The 1972 Ford Mustang seemed to represent the despair that Ford was having with sales of its formerly infallible pony car. Little changed from the 1971 model, with only a few additional performance and exterior options to enhance the faltering line. Only 125,813 of the machines were produced that year.
Of course, 1972 was a difficult year for all muscle cars, between the Clean Air Act and the Arab oil embargo. Due to these new restrictions, power was reduced rather than increased in the '72 Mustang. The highest-rated engine (the 351-ci HO) achieved 275 horsepower. Still impressive, yet for a top-of-the-line engine, slightly disappointing to the Mustang enthusiasts.
4.5 Overall rating
(30 reviews)How can you go wrong with a muscle mach 1? People would ask if this thing was for sale on a weekly basis. Motors built to about 430hp. And it just sounds like a beast, the whole car rumbles at idle. Easy to work on too.
The Hulk - is a 1972 Ford Mustang Grande with a 351 Cleveland Engine - bored .40 over - 11.5/1 compression - with an Eldabrock intake - Holly 700cfm Duel Staged carb - an FMX transmission bolted to a 9" Dana 3.89 rear end... This baby FLIES... She's got 428hp to the rear wheels!
It may be a heavy 70's car, but the 351 Cleveland engine with the four barrel carburetor & a manual transmission has plenty of power. I love the looks of the long doors and the star gazer back window. In the process of taking it apart and restoring it.
Its my baby, I built this mustang when I was in highschool. our family has 6 mustang, we absolutely love everything about them, we build them from top to bottom. theres nothing like building your own beautiful old mustang. Deffiantly the best car ive ever had..
good performance 351 c 4v it's old but you might not think so ,and it has great lines in the body it's not great on gas but performance in the 70's gas wasn't a issue. while driving this old beast you get plenty of thumbs up.
