Many folks call 1973 the unofficial end of the muscle car era, and that's likely because it was the end of the line for the first-generation mustang, and more importantly, its ragtop iteration. But the truth is, cars like this 1973 mustang convertible are wonderful cars with a distinct style that still says mustang loud and clear. This cheerful mustang convertible delivers exactly what the mustang has always promised: affordable fun. The sheetmetal is quite straight, a detail highlighted by the black body stripe that stretches from nose to tail. Bright trim on the rockers makes it look even sleeker, accentuating the long nose/short deck profile that made the mustang famous. The urethane front bumper is in very good condition with no major cracks or splits, while the rest of the chrome and stainless trim has been well maintained and shines up nicely. The ginger vinyl interior appears to be mostly new, and it captures the look of 1973 very faithfully. The factory gauges pretty much amount to a speedometer and fuel gauge, but by nestling them deep in the dashboard, ford gave them a sporty look even in this 6-cylinder ragtop. A newer am/fm/cassette stereo was tucked into the dash and overhead, there's a white power convertible top that's in good condition and features a glass rear window as well as a factory boot. The trunk is also properly finished with a reproduction mat and spare tire with cover. Mustang experts will glance at the vin and quickly see that this car has an l-code 250 cubic inch inline-6. It starts quickly and easily and idles so quietly most folks won't even notice it's running. The engine bay is impressively clean with nice details and lots of new equipment, including distributor, alternator, water pump, fuel pump, belts, and hoses, so it's ready to ride. It's backed by a c4 3-speed automatic transmission and 9-inch rear end with 2. 79 gears inside, so it's a relaxed cruiser with pretty good torque. There's more new stuff underneath, including most of the front suspension, brakes, brake lines, and shocks AM/FM
