I'm Chris ( from France ) and I'm actually looking for informations about a Ford Mustang Mach 1 351ci Cleveland Medium Copper Metallic I've just bought this year, it has been sold by Friendly Ford in '73 ( by the help of my Marti's Report...).
It's one of the last sold in '73. There were 2 identical twins Mach 1 sold by this dealer. My Mustang is actually recognized as a quite rare model... So, if any one could be able to provide me any kind of informations, photos, whatever, about this Ford Dealer in the beginning of the 70's, the best will be about this car???... I'll really appreciate ! I have the name of the last american owner, in Southgate MI, that sold this car to be brought in France in 2014.
Here's my email for anyone to provide me informations :

Merci beaucoup !

The two natural gas low pressure holding tanks on left are at the Peoples Gas yard at 15779 W Dixie Hwy. I was hired in 1973 at Peoples and helped demolish the old gas plant that was built in the 20s. It was going to be built on Miami Beach it was decided a better location would be Fulford by the sea.

Mark, you are correct sir. I've added a sentence saying that in the above description. I don't know why I didn't do it when I posted the photo almost 4 years ago. Thank you for your comment.

This later became Friendly Ford, if I'm not mistaken. My father sold cars there when we moved to Miami from Chicago in 1967.
