1972 Mustang Mach 1 Exterior Trim Help ???s
Hello, I am trying to hook up with the owner of a '72 Mach 1 and haven't had a lot of luck finding exterior trim codes and details.
The car I'm looking at is unrestored and has the same front end as the car on the left in the attached pic, chrome bumper and fender caps.
Can you guys point me to a trim option page that explains what is what with the chrome vs body color front pieces?
Thanks!
Frank

one on the left, looks to be a "Sportsroof" edition with Mach 1 options, vs a factory spec'ed Mach1. One on the right "appears" to be a 73. JMHO, and owner of a 72 Sportsroof.

1973 Mustangs went to new grille designs with vertically positioned clear turn signal lamps. The front bumper was redesigned and made beefier to pass 1973 5 mph impact standards. All 1973 Mustangs had body colored front bumpers, hood and fender moldings.
This is the grille of a 1973 Mach 1...
It's easy to see in the original Ford brochures how models were factory equipped and optioned.

That helps. The VIN is a Mach 1 vin but the fenders have Mustang badging and the chrome looked incorrect. Still haven't had a chance to hook up with the owner.
Thanks for the info.
BTW, VIN is 2F05Hxxxxxx
05 is sportsroof Mach 1, correct? So if I have it right, there was a sportsroof Mustang and the Mach 1, and the Mach 1 was only available with a sportsroof body style.

EDIT:
This is NOT THE CAR, but it looks like this with the chrome on the front, same grille, and badges on the fenders.
