Vehicle Description
The GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1973 Ford Mustang
Mach 1 for your consideration. This Mach 1 comes in a bright gold
paint job complemented by a light brown leather interior and a
black vinyl. This Mach 1 comes with a rebuilt 351ci 5.8 Liter V8
paired to a well-sorted automatic transmission. This Mach comes
with an MSD ignition system, BFG Radial T/A tires, Radio, and
speakers. The Ford Mustang Mach 1 is a performance-oriented option
package of the Ford Mustang, originally introduced in August 1968
for the 1969 model year. It was available until 1978, returned
briefly in 2003, 2004, and most recently 2021. As part of a Ford
heritage program, the Mach 1 package returned in 2003 as a
high-performance version of the New Edge platform. Visual
connections to the 1969 model were integrated into the design to
pay homage to the original. This generation of the Mach 1 was
discontinued after the 2004 model year, with the introduction of
the fifth-generation Mustang. Ford first used the name "Mach 1" in
its 1969 display of a concept called the "Levacar Mach I" at the
Ford Rotunda. This concept vehicle used a cushion of air as
propulsion on a circular dais. Please call or email us today for
more information.
1973 brought some mild restyling. The urethane front bumper became
standard and was enlarged in accordance with new NHTSA standards.
All Mustang models had their sportlamps replaced with vertical turn
signals, as the new bumper covered the previous turn signal
locations in the front valance. Both a Mach 1 and base grille were
offered, with differing insert patterns.
Mach 1 decals were also revised in 1972 for 1973 models, and the
previous hockey stick side stripes of 1971-1972 models became an
option on hardtops and convertibles with the addition of the
'Exterior Decor Group'. Magnum 500 wheels, previously optional,
were superseded by forged aluminum 5-hole wheels.
The 1973 model year Mustang was the final version of the original
pony car, as the model name migrated to the economy, Ford
Pinto-based Mustang II the next year.
