The first generation of Mustangs from Ford changed the auto
industry as brought on the "Muscle Car" era. It was met with huge
success and to continue that winning record in 1969 they started
introducing a variety of performance packages and trim levels. One
of these was the Grande. The Grande was only offered as a hardtop
and was sold as the luxurious trim option with wood appliqus in the
interior, a softer ride, and more sound deadening. They were
offered with a vinyl top that was initially an option but became
standard in 1971. This very cool 1973 is one of those Grande cars
and was the last year for the 1st generation. It is a very nice
driver and painted in a combination of Red with Black side stripes,
a Black taillight panel, Black grill, and Black vinyl top. Painted
front bumpers were standard on this model and in back the bumper is
chrome. All of the factory emblems and trim pieces are mounted in
place. The lights all work and the grill mounted turn signals sit
to each side of that iconic running horse in corral emblem. The car
rides on a set of Cragar S/S wheels which look perfect on a car of
this vintage. Those are then wrapped with Hankook 215/70R14
tires.
Powering the car is a 302 V8 which it was ordered with originally.
The motor runs well and is equipped with a Holley 4 barrel
carburetor, Edelbrock Performer intake, Ford motorsport valve
covers, and a chrome air cleaner. Combined with the motor is a 3
speed automatic transmission that shifts smoothly and the stock
rear end. The power steering system on it is all new and it also
has power brakes with discs up front making it very smooth to
cruise around in.

steering wheel. In the trunk it has the stock style mat as well as
