Gorgeous Restored Rare Color Code Mustang Convertible Up for sale is a Grabber Blue 1972 Mustang convertible that is the culmination of hundreds of hours of painstakingly detailed restoration of a tired humble old car that is now a head turning powerhouse of a classic performance investment machine in pristine condition. This restoration alone would cost easily 50,000 in most shops, and my reserve is less than half of that. From a total of just over 6100 Mustang convertibles there were less than 200 Grabber blue Mustang convertibles produced in 1972, which makes it very rare, but I took a low optioned car and added the best of period availability parts to bring to you a high performance car that goes as good as it looks, that gets constant compliments and appreciation wherever it is seen, whether driving or parked. The accolades come from people of all ages and demographics. The car is very responsive, good torque right from the start, it idles very well, has a nice lopey sound that lets you know that performance is there and ready if you need it. At the same time, it is very reliable in traffic now, the high stalltorque converter works very well with this cam, you will love it!!Any areas of concern were dealt with by my body-man with 40 years of experience, who has helped me build many Mustangs that have come to Ebay and other websites that brought us together with people with a desire for a rare and restored classic Mustang.

Go directly to the photo page of this car: http://s623.photobucket.com/albums/tt318/TerrysMustangs/1972%20Mustang%20Convertible/ BODY: The body was stripped to a bare shell then underwent cleaning, scraping, and blasting of all crud that has collected over the last 38 years. The engine compartment was treated to a new rad support and new aprons. The torque boxes were removed and rebuilt by hand since new ones are not yet available. Both inner rockers were removed and replaced with factory reproductions. Of course being a convertible, my highly experienced bodyman welded braces into place to hold the body rigid while the body was strengthened with the structural parts that have made this car into a solid and sound body. floor parts and the trunk and taillight panel were also replaced rather than patched as some would do. Once the body was reconstructed totally rust free, it was coated with rust a fighting product, etch primed, under coated underneath, primed, blocked etc. then painted inside out in pieces. The doors, fenders, trunk-lid, hood, valances etc, were done individually off the car before assembly, and after putting the whole puzzle together, re-cleared, and show polished.
