Cobra Jet

Description for Ford Mustang 1973

You are viewing my 1973 Mustang Mach 1, -code witha 351 Cobra Jet under the hood and 28,370 original miles on the odometer. This Mustang has a wonderful history, ith the gentleman I purchasedit from having owned it for more than a decade and the original owner still being active in the Mustang hobby!I've had the pleasure of getting this Mach 1 out on the road quite a bit this summer and it is really remarkable. It runs and drives just as its low mileage would suggest, nd it has anabsolutely stunning look that everyone appreciates. It comes withsome very nicedocumentation that includes the owners manual, uild tag, riginal warranty card, eluxe Marti report, uild sheet, indow sticker and even a repair bill from 2008 showing 27,801 miles. The previous owner took it to shows and did some sunny day driving, ut otherwise he stored it with the love and care this fine Mustang deserves, nd its spectacular condition is the result.

** I just wanted to add a very nice update on the history of this car. Last night (July 8th) I received a call from the son of the original owner! He saw this listing andreached out to me.The original owner is still alive and active in Mustangs, nd they are all very happy to see that his beloved Mach is still around and in beautiful condition. The son told me that his dad owned the car for 27 years and that the mileage is true and correct. The only change he noticed in my photos was the addition of the magnum wheels on BFG's but when I told him that the original wheels and tires were stacked nicely in my garage, e forgave me for making this change:). During the conversation we were able to flesh out essentially the entire ownership history of this great Mustang, nd he told me he hopes the car goes to an appreciative owner as it holds a real place in his heart. Car guys know how that feels, e've all got a car or two that is way more than just a car. I will definitely pass along hisname and number to the new owner so the history can remain unbroken and intact on this wonderful piece of Ford history.**

*** UPDATE #2: After having spoken with the son of the original owner on July 8th, oand behold the next day the original owner himself called me! He told me all about his history with the car, erified the mileage as true and correct, nd even worked with me to establish an unbroken chain of ownership from day 1 until today. What a treat! He added that he had hardened valve seats and stainless steel valves installed so she'll run on unleaded fuel with no issues, hich is a greatupgrade. He also added that the car has never been restored, ll the sheet metal is original, nd the interior isas original as the day he took possession. The 351 CJ package was the optionhe ordered special! He asked me topass along his info to the nextownersothat he could answer any questions on the car's first 27 years for you. ***

This Mach 1 has somereally great features. It has a working tachometer, he very desirable fold-down rear seat, agnum wheelswrappedin newBFG Radial TA's, ord's Gold Glow Metallic paint, ear window louvers and deck spoiler. But the 351 CJ motor is the big option: very desirable and whatan awesome feeling when you get into the pedal! The interior is spectacular, ll the gauges work and are clear and beautiful. The carpet is incredible and eventhe Mustang floor mats are flawless. The undercarriage is beautiful and rust-free and just as stunning as the rest of thisgreat example of an icon. This is an awesome Mustang Mach 1 in every way.

I have owned and collected classic cars for the last 26 years, eginning with the 1969 Dodge Charger I bought when I was sixteen, nd which I still own today. I still own my 2nd car as well, 1983 Pontiac Trans Am, hich I drove from my senior year in high school through to my second year of graduate school in the department of English at the University of Central Florida in Winter Park, L. So my passion for classic carshas been a lifelong pursuit and is about the most fun I can imagine having. I am an Oxford-educated motorhead that's been car crazy since bell bottoms were in style the first time around. And because I love to find, wn, rive and collect all kinds of classic cars, here comes a point when I have to sell a few of them to keep my collection manageable, r else they all don't get exercised like they should. This is one of those times. My collection has expanded to about two dozen cars, hen really, f I am totally honest with myself, should get it down to about twelve so that I have the time to drive and enjoy them all. I am a firm believer that cars should and need to be driven. And when I can't drive them all enough, go through the painful process of letting a few of them go on to new owners that will hopefully get out there and drive them more than I have time to. That is why I am offering this beautiful Mach 1 for sale at this time.

Please contact me with any questionsyou may have. I'm also open to trades if you have an interesting classic car.
