1973 Ford Mustang

1973 Ford Mustang Convertible â?" 302 V8, Red Interior, NASA Hood, Power Top Why This Car Is Special The 1973 Ford Mustang convertible occupies a genuinely significant place in pony car history: it was the last open-top Mustang Ford would build for a full decade. After 1973, the convertible body style disappeared from the Mustang lineup until 1983, when Ford revived it on the much smaller Fox-body platform. That ten-year gap makes the 1973 Ford Mustang convertible the final expression of the original 'large' Mustang era â?" a car built before emissions regulations and fuel shortages forced a complete redesign. Anyone who understands that history knows exactly why these cars are worth preserving. The 1973 model year was also the last for the SportsRoof and the classic Mustang body that had been evolving since 1969.
