Property of a deceased's estate 1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Convertible Registration no. TGF 225L Chassis no. 3FO3M122331
Footnotes
Ford created a new class of car almost overnight with the introduction of the Mustang sports coupé part way through the 1964 season. Aimed at the affluent young, for whom a car was as much a lifestyle statement as means of transport, the Mustang succeeded brilliantly, achieving sales in excess of a quarter million by the end of '64. A new, restyled and enlarged Mustang was Ford's big news for 1969. Top-of-the-range model was the awesome Mach 1 that came with a 351ci (5.7-litre) 250bhp V8 engine as standard equipment.
An automatic transmission model finished in red with black vinyl interior, this example of the fabulous Mustang Mach 1 Convertible has the 351ci ('M' code) V8 engine with four-barrel carburettor producing 300bhp, and was considered at least the equal of the Shelby 350 GT when manufactured. The car was imported into the UK in 2000, having already been restored, and was acquired by its late owner in April 2002. Kept in storage for a number of years, it has just passed the MoT test and is described as in generally good condition, with engine running well. The car is offered with a V5C Registration Certificate and MoT to January 2018.
