Welcome! As far as the paint choice goes, If you decide to go white, Ford in the 90's had a incredible pearl white they used on the Thunderbirds. REALLY pops in the sun.

Welcome to the forum! Great story and looks like a great car. We all love to follow projects, so feel free to start a project thread to update us on the progress of your restoration.
N-code cars are very rare and I think that blue was one of the nicest colours for the '73s. My vote is to put it back to the original colour.

Welcome and nice car! Looking forward to seeing the progress. I kinda like the blue myself, but I'm biased...

Desert Valley Auto Parts, needed a little work but they were in pretty nice shape. Price was reasonable and since they are so uncommon it was cheaper than having my existing ones reworked.

I agree that the Pearl White is a great choice. If I am lucky enough to find one in white, that needs a new coat, that would be my choice. I saw a white 72 online in PA. that had my heart beating extra hard but it is gone. ![]() |
