The gauges are crystal clear and this car has a factory in-dash tach. I was very impressed with how comfortable the high back bucket seats were especially when compared to early year Mustang bucket seats.

Front and rear seats are in great condition with no rips or holes. The original CW coded White knitted vinyl seats have sort of a houndstooth look to them that is very nice. The original boot cover for the convertible boot cover fits nicely and is in great shape.

It appears to be the original top so there is some minor discoloration as you would expect. The white power top is in excellent condition overall and functions perfectly and seals up very nicely. Here is a walk around tour of the body:Ĭomplimenting the stunning Bright Red body of this Pony is a White Power Convertible Top with a crystal clear glass rear window and original white knitted vinyl interior. Overall I think it is fair to rate the body on this car a strong 9 out of 10 and keep in mind just how unmolested and original it is. Both of these can easily be touched up if desired.
1973 MUSTANG CONV DRIVERS
The only minor flaws I could spot were a few tiny paint chips along the drivers door edge and a small 1 ” crack in the paint on the hood. One of the few changes made by the owner was the addition of period correct Cragar Chrome wheels which really look great on this car and are in like new condition. Rear bumper and all of the body chrome looks fantastic. The ’73 received a color coded Urethan front bumper which looks great. A white painted pin stripe accents the body line. This is not a car you need to worry about any rust issues as there are none! While many of the “71-73 Mustang Convertibles have been altered to resemble Mach 1’s this one is true to her original classic form. This Pony has all of its original body panels and they are extremely straight!! Body gaps are very even and doors open and shut rock solid with no sag. Especially when you consider the car was last painted 24 years ago.
1973 MUSTANG CONV CODE
The body on this Bright Red, color code 2B, ’73 Convertible is in amazing condition. I will do my best to provide enough pictures, a video of the car running and an honest description to help you decide if this is the right Pony Convertible for you. This beauty gets all the stares, comments and thumbs up you can imagine and it is truly a quality classic that someone is going to be thrilled to own. The Powerful, original 351 V8 has plenty of giddy up and this car glides along the road. I have been driving this car for the past 3 days, top-down in 80 degree sunny weather and it has been an absolute joy to drive. Well, he finally did and I am now offering this gem to the next lucky owner. For many years his wife tried to convince him to sell the Mustang but he could never bring himself to let her go. He always properly winterized it and only drove this car on sunny spring and summer days. He babied this car throughout its life and he had a separate garage for his collector cars. This was 24 years ago and the paint still looks absolutely beautiful today as you will see in the pictures. When he bought the car back in 1988 he said the paint had faded some and he wanted it to be perfect so he had it professionally repainted in its original Bright Red Paint code. He owned the car for the next 24 years accumulating only an additional 4000 miles on it in that time. At that time the car had 59,755 miles on it. Six years later when he and his wife moved to Ohio he decided he missed his old convertible so much that he found out who the current owner was and he bought the car back in 1988. Reluctantly in 1982 he sold the Mustang Convertible. About a month later he ordered a brand new Corvette from a dealer and for a while he kept both cars. We recently acquired it from a Dentist who originally purchase it in 1978 in Arizona from the original owner. Here is the brief story behind this gorgeous convertible.
