Vehicle Description
The 1973 Ford Mustang is a pretty significant car. It's the last
year for the first generation, and a convertible like this would be
the last time for a droptop for over a dozen years. So to find one
that is so well restored and upgraded (including a powerful V8 and
comfy A/C interior) delivers a proper showing of this noteworthy
classic.
The factory-correct Gold Glow seems like a fitting way to close the
book on the first-generation pony car. It has been given a
professional respray later in life, and so there is a nice
clearcoat shine that radiates when the sunshine hits this
sunshine-friendly droptop. Even the front bumper is painted (a
year-correct option.) Plus, the gold is a great backdrop for the
black Mach 1-style performance upgrades. That means a blacked-out
hood with NACA ducts, deep chin spoiler, and the hockey stick
stripe running the full length of the car. It's such a
well-coordinated package that even the black convertible top looks
great when it's in place.
As much as we like the look of this one with the roof up, with the
flip of a switch, it powers down to reveal an attractive ginger
interior. After all, this is the kind of color-combo that instantly
signals the 1970s, and it's even the factory-correct color for the
car. But as you dig a little deeper, you start to see the large
investment in this convertible. The covers for the front seats look
quite correct, but you can see that they are actually modern
buckets with plenty of added comfort. There are even cup holders
in-between. The radio is actually a retro-sound unit with a digital
AM/FM tuner. Plus, the R134a air conditioning is blowing nice and
cold, so you can enjoy this convertible long into the summer. And
we know you'll love the performance feel of the three-spoke sports
steering wheel, full gauge package (w/large speedo and tach), and
Hurst shifter.
Under the hood, this one has been upgraded with a 351 cubic-inch
V8. It looks nice with the ribbed valve covers and long Cobra-style
air topper. Plus, there's the performance you'll love with an
Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock intake. The dual
exhaust sings the performance soundtrack, and you have complete
control over it all with the four-speed manual transmission. Plus,
there's power steering, power brakes w/discs up front, and wide BF
Goodrich T/As on mag-style wheels. It delivers a package that's
easy to show off everywhere (hence, the Power Tour decal on the
windshield.)
The sale comes complete with the dealer invoice, owner's manual,
and original AM/FM radio. This restored Mustang convertible
delivers an upgraded experience on a significant pony car. So if
you're looking to enjoy your classics on the road, don't let this
one slip away. Call now!
