The first generation of Mustangs from Ford changed the auto
industry as it 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 features
like 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.

The interior features dual front bucket seats and the upholstery is
a combo of Black vinyl with Red diamond stitched cloth inserts.
Between the seats is an aftermarket Black HumpHugger console for
cupholders and storage. The t-handle shifter is mounted to the
stock console on the floor. On the center of the dash it has its
faux wood trim and AM radio which works. Just below that is an
aftermarket gauge pod for the oil/amp/temp gauges. In front of the
driver are the stock gauges along with a newer Black and Red Grant
steering wheel. In the trunk it has the stock style mat as well as
a spare with cover and a newer 2 ton jack.
