Vehicle Description
Sure, you might still occasionally glimpse a generously
proportioned, late first generation representative of Ford's
beloved Pony Car on the road now and then - maybe even one in open
air configuration. Rest assured, it won't likely approach the
awesomeness of this 1972 Ford Mustang Convertible. This is one of
those rare, skillfully modded classics that checks all the right
boxes, possessing outstanding curb appeal, a tastefully customized
interior and propelled by an enhanced, strong running small
block.
It's an art form unto itself to lavish just the right level of
aftermarket customization on a car so universally recognized -
attaining just the right singular appearance without going so far
as to detract from the model's initial appeal. Mission accomplished
on that front. As this '72 comes into view, you'll see right away
just how much skilled craftsmanship went into its paint alone.
Combining a black metallic backdrop with broad candy apple red
accents over the hood, this is a standout job - the shine is
undeniably strong, the texture is uniformly smooth as silk and the
color combo really comes alive when exposed to the sun. Shaved door
handles add to this Pony's already abundant distinction, while the
added front air dam and rear spoiler look at home in this setting.
Your first inclination will almost certainly be to picture yourself
behind the wheel of this classic with the blue sky above you, but
should clouds encroach, the black convertible top is in great shape
and raises into place without issue.
There are plenty more surprises inside the doors in the form of a
stellar driving environment. A pair of contoured Corbeau racing
seats takes the place of the original buckets and their black
leather surfaces, red stitching and embroidered seat backs blend
with their surroundings nicely. They straddle a seamlessly
installed center console that provides some welcome interior
storage space, as well as a pair of cupholders, while just below
the floor is lined with fresh matching carpet ornamented with a
pair of branded floor mats up front. Farther forward, the compact
Grant steering wheel not only increases leg room for the driver but
it looks great perched on the column, and if you peer through it
you'll see the blue glow of the Dakota Digital gauges now recessed
into the instrument panel. An aftermarket AM/FM/CD player with a
removable head pairs with speakers mounted in the door panels to
provide a quality audio experience.
Plenty of eager power comes via the 302 cubic inch V8 between the
shock towers. Enhanced with a Sniper fuel injection system as well
as a number of other quality components, it's good for well in
excess of 400 horsepower and is nicely dressed in an array of
chrome components that include its valve covers and pulley system.
The engine exhales into a pair of full length headers to minimize
back pressure and pairs with a 3-speed automatic transmission
that's shifting with slip free precision and a sizable aluminum
radiator is in front with an electric fan to ensure that operating
temperatures stay under control. The added power rack and pinion
steering provides an infinitely more refined experience behind the
wheel that could be achieved with vintage box technology, while
power disc brakes at both ends bring the set of awesome 18" black
Foose wheels to prompt, fade resistant stops.
You don't often see a finished result as uniformly impressive as
the one boasted by this 1972 Ford Mustang Convertible, so this is a
rare opportunity. Call today!
