Hi everyone,
Just found the site and looking forward to it. I recently purchased a 73 Mach which I plan to restore to original. It has almost every option available in 73 and according to the Marti report was used as a "Sales Vehicle". Still trying to run down significance of this and what intent of car was when built.

Hi Jeff...Welcome to the site. I did a little research and found the following regarding the significance of a "Sales Vehicle":
A "Sales Vehicle" is ordered by the Zone office and used by the Zone Manager or other staff member in the field to visit the dealers in that zone. They typically keep the car for 1 year and not supposed to put more than 12,000 miles on it.
FORD MOTOR COMPANY
P.O. BOX 37505
OMAHA NE 68137
If you connect the dots, this would most likely explain why your car has so many of the available options offered. Sounds like you got a good one!

Welcome Jeff,
It looks like Mike has filled you in on the simple details of the "sales vehicle" status of your car.
