Vehicle Description
With its cool color coordination and good investments, this 1973
Ford Mustang Convertible shows it has appeal in both its
fundamentals and uniqueness.
We love a color like Brilliant Black. It looks like a starry night
where the darkness is broken up by the metallic element embedded in
the paint. So while the color is like midnight, it really pops
under the noon sun. And a convertible is the kind of car that
always belongs in the sunshine. It's part of a full custom package
that includes the red painted hood stripes, added hood scoop trim,
and a set of black American Muscle 18-inch wheels. The full
presentation of the car isn't perfect, but the overall point is
something more. What we like about this car is that it's a drop-top
with a unique style, and it represents the last of the first-gen
convertibles. There would be no second-gen factory ragtops, and so
these always stand out as a defining moment in the Mustang's
history. And this one makes it more fun to show off with a custom
style and a driver-quality appearance that's easy to take on the
road.
The newer black convertible top looks good against the paint, but
for true distinction, you'll want to power it down. The bold red
interior looks like hot lava radiating from within the dark
exterior, and it even coordinates with the stripes. There are also
provisions for some nice classic features that will just need
servicing if you want them to function again. This includes the AM
radio that's there for display, and there's even a newer compressor
for the factory air conditioning. And from day one, you can also
tell this meant to be a driver-focused car. High-back front bucket
seats and a center console in-between give you a commanding feeling
when it's time to hit the road.
Under the hood is Ford's hardy 302 cubic-inch B8 with an Edelbrock
four-barrel carburetor on top. There are also solid newer
investments to keep this a cruiser with an aluminum radiator, front
suspension components, and dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers.
There's also a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering,
and modern sport tires afforded by the wheel upgrade. Plus, the
power brakes with front discs feel excellent. We're told it has a
new master cylinder and booster to really add confidence.
It's time to have some driver-ready fun with a long-body cruiser
classic. So if you're looking to drive a distinct drop-top, call
today!
