The 1973 Mustang was the last of the big Mustangs. The body was unchanged from the last two years except for minor changes to the grille. The Mach 1 was the performance model however due to emissions the 351 cleveland 4bbl only had roughly 156 net hp which is lower than gross. A 1971 Mach 1 was the star of the 1974 movie Gone in 60 Seconds although the car was meant to portray a 1973 Mach 1 in a 40 minute police chase. All in all I think this was the last of the real Mustangs.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1973 Ford Mustang express a mix of love and frustration. Many reviewers praised the car's power, unique sound, and nostalgic appeal, enjoying the thrill of driving and modifying it. However, some owners also noted the vehicle's need for repairs, poor fuel economy, and that it’s not as pristine as promised. Despite its flaws, the Mustang remains a favorite among many enthusiasts who appreciate its classic muscle car heritage."
It has it's flaws. It's over 30 years old so it's understandable. It's got good power and terrible gas mileage as you can imagine lol. The pipes on this car are originals and still sound great. It'll wake the neighbors with ease lol. Original 351 Cleveland 5.8 V-8 monster. New everything pretty much. This car has had it's problems but overall it's been an amazing vehicle.
August 27, 2009My dad's car that he bought new in March of 1973. It's in great shape with 43,000 original miles. Once you drive a convertible, you don't want to go back to a hard top.
April 17, 2008Supposed to be the 'luxury' version of the Mustang. The 302 is still a great engine to upgrade and I see these cars are beginning to get attention on Jackson Barrett and other auctions because for the most part they weren't owned by kids so they didn't get beat on or modified. Clean originals are out there but rare, since the rest of them got crushed at the end of their useful lives instead of being turned into street rods.

January 11, 2012Loved the car, Old and kinda rough lookin but it was great. had lots of power, was very fast and handled like a dream. Repair costs were cheap since it was so old but it was still very reliable. It got roughly 5-7 Mpg. it needed basic repairs nothing too major. All in all Was VERY fun to drive.
December 29, 2011This Mustang has a power plant transplant. The 351 Cu In Cleveland was replaced with a 429 Cu In. The performance of this car was exceptional. The car's styling always turned heads. The large engine completely filled the engine bay and heat related problems due to lack of fresh air ventilation plagued the electrical engine management systems.
December 4, 2011the car handles great, has a four-barrel carb and awesome acceleration, and is in good condition! Its got Cherry Bombs on it so it sounds awesome and is fricken loud!
May 1, 2008I loved the roar of my 351 Cleveland, it had headman headers, and custom 2.5 " exhaust with an x-pipe, and bullet race mufflers. I also had 3:55 gears put in the car. Dam she sounded sweet! The car was all rusted out, it was a 15 footer otherwise overall value would have been a 5.
April 3, 2010I learned how to work on cars with the Mustang, doing tune-ups and maintaining a clean running engine and clean bodywork. The 302 V8 engine emitted the sweetest of engine sounds, provided the starter solenoid, carburetor, spark plugs, battery, transmission, and alternator were replaced.
June 2, 2008The 1973 Mustang was the last of the "classic" Mustangs, and the last Ford convertible for many years. This Mustang is white, with the Ginger interior and 250cid, 6-cylinder engine. In 1973, this engine produced about 88 horsepower, not a lot of ponies in this Mustang, but the payoff is close to 20mpg!
September 29, 2008Still amazing after over 30 years.
