Many folks call 1973 the unofficial end of the muscle car eraand#44; and thats likely because it was the end of the line for the first-generation Mustangand#44; and more importantlyand#44; its ragtop iteration. But the truth isand#44; cars like this 1973 Mustang convertible are wonderful cars with a distinct style that still says Mustang loud and clear. Add in flashy yellow paintand#44; cool black wheelsand#44; and a handsome interiorand#44; and suddenly its a car that everyone will envy you for owning. This cheerful Mustang convertible delivers exactly what the Mustang has always promised: affordable fun. The paint was done a few years ago in the proper code 6E Medium Bright Yellow (nice joband#44; name-making guy)and#44; and youd better believe its eye-catching. Its two-stage urethaneand#44; so itll look good for a long timeand#44; and while there are some touch-ups here and thereand#44; you cant argue with how right it looks. The sheetmetal is quite straightand#44; a detail highlighted by the black body stripe that stretches from nose to tail. It hasnt been over-dressed with aftermarket hoods and spoilersand#44; so it faithfully replicates what you might have driven off the dealers lot back in the early 70s. Bright trim on the rockers makes it look even sleekerand#44; accentuating the long nose/short deck profile that made the Mustang famous. The urethane front bumper is in very good condition with no major cracks or splitsand#44; while the rest of the chrome and stainless trim has been well maintained and shines up nicely. The Ginger vinyl interior appears to be mostly newand#44; and it captures the look of 1973 very faithfully. Youll probably appreciate the lighter color when youre in the sun with the top downand#44; and the combination of Ginger and yellow works well and doesnt look dated. The factory gauges pretty much amount to a speedometer and fuel gaugeand#44; but by nestling them deep in the dashboardand#44; Ford gave them a sporty look even in this 6-cylinder ragtop. A newer AM/FM/cassette stereo was tucked into the dash and overheadand#44; theres a white power convertible top thats in good condition and features a glass rear window as well as a factory boot. The trunk is also properly finished with a reproduction mat and spare tire with cover. Mustang experts will glance at the VIN and quickly see that this car has an L-code 250 cubic inch inline-6. Now before you turn awayand#44; give this car a chanceand#44; because the big six is not only thriftyand#44; but its also durableand#44; torqueyand#44; and cheap to insure. It starts quickly and easily and idles so quietly most folks wont even notice its running. The engine bay is impressively clean with nice details and lots of new equipmentand#44; including distributorand#44; alternatorand#44; water pumpand#44; fuel pumpand#44; beltsand#44; and hosesand#44; so its ready to ride. Its backed by a C4 3-speed automatic transmission and 9-inch rear end with 2.79 gears insideand#44; so its a relaxed cruiser with pretty good torque. Theres more new stuff underneathand#44; including most of the front suspensionand#44; brakesand#44; brake linesand#44; and shocksand#44; and the exhaust has a nice six-cylinder grumble. Black Torque Thrust wheels give it a wonderfully unique look and carry fresh Cooper radials all around. Theres a lot to be said for 6-cylinder Mustangsand#44; this is an affordable way to own the car that started it all with the bonus of a top that goes down. Call today! |
