1972 Ford Mustang Description

For fans of early '70s Mustangs, this 1972 convertible is a neat find. It's got a sweet-running 302, a great color combination, and a very appealing price tag. Exceptionally well finished, it offers a lot of authenticity that's in outstanding condition overall.I don't know what Ford designers were thinking when they called the color "Bright Red," which is pretty uninteresting for such a great looking car, but the bright paint is exactly right for the fun-loving Mustang, particularly in drop-top form. The recent repaint is simply spectacular, probably nicer than most of these cars ever receive simply because their prices don't justify it. Obviously that wasn't the case here and someone clearly restored this one for love, not money. It has spent its entire life outside of the Snow Belt, so it's quite clean overall and there's no evidence that it's ever had major reconstructive surgery. Doors fit well, the long hood fits flush, and it wears a set of silver stripes and a chin spoiler that are somewhat reminiscent of the Mach 1. Chrome bumpers add a bit of formality to the attractive pony and a blacked-out tail panel adds some welcome contrast so it's not red overload. This is a great-looking car.The code CW White Knitted Vinyl interior works quite well with the bright red paint. We're guessing that the interior has been freshened, because the seats and door panels are way too nice to be more than 40 years old, particularly in a convertible. The black carpets are also new and provide some much-welcome contrast to the brilliant white upholstery. A center console with an arm rest and a clock is a nice addition in a car already loaded up with options. Original gauges cover only the basics, but they're in good order with clear markings, and it's worth noting that this Mustang has factory A/C that blows cold. An AM/FM/cassette stereo radio is a welcome upgrade on a car that's going to see a lot of driving, and there's a white power convertible top overhead, so sunshine is available almost instantly. A nicely fitted white boot hides the top when it's down and the trunk is finished with correct gray spatter paint and what might just be the original spare tire.We believe the 302 cubic inch V8 is this car's original engine and it provides effortless cruising that suits the convertible just fine. Not really designed for hammering at the track, it's instead torquey and smooth and makes pleasant V8 sounds thanks to a recent dual exhaust system. Otherwise, however, it's quite stock, including the factory air cleaner and massive A/C compressor up top. It's easy to see that there was a considerable amount of time and effort invested here; just look at that Ford Blue engine enamel! The 3-speed automatic transmission shifts well and powers a 9-inch rear end with highway-friendly 3.00 gears inside, making this Mustang a relaxing cruiser that doesn't mind hustling now and then. Magnum 500 wheels are really the only choice on these cars, and they're wrapped in fat 235/60/14 white-letter radials that suit the car's sporty personality just fine.Documented with a Marti Report and other paperwork, this is a neat Mustang ragtop that offers you an affordable way to get some first class convertible action.
