Vehicle Description
Here's your chance to get your hands on the end of an era at an
affordable price. The 1973 Ford Mustang was the last year for the
generation, and they didn't come any lower, wider, or longer... and
in the case of the Mach 1, they didn't come any meaner looking
either! So if you like classic looks and a V8 rumble, keep
reading.
Grabber Orange follows in the great tradition of hot Mustangs in
bold colors, and this looks great today thanks to an investment in
a professional respray. There's no better way to showcase a Mach 1
than with the NACA ram air hood on a blacked-out treatment that
matches the front air dam, rear spoiler, and revised stripe
package. The whole Mach 1 aggression looks great on a body as
straight and clean as this one. We really love the detail work,
like how the front bumper correctly remains body-colored, the rear
chrome bumper shines like a mirror, and the Mag wheels retain their
pony center cap. In fact, you'll find a lot of period-correct
elements on this coupe. That feels right for a car that proves on
the Marti Report that it was originally sent to the Jacksonville
ordering district, and we can verify that it has been a Florida car
for decades.
We always love it when the exterior accent color is a preview of
the interior color. It just always makes a classic feel like a
well-coordinated build. Plus, nothing looks better against the bold
exterior orange than a deep black interior. More than just a high
performance coupe, Ford also wanted a luxury image for the Mach 1.
So this one still retains its high-back bucket seats as well as the
wood veneering on the door panels and dashboard. In total, the
interior is another exercise in the original elements, right down
to the AM/FM stereo. And as you look over everything, you'll find
some great features that you don't see in every Mustang - from the
factory tach to the optional folding rear seat.
Under the hood is what purists will love to see. The 351 cubic-inch
V8 looks as clean as the day it left the factory, and the
presentation is just as honest, too. You even get the cool original
air cleaner that's painted blue to match the motor. It has the 351
callout on top - and just look at all those other original-style
decals! And while this all looks straight from the '70s, keen eyes
will spot all the right upgrades. After all, we love the headers
and the newer stainless steel dual exhaust for performance and
rumble. Plus, elements like the aluminum radiator help keep this
hardy V8 remaining reliable. And dependability is what you want,
because this one feels great on the road with a C4 three-speed
automatic, power steering, front disc brakes, and modern Cooper
Cobra rubber at all four corners.
This is the classic Mustang that has great paint, a very clean
presentation, and is complete right down to the pony on the grille.
1973 was the end of an era, and this Mach 1 is the best way to
salute the legend. Call now!!!
