This is the best way to celebrate the end of an era. The 1973 Ford Mustang was the last year for the first generation, and it was also the last convertible pony car for nearly a decade. And so you can't beat a standout like this one with a powerful V8, all the right power options, cold A/C interior, and even a new overdrive transmission. But it's what's most amazing is you can get something this desirable for such an obtainable price.
It's pretty hard not to love a bright red Mustang convertible. Of course a recent professional application of bold Viper Red gives this one the kind of luster and shine that really made you stop and take notice. But beyond great paint are some show-stopping details. The blacked-out hood and hockey stick stripes not only emphasize this convertible's long and low bodylines, but it also really helps unite a color scheme. After all, these black accents match so well with the new convertible top, new front valance, rear spoiler, and the custom American Racing Torq Thrust wheels. It gives this convertible an overall theme that balances sophistication and aggression that's reflected in everything from the bright chrome bumpers to the NACA hood scoops.
And the color coordination continues on the inside where the black interior looks great against the red paint the kind of total package you love to have in a droptop. And the reason why you're instantly attracted to this deep black total package is because the seats, carpets, door panels, and dash are so fresh. You have all the right features like cup holders and full auxiliary gauge package. Plus, there are some very cool hidden features. For example, the original 8-track radio is still in the dash, but an AM/FM/CD stereo that's in the glovebox is providing the real tunes. Also the factory air conditioning is now blowing cold modern R134a. And because the A/C allows you to keep the top down during the summer season, you'll also be happy about the power windows and power convertible top. That way you never even have to leave the driver's seat to go from enclosed comfort to a wind-in-your-hair experience.
Under the hood this Mustang has been upgraded to a 351 Cleveland V8. Its appearance keeps to H-code dual-barrel carburetor standards with the big air cleaner and Ford blue paint on the block. Plus all the major components have received solid investments in their maintenance. This V8 is a fine powerhouse for all occasions thanks to a set of long tube headers that add to the performance while also adding rumble to the newer stainless steel dual exhaust. On the road this one feels like a true highway champ with a new (sill under warranty) C4 four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. Plus, the handling is downright sporty with power steering, front disc brakes, front sway bar, and modern performance tires.
Documented with the original owner's manual and maintenance records, this is a well-sorted classic Mustang you can pick up for less than the price of a new ragtop. This pony is one of the nicest and affordable classic companions you'll ever have. Don't miss out, call today!!!
