someone changed them

Your door tag will be GA if it came with black Mach 1 sport seats
