1972 Ford Mustang Convertible. This Mach 1 tribute combines classic styling with modern upgrades, making it a standout choice for enthusiasts. Powered by a 351 CI Cleveland V8 engine, it is paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission and a 9-inch rear end, delivering strong performance and reliability. The car is equipped with factory air conditioning, power steering, power brakes, and a power black convertible top, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience.
The exterior is refinished in its original Medium Bright Yellow, applied approximately 20 years ago, and features Mach 1-style upgrades, including a blackout hood, deep chin spoiler, and black side stripes. The car rides on chrome Magnum 500 wheels wrapped in new Firestone radial tires, adding to its classic appeal. Additional exterior features include black sport mirrors and a sleek, straight body, showcasing the quality of the New Mexico sheet metal.
The interior features an all-black design with high-back bucket seats, a humphugger console, and a dual-spoke steering wheel with a clear view of the aftermarket tachometer. The cabin also includes an upgraded AM/FM radio for better driving music, enhancing the overall experience.
The engine bay is clean and tidy, with the 351 Cleveland V8 at its heart. Previous owners added numerous chrome upgrades, including valve covers, air cleaner, radiator supports, coil, shock mounts, master cylinder cover, and braided lines. The car also features aftermarket front and rear sway bars, new shocks, and a performance-tuned dual exhaust system.
This Mustang Convertible is one of only 6,401 convertibles sold in 1972 and has been owned by the same individual since 2003. It’s a rare and desirable example, combining classic styling, modern upgrades, and strong performance.
