Description:
THIS… is a 1973 Ford Mustang Convertible, finished in yellow over a ginger interior.
This Mustang is a fully loaded, highly documented example powered by its original 351ci Cleveland V8, paired with an automatic transmission. Equipment includes factory air conditioning, AM/FM stereo, full-length center console, tachometer and gauges, power steering, power front disc brakes, and a power-operated convertible top with glass rear window. Documentation includes the original factory invoice and two original build sheets.
The engine bay retains a high level of originality, featuring correct belts, hoses, starter solenoid, voltage regulator, yellow-top ignition coil, factory air cleaner, decals, and finishes. Underneath, the car displays concours-correct suspension components, factory paint daubs, proper overspray patterns, and a correctly detailed driveshaft with identifying paint stripes.
The trunk is finished with correct splatter paint, a new trunk mat, and includes the correct scissors jack, lug wrench, spare tire, and mounting hardware, along with a new top boot and the original top boot storage bag.
Inside, the car features correct date-coded seat belts, a flawless dash pad, factory steering wheel, and excellent seat upholstery with the original interwoven comfort-weave inserts, which are no longer available. These details, combined with the overall condition, support the car’s believed original mileage.
Exterior features include front and rear spoilers, side stripes, and the desirable Tu-Tone Hood with a NASA-style scoop, finished in correct matte black and equipped with functional hood locks. Additional details include dual exhaust with correct H-pipe, mufflers and turn-downs, a honeycomb rear panel, and an NOS pop-open gas cap. The car was originally finished in copper and has since been refinished in the more desirable Medium Bright Yellow.
The body is described as absolutely flawless, with no signs of rust or filler. All major panels—including the quarter panels, trunk floor, drop-offs, deck lid, doors, floors, fenders, aprons, and valances—are reported to be original to the car, with no repairs or reproduction sheet metal present. Even the taillight panel and battery box appear to be original.
Recent service includes a fresh paint correction, new carpeting and underlayment, a new windshield with correct Carlite logo, and new Magnum 500 chrome wheels and center caps. All air conditioning components were replaced and the system was converted to R134, blowing ice cold. Additional recent updates include dash lights, shifter bezel, and door speakers.
All systems are reported to function properly, including the horns, tachometer, gauges, lighting, wipers, heater, and cigarette lighter. The factory clock has been professionally restored and keeps accurate time. The car starts easily, runs cleanly, and is reported to have no leaks or smoke.
Overall, this 1973 Mustang Convertible represents an exceptionally preserved and meticulously detailed example with extensive documentation, high originality, and excellent drivability.
