Are you sure it's a 73? The VIN says "3", does the title have the same number?
Looks like someone rebuilt it with 71 or 72 parts.
The front end is a 71 or 72 Mach1 (grill, bumper, fenders).
The flip open gas cap and bumper are 71 or 72 Mach1 too. (someone added bumper guards)

I want to thank all of you on this forum for your help!! You all helped educate me on this car and Ford drive train components and numbers etc. The car is sold pending payment and I couldnt have done as well with out the knowledge you all armed me with. Thanks a ton!!
