That car isn't a Grande, never was, as the Grande wasn't available in the Sportsroof body style. The 63D is the code for a Sportsroof as is the"02" in the VIN. The Sportsroof is the most desirable of all the body styles.
The "3" in the VIN is the last digit of the model year, 1973.
The "F" is the plant it was built at, Dearborn, as were all 1973 Mustangs.
The "H" in the VIN says it was originally equipped with the 2v 351.
"152767" is the consecutive build number. Your car is the 52,767 Mustang to be built during the 73 model year.
The 6E color is Medium Bright Yellow (This is the color your car is/was
http://www.svs.com/zim/mustang/images/73-6E.jpg )
AF is Medium Ginger Interior (biege/tan in color)
By the 152767 number your car was built during mid-late November of 72.
There were 14,428 Sportsroofs, including Machs, that had the 351 2v motor in 73.
There were 1,312 Sportsroofs with Medium Bright Yellow paint and Medium Ginger interior in 73.
There were 8,050 Sportsroofs with a factory vinyl top in 73.
Sounds like you found a nice car and worth looking into more. The 71-73s are starting to go up in value and should continue rising. They do lag in value behind the earlier Mustangs and are harder to restore as the big bodied Mustangs lack the repro parts following as the earlier ones although they are slowly getting better to as the demand rises.
'73 Grande?
