Unfortunately my situation has changed and I need to sell it now. First, I would have to say this car is a blast to drive had a great summer with it! It is a great driver which you can enjoy and restore a little at the time if you chose. I purchased the car from a gentleman who owner it for over 20yrs. During this time it was garaged and driven by him in hopes to restore it. He collected basically every part you would need to restore the car. Plus he also bought alot of spare parts for the car. I even have another engine and trans. To many parts to list (see pics). I have garaged it as well and taken great care of it. The car has some small rust spots overall it's in great shape. It has some interior issues like headliner and dashboard (which are included with parts). Overall this cars is very solid and drivers nice and straight. All body lines are straight as they should be.

It was to be replaced by a smaller, lighter breed, therefore, most of the changes for '73 were merely cosmetic. A large, square, chrome headlamp bezel appeared, as did chrome trim around the tail lights. A color keyed Urethane front bumper replaced the chrome units of the previous years. The front parking lights were now placed vertically in the front grille. A new, grained, black applique with bright trim was placed on the rear body panel between the tail lights. This was replaced with a honeycomb style on the Mach 1 and Grande models. The 1973 Mustang convertible was to become the last Mustang convertible for many years. There were a total of 134,867 Mustangs produced in 1973.
