Hello,
I have owned this '72 Mach 1 351CJ several years already and as you can see from below picture, it needs some paint work... at least
My Mach 1 is 2F05Q-coded car with export DSO and metric speedometer. Original exterior colour is 4C (Ivy Glow) & black interior. Acc. to Marti report only 122 made with this colour/trim combination.

Welcome CJ,
Very nice car and even more-so in that you are able to own it in Finland.
Thanks for the picture - looking forward to hearing more about it.

I'd love to hear the story of how that ended up in Finland.

Hi again. How it ended up to Finland?
Mustang was delivered to Newark for Ford Export dpt FIGESO in Jan/72. From there it was sold & shipped most likely directly to Sweden, but I don't have any history data from that time (reminders from Swedish period are licence plate id sand blasted to all windows + modified rear turning lights to fulfill local regulations, see yellow round areas from below picture).
In '99 it was sold to Finland to guy who owned it until I bought this Mustang from him. Seems that car has been used in winter period also, since it has optional rear window el. defrost. I assume that is quite rare option, mainly added to Export cars?
