1973 Ford Mustang Mach I Convertible

This beautiful example of a genuine Michigan assembled 351ci V8 Mustang Convertible is very special indeed. Rarely do you see these under-rated Mach I cars in as good condition as this. Having been the property of one couple for the last 11years, the car was treated to an engine rebuild in 1999 shortly prior to their ownership, and travelled just 10,000miles on the fresh engine, there are bills to support. At the same time as the engine, the suspension was also rebuilt.

This Mustang further benefits from being converted to an unleaded cylinder head, has supporting MoT's back to 1991 when it showed 19,000 miles (now 33,000) and even a past auction entry from Miami in 1989 stating 19,000miles.

The Power hood is fully operational and in good condition with only very light creasing to the rear window. All shut lines and panel gaps are excellent and the paint quality looks fresh with a deep shine, albeit there is no record of when (or indeed if) it was repainted. The front bumper would benefit from being repainted as it has some small surface cracks, especially in the corners, but it doesn't detract from the overall appeal. The wheels are all excellent and shine in all the right places with good tyres and plenty of tread.

Structurally this car appears very solid and is not reported to have been involved in any accidents as you'd expect from a car which has clearly lived a pampered life. The interior is very good indeed, save for one small area of sagging above the armrest on the driver's door card, but this could be simply rectified.

As you can imagine, the car drives very well with both engine and gearbox behaving themselves and pulling strongly, and importantly, the car stops in a straight line.

The car is accompanied with a healthy history file, UK V5C logbook and current MoT.
