75 mach 1

The only difference I have read somewhere (and that was quite a while ago, so someone correct me if I am wrong) is that the Machs had larger sway bars than the rest of the IIs. Maybe stiffer springs, but I think I might be pushing it. If memory serves, I read it in a little book called Mustang Red Book. The one I had (have somewhere... ) had info on all Mustangs up to '90.

Yes, the Mach I does have its own designated VIN code. All that REALLY means is that its a bit easier to verify. On a Cobra II or a King, you have to pop the hood and look at the bucktag...

I still see a lot more people specifically looking for Cobra II's and King Cobras than Mach I's...

True. It's odd, people really identify more with the Cobras. I've even seen factory Mach 1's that had been repainted to Cobra clone status. Personally, I think a Mach 1 looks really good on its own. I think if I had one, I would probably add the Cobra spoilers, and then do a hood black-out treatment similar to the first generation Mach 1's. Someone on one of these forums did that, plus added Magnum 500 wheels to the car and painted it Grabber Blue. It looks really sharp, and and excellent example of how good a II Mach 1 can look.

Make mine a '77 in Vista Orange, black interior with t-tops, please!

Not a big fan of any II fastback that doesn't have a rear spoiler. To me they just don't look right. Same with '70+ Camaros. My current car is just a plain fastback V8 car and the only thing I have on it at this moment is the Cobra rear spoiler. Hell, I sold a '78 T-Top Cobra car and still hung onto the fastback. Yeah sure it's cool to own a real Cobra but i felt really hesitant doing any real mods to the car because it was 'a real' Cobra. With my fastback, it doesn't bother me a bit.
