1973 Ford Mustang

1973 Ford Mustang Convertible â?" 302 V8, Power Top, Solid Undercarriage Why This Car Is Special The 1973 Ford Mustang convertible holds a distinction that most collectors have come to appreciate over time: it was the last open-top Mustang Ford would build for eleven years. When the Mustang II arrived for 1974, the convertible was gone from the lineup entirely. It didn't return until the 1983 model year. That makes every 1973 Ford Mustang convertible a legitimate endpoint in a specific chapter of Mustang history â?" and it makes survivors in solid, driving condition increasingly difficult to find. The 1971 through 1973 generation is often called the largest Mustang ever built in the original pony car era, and that's accurate.
