1972 Ford Mustang

1972 Ford Mustang Convertible â?" Bright Lime, 302 V8, Power Top, Clean Undercarriage Why This Car Is Special The 1972 Ford Mustang convertible occupies a specific and increasingly recognized place in Mustang history. By 1972, Ford had been building the larger 'SportsRoof' Mustang body â?" introduced in 1971 â?" for two full model years. This generation is often overshadowed by the original 1964-1970 cars in collector circles, but that perception is shifting. The 1971-1973 Mustang was the last of the true long-hood, short-deck pony car designs before the Mustang II arrived in 1974, and the convertible version is by far the rarest body style of the bunch. Ford produced only 6,401 Mustang convertibles for the 1972 model year, making this body style significantly rarer than the hardtop or SportsRoof fastback versions built that same year.
