Vehicle Description
The Ford Mustang Mach-1 needs no introduction, a legendary
nameplate that brings to mind style, performance, and speed. This
1973 Ford Mustang Mach-1 is no exception, an authentic and stunning
example presented in a menacing red-over-black paint scheme matched
up to a correct drivetrain and spectacular Mach-1 decals. Powered
by an absolute screamer, a "Q-Code" 351 C.I. "Cobra-Jet" V8
breathing through a 4-barrel carburetor, this '73 Mach-1 is ready
to burn rubber at the push of a pedal. Torque is put to the
pavement through the use of a 3-speed automatic transmission, which
allows for smooth cruising as it shifts seamlessly. An authentic
final-year Mach-1, this '73 Mustang comes with all the functions
that a Mach-1 should. The functional ram-air hood feeds air into
the intake, while the front and rear spoilers add additional
downforce. The combination of the Mach-1 graphics in addition to
the functional Mach-1 features give this '73 Mustang an absolutely
intimidating, badass impression. The exterior is bathed in the
correct "Bright Red" paint, matching perfectly with the striking
"Mach-1" decals. The floors, frame, trunk and jambs are all in
especially fantastic shape and all present well! Opening the twin
doors reveals an absolutely stunning interior, with unique Mach-1
color-matched vinyl bucket seats and a full center console with
working clock. The V-shaped trim on the comfy bucket seats add some
muscular flair to the interior, and additional woodgrain trim
reminds you that you're driving a Mach-1! This '73 Mustang is
absolutely loaded with options, including power steering, power
brakes, front disc brakes, factory A/C, a functional ram-air hood,
front and rear spoilers, tilt steering wheel, factory gauges &
tach, a full center console with working clock, "dual-sport"
mirrors, power windows, factory aux. gauges, a working original
AM/FM pushbutton radio, a fold-down rear seat, rear window louvers,
hood pins, and a sweet-sounding dual exhaust system. Looking just
like it did off the showroom floor in 1973, this Mustang rides on
15" Magnum 500 wheels over some sporty B.F. Goodrich RWL tires.
This Mach-1 runs and drives down the freeway like a dream, and it
should because it looks like one, too. With the killer combination
of a red-over-black paint scheme, showstopping "Cobra-Jet"
performance and a stunning interior, this '73 Mustang is hard to
beat in any way. It's ready to go at the turn of a key, and we'd
love to see it in your driveway.
