Probably due to increasing governmental fuel economy regulations, all of the Boss cars were dropped from the 1972 lineup. The Boss 351 and both versions of the 429 engine were dropped. During the early part of '72, a special 351HO model was offered. It featured a low compression version of the Boss 351 engine, with a special high-lift cam, mechanical lifters, forged aluminum pistons and a special 4-barrel manifold. The only "performance" model that remained for the entire '72 model year was the Mustang Mach 1. The Mach 1, like all other '72 models, were virtually unchanged. Production for 1973 topped out at 125, 813. Only 11,853 fastbacks were built that year. Base convertible prices was $ 3,102.00    If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at (323) 360-1988. Please note this car is also for sale locally.
