Vehicle Description
We know there are a lot of you guys out there who love these early
'70s pony cars, so when this great-looking 1972 Ford Mustang
fastback showed up, we ushered it in and got busy taking some
photos. A very recent freshening that includes new paint, interior,
4-wheel disc brakes, and a mildly upgraded 302 cubic inch V8, it's
the definitive answer to the guys who say horsepower died in
1971.
The look says "pro touring" but in truth, it isn't too far from
stock. The bright red finish looks awesome and with a satin black
hood, this one doesn't need a lot of add-ons to get your attention.
In fact, the fastback shape looks especially clean without spoilers
or window slats. It was repainted quite recently, so it looks great
with almost no signs of wear. They were careful not to over-do it,
however, because the price needs to stay reasonable and you're
going to want to drive it every chance you get. The shine is
awesome, the bodywork is very nice, and as I said, the hood gives
it a hi-po look that few cars could match in 1972. As a good
original car, the panels fit together quite well and in 1972, the
chrome bumpers and grille surround were standard equipment and they
still look great today. As a result, it looks incredibly crisp and
insanely appealing, the definitive performance look for 1972.
The black interior was also replaced almost entirely. The dash is
original, but beyond that, all the soft parts were upgraded to
fresh parts. High-back buckets, a mini console, luxurious-looking
door panels, and a taut headliner make it feel new inside and you
can't argue with the style, which isn't dated at all. A factory
2-spoke steering wheel frames deeply set gauges that monitor the
basics and look to be in good condition with fresh lenses. It
carries factory A/C (the system is brand new but has not yet been
charged), and along the way someone has added a modern
AM/FM/cassette stereo system that sounds great when you're
cruising, and honestly, do you really need more than a thumping 302
for fun? The folding rear seat makes this Mustang remarkably
practical, and the trunk is beautifully painted to match the
bodywork and needs nothing more than a repro trunk mat to be
totally finished.
In 1972, a 302 cubic inch V8 was the most popular powerplant in the
Mustang arsenal, and it's plenty entertaining today. This one was
originally a 2-barrel engine but it's been upgraded to make it a
bit more entertaining without changing its character. It has been
upgraded to a Holley 4-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock intake
manifold to help it breathe a little better, Pertronix ignition,
and a set of long-tube headers, so it's definitely more potent.
Ford Blue paint, finned valve covers and a matching Ford Motorsport
air cleaner, and satin black inner fenders provide a great visual
treat and there's a big radiator up front to keep it cool. They
even added a reproduction Autolite battery topper. The C4 3-speed
automatic shifts smoothly and it powers a stout 9-inch rear end
with highway-friendly gears inside. The brake system is almost
entirely new, including a disc brake at all four corners and a
fresh booster under the hood. The undercarriage is incredibly
clean, with light undercoating on the floors, a new Flowmaster
exhaust system, and a new gas tank out back. Trick Ridler wheels
look fantastic and carry staggered 255/35/18 front and giant
275/35/20 rear performance radials.
This sucker looks amazing, but the way it drives will really win
you over. Not many Mustangs looked more potent than this, and it
definitely delivers on the promises the awesome bodywork makes.
