Please note that experience shows us that the photobucket of over fifty large pixel pictures posted here are in most cases best viewed and downloaded using the very latest and most updated version of the 'Firefox' browser as some other browsers and especially older browser versions are not capable of accommodating the size of the download. Over the years our clients have overwhelmingly been appreciative of our many unaltered large pixel photos posted in our ads and our feedback has been that it is very rare that a seller will post all but the most flattering of photographs. We prefer to expose the complete roll of film taken of the car, in sometimes unflattering but natural sunlight, in order for our prospective buyers to be able to see true and reliable images of the car advertised and that is the reason for some seemingly duplicated shots. We trust you will agree. West Coast Classics are proud to present a rare low mileage and beautiful example of this original southern California owner car and the last year of the legendary first generation Mustang, a 1973 Ford Mustang 'Grande' 2 door Hardtop Coupe (Grande Hardtop models continued this last year as the luxury model of the Mustang line-up featuring the luxury 'Grande' interior trim with deluxe interior panel appliques and a wood grained center instrument panel, molded door panels with wood grain inserts, deluxe cloth seat inserts, an electric clock, a rear ash tray and which also added Grande badges on the C-pillars, color-keyed dual racing mirrors, deluxe wheel covers, a dual accent strip along the bodyside and a vinyl roof), it's original 351 2V V8 engine with only 45K original miles, automatic transmission, working air conditioning equipment, power disc brakes, power windows, original AM/FM radio, lovely 'Grande' luxury interior in original 'Black Vinyl with Black Cloth' with matching carpet and kick panel, a center console, tilt wheel and a matching black vinyl roof and which was repainted a few years ago in its original 'White' color paint.
