Vehicle Description
The 1973 Ford Mustang was the last year for the first generation,
and it was also the last convertible pony car for nearly a decade.
And so you can't beat a standout like this one with V8 power, a
cool color combo, and plenty of sporty style.
It's pretty hard not to love a bright red Mustang convertible. This
was an upgrade later in life, and so that means a fresher
application that also has a good gloss in the sunshine. Red also is
an aggressive color, and so it sets the right tone for all the
sporty blackout pieces, including the full-length hockey stick
stripe, full-width rear spoiler, rear panel, and the hood trim that
really draws your attention to the two functional air scoops. The
color-matched front bumpers, form-hugging chrome rear bumpers, and
Magnum 500 wheel with pony center caps complete a package that
really respects this car's history while also showing off its best
pieces.
The black convertible top is a newer piece, and so it goes great
with the glossy black accents of the exterior. This color combo
looks so good that you'll also be happy to know that when you power
the roof down there's also a full black interior. And because the
dark color is so important to this convertible's inside/outside
coordination they made solid investments here, like newer seat
covers and newer carpeting. These kinds of additions enhance the
quality feeling without taking away from the vintage atmosphere. In
fact, this one really likes to show off its classic/stock style
everywhere from the wood-like trim on the doors to the Philco AM/FM
radio that's still there for display. Like a good pony car, this is
set up to be a good driver. The high-back front bucket seats, floor
shift, and grippy dual-spoke steering wheel make it easy to get
comfortable.
The engine bay has a terrific look you want in a V8 Mustang. After
all, the best engines from Ford's big blue oval also have a bold
blue appearance. And the pliable rubber gasket on top of the air
grabber is something enthusiasts love to point out at the car
shows. It means yours is really breathing fresh air from the
functioning hood scoops. Underneath is a 302 cubic-inch V8 fitted
with an Edelbrock intake and a four-barrel carburetor. It's a good
runner that also has great anytime driving features, like the
three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes,
and front discs.
Complete with owner's manual, this is a classic convertible Mustang
from quite a significant year. So it's great to find an example
that represents the style and substance so well. Call now!
